Construction halted at Malema's Sandton home
Building was halted a week ago at the Sandton construction site of Julius Malema's new home - He reportedly owes the builder R400,000
Beeld newspaper reported that Malema was allegedly unable to settle debt of R400,000 owed to his building contractor at the end of March, after which the company decided to transfer its workers to another project in Bedfordview.
According to Beeld, Malema tried to transfer money from two accounts to pay Kwandisa Construction, but his second transfer failed.
The SA Revenue Service had also reportedly approached Kwandisa Construction with queries about Malema’s financial affairs.
Federico de Gregorio, the owner of Kwandisa Construction, confirmed to the newspaper on Thursday that building had been “temporarily halted”.
He could neither discuss nor confirm rumours that Malema’s account was in arrears, or divulge details about the outstanding amount.
Malema bought the property in September 2009 for R3.6 million, then demolished it to make way for a new three-storey home with an underground parking garage.

Shame, it was will never be conpleted, he should have not demolished it, now the stand will soon sell for less. Imagine a situation where SARS, Hawks (even though they are clawless and useless), Assert Forfeiture Unit, SAPS, and his own Association of National Criminals (ANC) are after you, you cant escapeReport Abuse

How can he pay contractors when he knows he got his money illegally and the Hawks wants to know where he is getting his money from. No contractor will be willing to pay the standard tender kickback fee plus On-Point's tender distribution machine has been placed on hold so where is the money going to come from?No political office means no immunity against prosecution, the unfinished building is the least of his concerns right now. This is just the begin of the difficult road ahead, the asset forfeiture unit is on stand by and by the time they are finished with him all the bling and glamour will be gone.
