ANC builds bench 'stadium' costing R15 million in Eastern Cape

[ponder]

I think the 1/2 size astroturf hockey pitch my kid's school put in a couple of years ago cost more than R2.5 mil.

Did you get a new car?

Did you get a new car?

No, and my kids don't play hockey thanks to covid.

World class stadium. Another good story to tell.

 

[ConfusedR]

Ok sorry if this is a stupid question but who is suppose to oversee this so that this doesn't happen? I have no words to express how I feel about all these tenders and shyt from the ANC.

The ANC is investigating themselves.

They spent 4 million clearing a field for a school 7 years ago, nothing else was done since. So yeah inflation makes it about 7 million to clear the area, 4 million for the stands and 4 million for the sundries. Easy man

What ever the municipality says to justify this, im pretty sure " Because of Covid" will be mentioned

Its what the voters wanted.

The will of the people.

 

[RonSwanson]

Lol, how much did they pay the rent-a-crowd?

Edit: At least now they have another sh@t hole stadium so the people can come and listen to their empty promises.

Ah! Finally the real reason.

That article clearly indicates they installed water systems. Those are apparently up to the same standards as those stands and goals with no nets.

This is insulting. How long will the ANC continue to support this sort of blatant corruption and incompetence.

For as long as we allow them to.

Party time! Excellent!

 

[Bonywasawarrioraway]

Pardon me, but your racist white tendencies are showing ...

Oh I hope you are kidding.........

 

[mojoman]

"Build it, and they will come."

This should say
"Build it...and others will unbuild it....."

 

[Bonywasawarrioraway]

Egypt?

Are you saying it's not a schit show? or that there were no colonials?

 

[Bonywasawarrioraway]

I think you mean a construction vehicle. To transport the hosepipe and nets to the field. X5s are perfect for that. Might need the 4x4 capability.

Might even need 5 construction vehicles. 1 for each net, 1 for the hosepipe, 1 for the sprinkler, and 1 to take the gardener to open the taps. I also suspect there is a tender for a maintenance contract for those vehicles somewhere.

On that field? It's not might, it's a racing certainty.

sooooo how long before the steel from the stadium will be redistributed?

 

[Tman*]

sooooo how long before the steel from the stadium will be redistributed?

Next lockdown it will be disassembled, stolen and sold for scrap

 

[ToxicBunny]

sooooo how long before the steel from the stadium will be redistributed?

I would hazard a guess by the end of next weekend that stadium will make a nice superstructure for a few new shakes in the area.

LOL so proud of their handiwork , look at them cutting the barrier tape as a grand opening.

I prime example of how the ANC operates, at least this project actually produced something, even if it cost about 5 times what it should have.
