AT LEAST three of several multi-million-rand bridges and roads built by Julius Malema’s company in ­Limpopo were washed away within weeks of their completion.

The City Press newspaper reported on Sunday that several multi-million rand bridges and roads in Limpopo, built by SGL Engineering Projects in which Malema has the majority shareholding, had been washed away within weeks of their completion.

It reported that communities affected were demanding that authorities force the company to repair the infrastructure or take legal steps to recoup the money spent.

City Press visited several SGL projects in the past week.

"At Kgapane Township, about 120km east of Polokwane, only a portion of one of the two bridges constructed last year [is] still in place," the newspaper reported.

"A bridge built at the township's Meloding Section is effectively a hill of soil covered with pavement. It has no concrete layers.

"Residents said heavy rains in January swept it away just a few weeks after it was finished."
