Ibhunga likaMasipala ombaxa waseBuffalo City lamkele utyalo-mali lwe-R4.6 yeebhiliyoni zotyalo-mali kwiprojekthi yamabhongo yeSleeper Site. Olu qinisekiso lwenzeke kwintlanganiso yeBhunga ngoLwesithathu umhla wamashumi amabini anesithandathu (26) kweyeSilimela 2024.
IBuffalo City Metropolitan Development Agency (BCMDA) yiyo ekhokela le projekthi, kulandela uthethathethwano neVunani Capital, umtyali-mali okhethiweyo. Ngokwengxelo yeBhunga, isivumelwano siza kumiselwa ngokusemthethweni ngesivumelwano sengqesho seminyaka engamashumi alithoba nethoba (99) neVunani Capital, emva koko ipropati iya kudluliselwa kumasipala.
Esi sicwangciso-qhinga sophuhliso sijolise ekuguquleni ii-asethi zikamasipala ezingasetyenziswa kakuhle zibe ziqhuba uqoqosho lwesixeko. Indawo yokulala iya kuguqulwa ibe yindawo edibeneyo yokusetyenziswa, uphuhliso lwepropati edibeneyo, enezindlu, iindawo zokuthengisa, iipaki zeeofisi, kunye neendawo zokuhlala zabafundi.
Ukongeza, iBCMDA yenze isindululo sotyalo-mali olwahlukileyo kuphuhliso lwe-BCM Office Park kwisiqwengana somhlaba esahlukileyo, eyomeleza ngakumbi ixabiso leprojekthi kunye nembuyekezo kutyalo-mali.
USodolophu wesiGqeba saseBCM uCeba uPrincess Faku ulwamkele olu phuhliso esithi i-Arhente yoPhuhliso yaseBuffalo City yenzela isiXeko umsebenzi omhle.
“Le R4.6bn yimali efakwe kwisiXeko. Thina, njengomasipala asinakwenza okanye sisebenze sodwa kwiiprojekthi ezinjalo. Sifuna kwaye siyalamkela icandelo labucala ukuba lize kutyalo-mali kwisixeko sethu esikhulayo. Kudala sixelelwa ukuba akukho nto siyenzayo, kodwa le yinkqubela phambili yesixeko sethu.”
USodolophu oLawulayo uFaku wongeze wathi: “Le yinkqubela yokwenene yesisixeko sethu. Le mali ivela kumtyali-mali, hayi iBCM. Oku kukuxelela ukuba siyakwazi ukutsala abatyali-mali kwaye yinkqubela esiyifunayo le kule dolophu. Olu phuhliso lutsha lunendawo apho sinezakhiwo zeeofisi, iivenkile ezithengisayo kunye neendawo zokuhlala zabafundi.”
