Late last year Public Works and Infrastructure handed Tshireletso building to Social Development after completion of refurbishment.
Another building expected to be completed this year is the Thusanong building and this is how it looked in February 2023.
We took pictures and videos of the same building in November 2023 and this is how it looked.
Another building to be handed over is the below which will be used by Free State Education.
As we committed, we will monitor all departments and report on promises made by the respective MECs during their budget vote.
