Emfulenis Ghost Multi-Purple Center scandal exposed

The concerned municipality of EMFULENI is once again under the shot dies because it allegedly spent almost 24.2 million R for a multi-purpose center that does not exist almost seven years after the planned final date.

The place that was intended for the multi -purpose center in Palm Springs in the Vaal The DA in Gauteng's Shadow Minister for Sports, Art, Culture and Recreation.
According to information from the Gauteng Provincial Government, the project was costs at a little more than 44.1 million R.

As a result, the Da started a petition in the province, in which the Gauteng provincial government is asked to illuminate the whereabouts of the R24.2 million R24.2 million assigned for the construction of the multi-purpose center.
Chabalala said that the residents of this urgently needed center were excited to promote local talents in various sports regulations and to build positive role models through sport that will contribute positively to society.

“As it looks, this center may never arrive,” he said.

Chabalala said that he did the discovery during a recent supervisory test in the area for the multi -purpose center.

“During my visit to the website, I made a worrying discovery: not a single brick was laid, although millions had been spent on this project,” he said.

Chabalala wants Gauteng Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Jacob Mamabolo to clarify the matter in the provincial legislator, including where the money has gone, since it was not used for the construction of the multi-purpose center and the current costs that were accumulated in this project due to the delays in this project.

In addition, he wants the province of Cogta department why it has not intervened in order to convince Emfuleni to use the urban infrastructure grant (MIG) for this project.
The municipality recently returned MIG funds of 640 million R to the National Ministry of Finance.

The project was originally planned for completion on June 15, 2018, but according to Chabalala, there is currently no schedule as to when the construction begins or when it is finished.
He said The project is financed through the MIG, but only after the approval of Cogta was obtained.

In October last year, the municipality stated that the first phase of the project began in July 2017 and the final date of June 2018 was, while there was no start and end date for the second phase.
When asked when the project should be completed, the municipality announced that there was no defined date for the completion of the second phase due to the failure of the funding.
According to the municipality, two service providers who were appointed for the project were paid a little more than 10.9 million R and almost 13.3 million R.

Chabalala said Mamabolo's predecessor as Cogta Mec, Lebogang Maile, announced in 2019 that the first phase of the multi -purpose center was completed. The spokesman for the community, Makhosonke Sangweni, did not answer questions on Wednesday.
