Cape Town â A service provider that was awarded a tender to build a guardhouse for security at Vuselela Primary School in Khayelitsha has set tongues wagging after it built a 1m by 2m iron shack.
Nalikhaya Constructions built the guardhouse in July after being nominated by the school governing body (SGB).
The company lists Mcebisi Gantsho as a director in papers. He is said to be a husband of one of the teachers at the school, Thembisa Gantsho.
Speaking to the Cape Times yesterday, SGB chairperson Abongile Nyumbeka said when schools were about to reopen they received two quotations, one for R9 884 and another one for R10 200, and they chose the cheapest quote.
