Free State government spent 25- million rand on an asbestos roof audit project that did not benefit residents

Free State residents have expressed their anger over the poor conditions they are living in after the provincial government spent 25- million rand on an asbestos roof audit project that did not benefit them. Last week, seven people accused of fraud, corruption and money laundering appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court after the Hawks arrested them in the Free State, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. They are facing charges relating to the multi-million rand asbestos housing project that dates back to 2014. Residents of Dark City in Bloemfontein say they are relieved the wheels of justice are turning for those who involved in the scandal.
