The Matatiele Local Municipality has been accused of wasting millions of taxpayer’s rands on two projects costing about R16 million that have since turned out to be white elephants.
The municipality is said have spent R15.8 million on a fresh produce market and grain silos, none of which has been operational since inception four years ago.
Also of concern is that the municipality has spent a further R1.7 million on guarding the unused buildings, which is a slap in the faces of taxpayers and black farmers who were promised that their businesses would be supported through the projects.
DA councillor Wonga Potwana said there had been no commercially viable basis for the establishment of the projects.
