Limpopo R198m School for Blind Left Unfinished and Deteriorating
Moneyweb · 2026/03/28
Summary
A R198 million school for the blind in Limpopo remains unfinished and is starting to fall apart. The construction company, Clear Choice Builders, was paid R157 million but went into business rescue before completing the project. This has left the school in a difficult state, delaying much-needed facilities for visually impaired students. The incomplete building poses challenges for education and safety, and there is ongoing concern about when or if the work will be finished.
OnABudget takeaway: Consumers and investors should be aware of risks when contractors fail to complete projects, especially in government-funded developments. Small businesses involved in construction may also face challenges if clients or partners encounter financial difficulties.
