Hawks to probe Eastern Cape’s R15 million stadium
The Hawks have confirmed that they’ve launched an investigation into the multi-million rand sports field near Komani in the Eastern Cape. This is after social media users questioned the exorbitant amount spent on the sub-standard stadium by Enoch Mgijima Municipality.
According to the municipality, R15 million was spent on the project.
The Hawks’ Nomathandazo Mbambo said that a formal complaint against the municipality was lodged with them on Thursday.
“The docket was handed over to the Hawks for investigation, this is after a R22 million tender was apparently awarded for building the stadium in 2018. There were complaints that came pouring in after the opening of the stadium.”
Meanwhile, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC, Xolile Nqatha has given the Enoch Mgijima council speaker 48 hours to state why he should not institute disciplinary proceedings against its councillours.
