They are now coming forward and asking for 20% which is already another R11 million. We say no loud and clear. We're going to say no. We're not going to allow you to have excess money. What we want now is a complete investigation. The EFF as well as the Freedom Front Plus are under the impression that there is corruption afoot in the whole matter.

Mayor Ntsolela unconvincingly responded:

"The current scope of work is 99% complete and we have a further R10 million grant to adjust the current scope of work. The adjustment of the current scope of work will include paving, lights and others."
