The delegation visited Synchrocom where 257 housing units were constructed. The delegation was concerned about the reporting that was not clear and lacked specific issues e.g. foundations done and structures completed. Clarity was sought on what happens when a contractor leaves the site without completing the units and also what happened to the retention fees. A concern was raised on why R87 million was transferred to that particular contractor because that could open doors for corruption. It was further indicated that payment system of the municipality was not up to standard. It was alleged that rules of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), No 1 of 1999, were flouted, and the system needed to be tightened to avoid corruption.
