This process will determine how many people paid for the stands they won in last Wednesday’s raffle.
Municipal spokesperson Lerato Kgomo told the Middelburg Observer today that the audit will clarify how many stands are remaining, if any.
Residents on the waiting list will be contacted by the municipality if there are any unsold stands.
This process could end by Friday.
