The top layer of soil had to be removed (3-4m) and replaced by a more geologically stable substance. This resulted in the project being delayed by some time. An amount of R3,734,000 was approved as a rollover to 2004/2005 2004/2005: (R3,733k) There were delays in the awarding of the construction tender. The contract to construct the facility was awarded to Kopanya Joint Venture in September 2004. Problems were then experienced in securing guarantees for the contract. These were eventually secured and construction commenced in the last quarter of 2004/2005. Rollover of the unspent amount of R3,733,000 was requested and approved.
