Images of the multimillion-rand project infuriated South Africans who felt the outcomes did not match the budget
The glorious peaks of the Eastern Cape mountains provide a spectacular backdrop to the Lesseyton Sports Facility in the Enoch Mgijima municipality, but the price tag for the newly opened project is anything but beautiful.
“I fully understand the negative commentary and public comments on the matter. We have requested the leadership of Enoch Mgijima local municipality to get all the facts about the scope of work for the project and what has been delivered so far,” he said in a statement, saying his office expected a full report before the end of the week.The Chris Hani District municipality — under which the Enoch Mgijima local council falls — has also expressed concern.
The R15m costs were not just for what was seen in the pictures that were circulating, said Kowa. Not only were there construction-related expenses but also initial “survey, geotechnical and geohydrological tests” to determine if the site was actually suitable as a sports facility.
