Contractors insist termination of project was on account of reasons beyond their control

There is no end in sight to the dispute over the incomplete R1.7bn Mtentu River bridge after Aveng said on Thursday it would appeal against a court ruling allowing the SA National Roads Agency to claim damages.

In the letter, the forum said construction projects worth at least R25bn were violently disrupted in the country. It cited the Mtentu and a R2.4bn oil-storage investment project at Saldanha in the Western Cape among projects that had been affected. It said ASJV “ remains confident that its right to terminate arose after being prevented from executing works on the project site by community unrest, protest action and threats of violence against its personnel, related to community demands made against Sanral”.

WATCH | Jacob Zuma won't rule out revenge as motive in Duduzane court case'I'm not a legal person, but listening to the arguments being presented, it's clear there is no evidence that has been given that he [Duduzane] was reckless.' Of course he is not a legal expert but just a plain simple illiterate and a criminal/SA Number One Criminal If he was not reckless how come he hit a car before him with such impact ? pierredevos The problem will always emanate from those that were in charge of the scene just after the Incident.
