The Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (DID) has rejected claims that it lost close to R1 billion on incomplete or “abandoned” school projects, contradicting a report by the Sunday Times that suggested almost a billion rand had been invested in school upgrades across the province, with only two schools set to be handed over. The newspaper highlighted a troubling pattern of stalled, abandoned, and repeatedly delayed projects, some dating as far back as 2016, despite hundreds of millions of rands already paid to contractors.  Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Department of Infrastructure Development Spokesperson, Theo Nkonki.
