The legal identity and ownership of the Thusong Service Centre and TeleCentre were unclear. The Manager reported that the Centre was owned by North West Development Corporation (NWDC), which appears to be non-existent and is under the auspices of Dr JS Maroka Municipality. There is no tangible evidence with regard to ownership of the Centre as the Deeds Office printout allegedly presents discrepancies. Furthermore, GCIS lease agreement expired in 2005/6 financial year and it reported that they owe rental in access of R500 000.
