completion at 97%.

- Kopano Hospital Complex – Welkom: Noting that the facility is currently in a state of dilapidation and being converted into a residential complex. The project faced delays during its cycle.
- G Hostel Construction: Designed to accommodate 700 people, this project has
also been delayed due to contractor changes and substandard work but is
progressing under new management.
The NCOP team led by leader of delegation, Hon. Mapule Dhlamini, will continue their oversight visit tomorrow in Mangaung Municipality.
