Patricia De Lille must explain 'washing line' Beitbridge border fence, says DA

PRETORIA – The DA is pushing Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia de Lille to brief Parliament on the "inadequate" R37 million Beitbridge border fence, intended to stop cross-border transmissions of Covid-19.

“It has widely been reported that the border fence at Beitbridge is laughably inadequate, and many questions have been raised about the process used to appoint the contractor responsible for building what can only be described as a 'washing line' to keep Covid-19 from reaching South Africa from Zimbabwe,” said Graham-Maré.

In March, De Lille announced that the construction of a new fence at the Beitbridge border between South Africa and Zimbabwe was starting and would be completed within 40 days.
