Who was paid? There must be a paper-trail

I'd be intrigued to know what it would cost to build a similar structure today.

Seems like the DA ministers are shaking the beehive a bit, I foresee this coalition disbanding at some stage, in the near future.

ANC are good at stone walling, so they can shake the beehive, only a few out of favour ants will fall out.

For now, Tshwane is feasible because you have a DA mayor. If he's out it'll all stall again.
