125 people told us what they needed.
We went to the communities this facility is meant to serve and we asked them. Not about luxury. Not about price. About what their bodies need — and whether they believe a place like this should exist.
Field Study · South Gauteng · 2025
An independent survey of 125 residents across Soweto, Vereeniging, southern Johannesburg and Vanderbijlpark. The demand signal is unambiguous.
people said that wellness is important to their health journey — yet most had never accessed a dedicated wellness facility.
said they would travel more than 30 kilometres to reach the right facility. Distance is not the barrier. Access is.
said they would spend R1,500 or more per day on quality integrated wellness care. The willingness is there. The facility is not.
cited a chronic health condition as their primary reason for seeking wellness support. Medical need, not lifestyle preference.
purpose-built integrated medical wellness facilities currently serve south Gauteng's 2.8 million residents. That is the gap we are filling.
residents live within the primary catchment area of the Walkerville site. This is not a niche market.
"There is a 2.8 million-person community in south Gauteng that has never had access to a facility like this. We are not guessing at demand — we have been meeting it for over three years."
The Roots Health Centre currently operates from a rented clinical space. This development is the permanent home of a proven, 100% Black-owned healthcare practice that has already outgrown its premises.
