IDolobha lase-Ekurhuleni liqinisekisile ukuthi isibonelelo esingalungile sasetshenziswa ukuxhasa iphrojekthi yezindlu zomphakathi yaseClayville Extension 45 eseduzane, samisa inqubekela phambili yaso ngemuva kokuthi sekusetshenziswe imali engaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-R122, kungekho mindeni ekwazile ukuthuthela khona kuze kube manje. Endaweni yaseThembisa, amafasitela, iminyango, kanye nezintambo zikagesi zebiwe, kanti izakhiwo zisesezindaweni ezingasasebenzi \u2014 isimo esivunyiwe yi-MMC yezokuHlaliswa Kwabantu yase-Ekurhuleni, uKgopelo Holo, owathi, \u201cAbantu abaningi bathumbe iphrojekthi, ukuze bebe amafasitela, uphahla, kanye nezintambo zikagesi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ngokusho koMnyango Wezokuhlaliswa Kwabantu waseGauteng, imali engu-R63.5 million yadluliselwa ngonyaka wezimali ka-2020\/21 ukusekela la maphrojekthi, kodwa ukuqaliswa kwawo kwaqhubeka kungumthwalo wemfanelo wedolobha.

Ababengabasebenzi bendawo babike kwabezindaba bendawo ukuthi basakhokhelwa ngomsebenzi oqediwe ngaphambi kokuba iphrojekthi ime. UTsietsi Kukame, owayeyisisebenzi, uthe, \u201cSisebenze kule ndawo futhi sakha ezinye zezakhiwo.

UNgqongqoshe uSimelane ukhombisile ukuthi uhulumeni uhlose amaphrojekthi ezindlu angaphezu kuka-200 abambezelekile, okuhlanganisa neThembisa, ukuthi aqedwe ngokushesha ngo-2026. Izakhamuzi kanye nabasebenzi bangaphambili manje balinde isinyathelo esiqinile sokuxazulula iminyaka yokubambezeleka kanye nezibopho ezingagcwaliseki.<\/p>\n

Isikhathi sokuqedwa kwephrojekthi manje sincike ekungeneleleni okusha okuvela ezikhulwini zikazwelonke nezesifundazwe, kanye nezinyathelo zokuqapha ezivamile kanye nokuzibophezela ezilindeleke ngo-2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
