The department was hauled to the Johannesburg high court after failing to pay Makhado Project Management for work done.

The high court has ordered Lebogang Maile, the Gauteng MEC of infrastructure development, to pay over R15m to a company that was contracted by his department to build a hospital in Carletonville.

On June 2 2022, the company and the department entered into an agreement which resulted in the firm providing general building services, including renovations and repairs at the AngloGold hospital. “The project was performed to completion by [Makhado] and a certificate of completion was issued by the adjudicator in a subsequent decision dated May 23 2022,” said Olivier.

“[Makhado] sought enforcement of the adjudicator’s decision. The [department] oppose the application.” “According to the [department], the costs of the construction project had ballooned from an initial R50m, to over R588m. The SIU seeks to declare the agreements, including the agreement on which this application is based, invalid in terms of [the law],” read the court document.
