CIDB deregisters 13 construction companies over alleged false grading applications
The CIDB says the companies misrepresented information in applications to secure higher registration grades. More than 50 cases have also been referred to the police, according to officials.
The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) has deregistered 13 construction companies from the National Register of Contractors due to alleged misrepresentation in their applications to upgrade registration grades. Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson announced the decision alongside CIDB board chairperson Khulile Nzo and chief executive Bongani Dladla.
These contractors were found to have misrepresented their qualifications, undermining the integrity of the system and posing risks to public projects by engaging unqualified contractors.
