ActionSA takes Old Age Home scandal to Public Protector
The Star
|September 08, 2025
ALLEGATIONS of corruption and mismanagement have surfaced as ActionSA files a formal complaint with the Public Protector over the Boipatong Old Age Home project, which has stalled and already cost R28 million.
This comes after the party lodged a criminal complaint against the Emfuleni Local Municipality, the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development, and the Department of Social Development.
The Star previously reported that the Boipatong Old Age Home project, launched by the Emfuleni Local Municipality in 2015, has been mired in delays.
Almost a decade later, construction came to a standstill following the late discovery of a gis pipeline beneath the site, further hindered by contractor failures, poor administration, and ongoing community unrest.
ActionSA Gauteng Provincial Legislature Caucus Leader Funzi Ngobeni said the Boipatong Old Age Home was meant to provide a fully equipped residential facility for elderly residents, featuring 44 en-suite rooms, a dining hall, a sick bay, and other communal amenities.
Ngobeni said the project is far from complete, with only 52% of the work finished.
