The construction of the R1.5 billion Mpumalanga Fresh Produce market in Mbombela has been further delayed by another two years. This is due to non-payment to sub-contractors.

This is due to non-payment to sub-contractors. The project is aimed at driving the economic growth of small-scale farmers and link them with international and local buyers. The fresh produce market was first mooted 12 years ago by the then Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza.The provincial government signed a bilateral agreement with a country in the Middle East. This was to enable it to export its agricultural produce to Oman.

Globber says additional funding was injected into the project by the provincial government. The DA says the building will soon need renovations before the actual market starts its operations. Grobbler says the Fresh Produce Market was a brilliant idea but the challenge is accountability by government.

But, the provincial Public Works Department has refuted claims by the DA that the project has stopped and no construction work is taking place.
