WRACK AND RUIN: Ball in SAPS’s court over R38m Gqeberha police flats fix
The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, has heard the calls about the deteriorating state of the Algoa Park police barracks in Gqeberha. But the police will have to make the funds available for repairs.
The deteriorating state of the Algoa Park police barracks in Gqeberha has drawn attention to the urgent need for repairs. The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, has been informed of the poor condition of the two-block residential complex, which houses SAPS personnel and their families. Macpherson acknowledged that the current state of the facilities is unacceptable and that the refurbishment is essential.
With an initial estimate of R38 million for the extensive repairs, Macpherson's office will continue to monitor the matter and engage with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to ensure the necessary refurbishment proceeds once the funding requirements have been resolved.
