Minister de Lille Needs to be Serious About Investigating Beitbridge
4 June 2020
In March, South Africans were rightly outraged by the images of a simple barb-wire fence being erected at the Beitbridge border post between South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Today we have learnt of the Director General of Public Works defending this fence in Parliament, claiming the fence isdoing its job.
Minister de Lille confirmed the AG would investigate the work done, but most South Africans could see that that fence was not going to last a day – and it didn’t.
Minister de Lille, in media reports, has named the company awarded this work as Magwa construction. A forensic team that is working with The People’s Dialogue has reported to me that the company’s sole director passed away in 2014.
