DA submits PAIA to obtain Evaton Renewal Project’s documents
Thirteen years on, at a cost of R700 million, this project has achieved very little. The MECs refusal to release the documents to the DA begs the question on whether or not he has something to hide. Evaton remains one of the provinces most neglected townships and residents deserve better.

The DA has today submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) application to obtain the Evaton Renewal Project documents.
This comes as Gauteng Cooperative Governance and Human Settlements MEC, Paul Mashatile, refused to respond to a letter from the DA requesting all documentation on projects rolled out through the Evaton Renewal Project (ERP) since its inception in 2004.

The DA will continue to pursue access to all documents relating to projects to the ERP. Gauteng residents deserve to know how their money has been spent over the past thirteen years.
