PRETORIA – The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation has launched a probe surrounding the construction of the Lesseyton sports facility near Komani in the Eastern Cape under the jurisdiction of Enoch Mgijima Municipality.

This after a complaint was lodged against the municipality, following a R22-million tender that was awarded for building the stadium.

The Hawks would like to ensure all and sundry that the matter is receiving the necessary attention. The probe is still in its infancy stages and as soon as all statements and necessary documents have been obtained and perused, the matter will be referred to the DPP for decision to prosecute.
