Mathulelwa, Ms B to ask the Minister of Transport

Whether he has been informed that the road from Matatiele to Maluti in the Eastern Cape stands incomplete, as the construction company that was paid out millions of rands by his department has vanished; if not, why not; if so, what steps have been taken by his department to retrieve the funds wasted?

Reply:

Yes, the road cited by the Honourable Ms B Mathulelwa was referred to the Eastern Cape Provincial Department of Transport, who advised that

  • the company, Klus Civils, was appointed for the reseal of Provincial Road DR08012;
  • the contract was terminated due to non-performance on 20 July 2022. The Department followed all processes as applicable in General conditions of contract for construction works 2015 (GCC 2015);
  • Klus Civils was only paid for actual work done in terms of their contractual agreement; and
  • the process is underway of sourcing a replacement contractor
