Vandals have also ravaged the nearby sports complex, carrying away the buildings and pavilion 'brick by brick'.

Vandals have ravaged the Winburg sports complex in the Free State, reducing buildings and pavilion to a heap of rubble: SUPPLIED

Construction of the second stadium started in January 2013 but came to a halt when it was discovered that the contractor was doing shoddy work. This led to the contract being terminated and the project’s consultant took over the work in a sub-contract. “Due to these re-constructions that occurred there was eventually insufficient funds on the project to appoint another contractor to complete the works,” director of infrastructure Lungile Mukoteli revealed.

Mukoteli would not comment on a claim by the DA of tender corruption in the project, but said the matter will be handed over to the Municipal Public Accounts Committee for investigation and recommendations. “…their contracts ended and due to financial constraints [the] municipality was not able to keep them,” she added.Brunhilde Rossouw, a DA councillor in Masilonyana, said it was unthinkable that the municipality and the police have done little to prevent further decay at either facility.

“The buildings and pavilions have been dismantled and the building material looted over an extensive period of time…the petition seeks an immediate intervention and for the facilities to be rehabilitated as well as sufficient security to be put in place,” she said.

The R15.3-million Limpopo 'shack' tender was earned fraudulently - SIU - The Mail & GuardianOnly 40 shacks were constructed at Talana Hostel, and no structure was fully completed in Burgersfort Ext 10. Yet, the service provider received R2.5-million for the work between April and October 2020. Like every other tender in Limpopo!! ALL fcuking fraudulent!! It's not so much about the shacks itself. It's more about the 💰 millions spent on this low-level project. Shame on the ANC deployees. White-classified people are saying: 'What do you expect' Another said to me 'this is Africa'.
