Poor and incomplete work at a development in Germiston leads to thousands of rands being lost with a R102 million project undertaken by the Development Bank and the Ekurhuleni municipality.

Poor workmanship is just one of the problems as the project had to be completed in January 2019.

Postponement until April 2019 did not yield any result. TCT, according to their website, is committed to transformation and empowerment and is a BEE company.
