The Brandfort property which Struggle icon WinnieMandela was banished to by the apartheid regime in the late 1970s is set to finally receive a R4 million facelift

Winnie Madikizela-MandelaWinnie Madikizela-Mandela lived at the now derelict house, number 802, in what was then called the black township in Brandfort until 1985. ANA ArchivesJohannesburg - The modest Free State property to which late Struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was banished in the late 1970s by the apartheid regime is set to finally receive a R4 million facelift.

The department’s implementing agent, Tshwane-based Risimati Consulting Engineers and Project Managers, is also looking for a company with a Construction Industry Development Board registration allowing it to complete general building works of up to R4m.According to the documents, the project will include the restoration of the existing memorial house, clinic and external works as well as the construction of a new internet hub and toilets.

EFF Free State chairperson Mandisa Makhesini said the party has always wanted the project to be completed and for Madikizela-Mandela to be honoured for her sacrifices in the anti-apartheid Struggle.

Hoeveel honger kinders kan dit nie voer? Kry julle prioriteite reg man!!

Time to rip off the taxpayer again for the same museum.

Mmmmm, who got THAT tender? Preposterous to charge that much; are they cladding the whole house in gold?

If administered by ANC government only I bet that 100k of the 4 mil will build the rest in their pockets. What's the point

I guess Ace Magashule will never account for the R3mil which is missing

You can do better with that money. what a waste to see tax payers money being used like this

BoRedi aba sobuwi?

I'm particularly interested in the new interpretation of the necklace-and-matches room, the one next to Stompie's.

Again.

Buying her flowers when she can't smell them

Face lift with who's money?

Yet the same Winnie wasn’t fit or heroine enough for the Airport naming process. We are learning.

One bag of cement will cost R5000

How many times? How many millions pledged over the past 10 years? Winnies house has become Ace’s laundromat!!

ANC will loot R3, 6m. The ANC ppl that even stole Nelson Mandela burial money 💵, will stop at nothing to put their hands on it. I forsee another R25m commission of enquiry in the looting of the R4m set for Winnie Mandela Brandfort property.

At the current rate that should be one toilet and just maybe a fridge...

4 million? What's going to cost that much?

How many times has this tender been awarded? R 4m ? That’s a lot of money!

How about we demand to see the specifications as to what the 4mill will spent on

You people like complaining on social media, same as you'll be voting here

We being taken for a poes

How can this be allowed when government hospitals don't even have beds?

It's confirmed, the Apartheid gov gave Winnie Mandela and other blacks in townships houses of R4 million rand. Don't argue here is the proof because this house was build by them and apparently worth R4 million.

What happened to the R3mil allocated in 2012 for the same project?

Waste of money. Build some people houses instead

4 Million !!!!.... You can build 50 of those houses for that money..... These people....🤣🤣🤣

Oh please give it up, now u wanna spend another R4millWhoIsTheTenderPreneur this time who will walk away with the spoils... You guys know how to abuse Us tax payers... WeBorrowRBillions then hand more to looters...because u can😏

They should let this go.... they should use this money to uplift communities

Although I respect her as an icon of the struggle we should stop spending large amounts of money on the memory of the dead whilst the living is dying in poverty!

MokgadiMaeko 🤣🤣🤣

Msezane_Sifiso How many times did they MYANC mention this in Free State SOPA..🤔 lamasela!!!

R4 million that's bull shit... who ever will get the tender will just spend R300k max and pocket the rest.... this is just playing javelin with money... real our government is taking for a poes... Surely there's someone who already on stay by to be appointed..bull shit..

It is quite a lot for just one house. There are people who seriously need houses. Millions meant for the Vrede farm project were stolen and used to sponsor a Gupta wedding. R20 million spent on Magashule's farewell party. Free State ANC is wasteful

Again ?

For that money it must have Nkandla level 'security upgrades'

Give me 1million ill renovate ot back to origanal condition plus ill make a 500 000 profit

The money isn't the problem, it's the theft thereof!

'Hurray, finally!' Qouth nobody.

R4 MILLION ARE THEY BUILDING REBUILDING A MANSION its cheaper to break it down and rebuild a replica . What happened to the millions that were spent on it before more corruption like to see the tender agreement

A vote for the ANC is really an insult to the country. These people will never stop thieving.

If it will ever happen 🙆🏾‍♂️ mara zaka yona yo jewa

Why?

I don’t believe you. That money shall just get missing again

What will the house be used for if I may ask?

4m they will hv to revamp it into a double storey

Waiting in anticipation for the Brandfort Museum house of mama Winnie to be completed. Mark my word 75% of that money will disappeared like fog in the sun amongst the comrades.

This suppose to happen when she was still alive But ke we all know, they even steal from icon

Is someone selling curry here?

What about the previous millions that just disappeared into thin air

For what That 4 mill can do a lot of things bo bakwethu Had she wanted that, she would have done it when she was still alive

Millions were already “spent” giving this house a facelift. So, where did the money go? Where will this R4 million go? And why will it cost R4 million? That’s a bit of an overkill. Somebody is going to get rich quick.

Masithembe ayizotyiwa nale

Trevor Manuel calls on Magashule to account for Winnie's Brandfort house money

ANC will steal it again

Are they going to do the neighborhood's roads over

I don't know about this hey !! Iet's is nie lekker nie !!!

Spend the money on real hoising not on a populist murderer cause. But then the anc have never displayed any brains in management...

What happened to all the millions received before for this very purpose... who ate the money and when can we expect the prosecution?

I already smell a rat. So now we honour alleged murderers?

That money will Baleka somewhere.

So Ace Magashule is getting away with the money previously budgeted.

How much money will make it to the project this time? R4 million can build a lot more houses for people that need them. You really need to get priorities right, let go of the past, move forward by fixing the present. It is SA or ANC it will never be both Corruption Looting
