Athlete Mbulaeni Mulaudzi must be turning in his grave, says his former coach.
The acting secretary of the Zoutpansberg Development Forum , Andries Dobi said an investigation should be launched. He said a lack of skills and corruption were the main causes of the delays in building the stadium.
Dobi said that the forum is concerned that the stadium has not yet been handed over to the community, though the Makhado mayor claimed in his budget speech that the stadium was nearing completion. “It does appear as if the municipality had never done any oversight during construction,” Dobi said, adding that he believed that “very little” of the grant had been spent on the stadium.
He said only the first phase of the project, a practice track, had been completed and it had not yet been handed over. Ndou said that Kone Maweja planned to fund and build an ablution block as a donation to the community. But he said he was worried that the site would be further vandalised and blamed the Makhado Municipality for not taking ownership of the stadium and providing security.
The grant to Mavu Sports Development was done under the NLC’s controversial proactive funding model, which is at the heart of the looting of the Lottery. The funding method, introduced in 2016, allowed the NLC, in consultation with its board, or the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition to identify worthy projects and appoint an organisation to execute the project.
