The community of Ivory Park, in Midrand north of Johannesburg, is getting a new swimming pool.listed as a community development project within the City of Johannesburg's medium-term revenue and expenditure budget.
The Ivory Park Swimming Pool Complex, with its"Olympic-style" swimming pool, splash pool, and pavilion, aims to improve the quality of life for residents of the densely-populated suburb. "We really apologise to the residents of Ivory Park for the delay of the swimming pool," said Kepi Madumo, the then executive director of the community development department in the City of Johannesburg, to Bongani Bingwa"It's taken longer than anticipated primarily because there is a dispute between the main contractor and the subcontractor."
The community development department eventually appointed the Johannesburg Development Agency , which manages and facilitates infrastructure developments within the city, to complete the Ivory Park Swimming Pool Complex. "Kindly note that the JDA is the implementing agent of this project and cannot comment on a date for opening the facility," the agency told Business Insider in response to questions about when the construction will be completed.
