The contractor, Clear Choice Builders, was appointed in 2021 with construction scheduled to be complete by June 2024. But the project faced multiple delays, and Clear Choice was placed under business rescue earlier this year, stalling the project. The Limpopo Department of Education and Independent Development Trust (IDT) insist that the project will be completed by 10 December 2025. Clear Choice Builders and the new subcontractor did not respond to requests for comment. Limpopo Department of Education spokesperson Mike Maringa said the school’s status as a special-needs facility justified the high budget.
