The PICC noted that according to the DBE, contracts for 20 schools in the ASIDI programme were terminated. Replacement contractors for all schools but three were finalised between March and May 2013. Replacements for the remaining three schools were being processed and practical completion of the three schools was only expected early in 2014. It was further noted that all the schools had taken more than 12 months to complete. The last three schools would have taken more than 24 months if completed in February 2014.
