“The lift at Markville Flats has been removed due to its age.
“The metro is currently undergoing a tender process to procure lift specialist contractors to install new lifts at Markville Flats.

When asked about the empty lots, Gadebe says “these are also waiting to be renovated”.
“Consultants were sent to Markville Flats to conduct 3D scans of the lift shafts to ensure the walls can carry the weight of the lift,” concludes Gadebe.
