A look at the stunning new R2.5 billion council chamber for Joburg

Construction is well underway on the new council chamber for the City of Johannesburg, which forms part of a R2.5 billion face-lift to the governance district of the city.

as opposed to:

... the new council chamber for the City of Johannesburg, which forms part of a R2.5 billion face-lift to the governance district of the city

Arguably still wasteful but not really the same thing, is it? Especially when the article goes on to state that the "... chamber itself carries a development cost of R280 million". Another massive swing and miss headline by MyBB / BusinessTech.
