Contractor sues council for fraud

Matimba Maluleke, Hawks spokesperson in Limpopo, confirmed they were investigating a case of fraud but couldn't reveal further details.

In a letter seen by Sowetan, in which Matwalane disputed the termination of his contract, he accuses the municipality of illegally cancelling the contract after the squandering of funds meant for the project. "The municipality was fully aware that the project money was finished and failed to notify the contractor about the challenge," he said.

Ward councillor in the village, Daniel Mogale, said he was told that money for the project was exhausted hence it had been halted. "It has been months now since the project stopped. I recently learnt that the budget for the project is going to be re-adjusted," he said."The contractor missed the deadline to complete the project and we terminated his contract because he didn't even apply for an extension certificate. We are looking for a new contractor to take over the project," he said.Trending
