South Africans just don't know how to thank God ! I mean,at least they could see what the money was spent on. In Naija,our obodo naija, you'll only hear about billions of naira being spent on a particular project without anything, absolutely nothing to show for it ! South African politicians are learners when it comes to this game ! U go hear billions for naija,your liver go cut !

absolutely madness

Mandela887:
Please forget d project & focus on (15miliion Rand is 368million naira)....Nigeria is gone patakpata

Thank you @Mandela. Didn't see this earlier.
I give up. I think we should be more concerned as Nigerians on how our Naira is falling like Olympus day by day.
Imagine the sorry story we will tell our own children.
My son when I was like you... $1 was #150.
Local man is tired kpata kpata.

Ooooooh my beloved aftrica, who has done this to us, our beloved father land is in ruins.
A little opportunity and we abuse the privilege.
I still believe we can do better oooh Africa.[color=#006600][/color]

Nigeria is learning from this people.

But one thing that they did that amazed is that the ruling party is the first to criticize it not like here that there supporter will be finding one way or the other to defend it

Yo!

Africa, my Africa

Chai!!!!

Africans and corruption....it's like there is a common gene running through us. We shout for independence only for us to enslave our own people.

The looting was massive

Where's the stadium, I didn't see anything stadium o, I can only see a playing ground.

samista:
See the shameless people opening teeth to take pictures

Eastern Cape councillors in hot water

Political leaders in the Enoch Mgijima Municipality (councillors) who oversaw the construction and unveiling of the controversial 15 million rands (368 million naira) Lessyton Sports Field in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, are in hot water.

The provincial Cooperative Governance minister, Xolile Nqatha, gave them 48 hours to tell him why they should not be suspended for reportedly wasting taxpayers' money and bringing the ruling ANC party into disrepute.

He was speaking at the sport field during an oversight visit on Thursday.

This after pictures of the under-resourced sports field, which circulated on social media this week, caused an uproar.

Scores of people questioned its hefty price tag.

The sports field has no working ablution facilities and electricity, while its grass athletic track is marked with fading white paint. It also has removable roofless metal stands for spectators.

Nqatha said the fate of councillors depended on the report he was expecting from the municipality's speaker, Bongiwe Gladness van Heerden.

"Therefore, the speaker, who is responsible for [the] code and conduct of councillors, must give me a report as to what she is doing to ensure that those councillors are held accountable.

"For that, I am giving her 48 hours to give me the report showing what steps she is taking to hold those councillors responsible for bringing the institution into disrepute."

Speaking in the presence of the municipality's leadership, Nqatha said: "I am not a technical expert, but what I have seen and what I have read, there is no value for money here. There's got to be accountability as to whether due processes were followed in appointing the service provider and what really happened."

Meanwhile, the ANC's provincial executive committee (PEC) said if the investigation found any wrongdoing, the provincial government would act and deal decisively with corruption, mismanagement and the waste of public resources to make sure public money was spent on the services needed.

Welcome to Africa, I’m not surprised...

JaceBlaze:
Yah neh!

15 million spent but stadium nowhere to be seen...words can't express how much I hate this government

.

kunleiky:
Like Nigeria, like SA.
Tell us the equivalent in SA currency... Let's know the the gravity of bashing to give those involved.
Maybe @TMKSouth can help us

15 million rands.

Jidegaf:
Yes! Africa my Africa.............
The white should come and recolonised the entire continent back,may be they left in hurry.

House Nigga mentality.

TMKsouth:


Hey buddy . This is indeed comical. It can only be the Eastern Cape.

I have laughed myself to silly.

neighbourhud:


To rub it in

Because people like me don't understand naira.

mormoney85:

This has nothing to do with being African. You don't live in SA so you don't even know what happens here, your beloved whites are very corrupt as seen with cases like Steinhoff and others prove. Even with the Apartheid government, that was a very corrupt regime but you wouldn't know that because a typical Nigerian is very self-hating but very white worshipping

Do you know the corruption that goes on in Europe? especially eastern countries like Serbia, Bulagria etc ?

Get well soon . They will be arrested for what they've done to u and the R15m.

Dude, I ignored all those Africa comments. It will take 100 years to reset their mindset to loving themselves as Africans and blacks.

NetValueFX:
Black man is cursed

Nope, a mind that self-hates but worships whites and whiteness is the one that's cursed.

What is the logic for the OP using the naira equivalent in the headline report?
Do you just want to show us that you know about currency converting?
it doesn't make sense, and Nigerian's and the rest of the world are already aware of how our currency today is close to worthless.

You could have used the dollar equivalent rather which is around 1 million dollars.
No need to unnecessarily use our worthless Naira exchange.

I always try to ignore them but something in me just can't stand the constant negative comments about blackness, it's as if Nigerians feed of these negative stories of Africa forgetting there are a lot of positive things happening around the continent. And don't get me started with their worship of white people, if they could live in RSA they'll be amazed that their beloved whites aren't as pure as they might think

Was that the groundbreaking ceremony for construction to commence, or is this the actual finished stadium?

Commentor:
Op please show us the finished product.

That's the finished product.

kgr28:
So according to Nigeria white people are Gods..? Is that a reason after 10 000 BC of black rule in Nigeria, the country is still not there for a self proclaimed Giants.

Bro, you do not need to ask this at this point. Nigerians are very white worshipping. They see white people as Gods, it's so cringy

They are good learners.
Fast learning from their colleagues ,the giant of Corruption in Africa.

I am not surprised.
Corruption has now become the order of the day in Africa.

No one cares about accountability.

Nigeria learning from which people? You and your ilk are part of the problem of this country.
Despite the unmatched and historic levels of fiscal fraud and corruption going on under your nose all through your entire existence in this country, you go around in denial or maybe even blissful ignorance of the tragic degeneration of Nigeria.

Which kind of ignorant person will even insinuate that South Africa is more corrupt than Nigeria? smh

Definately not! most governments are corrupt, some more than the others.

@bolded - they've numbed me, especially coz it's half the comments here with that view.

The same white South Africans stole SA minerals and didn't build anything in black areas but filled their own pockets. Isn't that grande corruption? The world economic system is corrupt as hell, just look at Trump and his financial scandals. Really not in the mood today for coons.
