During the site visit the contractor raised issues of delayed payment and non-payment on the part of the municipality. Payment was therefore not done within the stipulated 30-day period, which was in contravention of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). According to the contractor, the municipality gave him more than one beneficiary list which caused confusion over which beneficiary list was the correct one. The delegation advised that completed houses should be allocated to beneficiaries for occupation as soon as possible.
