LOST: ALEX UPGRADE FUNDS: Alexandra Renewal Project: Search for the missing R1.6bn By Bheki C Simelane and Yanga Sibembe
Ask anyone you come across in Alexandra what the Alexandra Renewal Project has brought to the area and you are likely to be met with a shrug of the shoulders. The more vocal residents will tell you that the money allocated for the project has been “stolen”.
On 9 April, Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, who the community has demanded address them, but who is yet to do so, said he had received confirmation from his ace detective and the City’s head of forensics, Shadrack Sibiya, that he would launch a full forensic investigation into the project.
Makhura, who cut his activist teeth on the streets of the township, expressed shock at its current state, especially over the illegal structures snowballing across the township.
