Market Theatre falling apart despite R100m state cash injection | The Star

Severe flooding and damaged ceilings after huge downpours at the R100million government-funded Market Theatre Foundation precinct have highlighted the extent of the suspected corruption eating away at the iconic institution. Graphic videos seen by The Star show how, following the completion of the massive investment in Newtown, Joburg, in 2017, a deluge in December that year ripped through what was supposed to be a state-of-the-art ceiling and flooded the brand new offices.

Allegations are that corruption by the MTF’s chief financial officer, Christine McDonald, was largely to blame for the poor-quality work. MTF chief executive Ismail Mahomed was fingered for the irregular extension of an IT contract to a company that the report said had close ties to McDonald. Last week, However, McDonald said she hadn’t been suspended but was on approved annual leave and would return to work later this month.“My full defence will be revealed in a whistle-blowing arbitration that I have invoked,” she said.
