The town has four shopping centres, namely; Mandeni shopping centre, where most residents go, Sundumbili plaza, Gcaleka Shopping centre (also known as KwaGcaleka) and Mandeni Mall. It has seven township sections all falling under Sundumbili township. These sections are Bhidla, Sikhalambazo, Thokoza, Dark City, Red Hill, Island (sometimes referred to as Ireland), Chappies and White City.
