Huddle Park investigation continues
Huddle Investments (Pty) Limited, whose shareholders are Investec Property, Standard Bank Properties and Global Capital, purchased 53 of the 180 hectares of Huddle Park from the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) in 2011.
The investigation into the sale of Huddle Park by the Public Protector’s office continues.
Ms Kgalalelo Masibi, the spokesperson for Public Protector Ms Thuli Madonsela, said the Public Protector is still waiting for a report from the South African Council for Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP) on the sale of Huddle Park.
“The report has not yet been received from SACPVP as the matter is still going through the SACPVP Disciplinary Tribunal. The investigation will be finalised after we receive the report from SACPVP,” said Ms Masibi.
Huddle Investments (Pty) Limited, whose shareholders are Investec Property, Standard Bank Properties and Global Capital, purchased 53 of the 180 hectares of Huddle Park from the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) in 2011.
The consortium proposed a development which includes houses, high-density developments and a shopping centre.
Friends of Huddle Park approached the public protector’s office to investigate the sale of the land because members of the public believe the sale involved corruption.
Ms Masibi previously told the EXPRESS an investigator contacted SAPVP and they appointed an independent valuator to ascertain if the person who evaluated the property conducted himself properly.
