Construction of the Highlanders Clubhouse security wall (durawall) remains at a standstill, with no visible progress despite reports that full payment allegedly believed to be close to US$130 000 was made to the contractors months ago.
This publication understands that the construction company initially quoted US$109 000.
However, additional works reportedly pushed the total cost up to around US$130 000.
At present, a small section has been completed, while the rest of the perimeter remains open.
The facility remains exposed, potentially creating a haven for trespassers or a hotspot for drug abuse.
It is understood that rains previously disrupted construction progress.
