Another delay in the construction of Manenberg School of Skills
31 October 2022
Last month, I announced that the construction mafia had interrupted work on the new Manenberg School of Skills, an R84 million project scheduled to take 87 weeks to complete
Unfortunately, another delay over which the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has no control, has now struck the build. A company that was not awarded the tender, initiated an interdict and review application against the award of the tender contract.
Building of the school has been interdicted pending the hearing of the review application, on 24 November 2022 by the Western Cape High Court.
The result is that the community will, unfortunately, have to wait even longer for the school to be completed, and that there will be a delay in us providing desperately needed School of Skills places in Manenberg.
