Treasury reports compiled show that companies, individuals and national agencies such as the Independent Development Trust, SA National Road Agencies, as well as the Coega Development Corporation spent more than R1,6 billion on vehicles, clothing, beverages and meals while the money was earmarked for roads, schools and homes in the Eastern Cape.
R341 million was paid for housing but not a single house was erected. R10 million for the construction of mobile classrooms has led to nothing. Two road projects were done by two firms for R4 million and R82 million respectively, while Sanral was paid R2.3 million for one of the roads’ upgrades.
Housing has gone down the same road with more than R341 million that “disappeared”along with the houses.
Explanations are vague or “no comments” are offered in most cases.
