Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi has chastised the community of Rust-Ter-Vaal, who went to his office demanding that a contractor of their choice be appointed to build a school only to abandon the project halfway, which resulted in costs ballooning by R16m.
The Rust-Ter-Vaal Secondary School project started in 2016 but was only completed at the end of 2025.
Sixteen-million has gone to waste, and this is the same community that says I must build a stadium, said Lesufi on Wednesday at the opening of the school.
