MEC Maile, where is the Evaton Renewal Project’s missing money?
22 July 2019
The Gauteng Human Settlements and COGTA MEC, Lebogang Maile, has failed to account for R376 million that has been spent so far on the Evaton Renewal Project (ERP) in the Emfuleni Local Municipality.
According to a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, MEC Maile revealed that R332 117 511.77 has been spent so far on this project.
These figures are contradictory to the figures contained in the report published by the Auditor General (AG) in 2016 and his predecessor’s written replies in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.
According to the AG’s report findings, R708 474 966.00 had been spent on the Evaton Renewal Project by the end of 2014/15 financial year.
