. In the Northern Cape, a joint venture was appointed to construct the New Mental Health Facility in Kimberley at a contract amount of R290,5 million, with a commencement date of 13 September 2005 and a completion date of 14 December 2007. An extension of 131 days was granted and the completion date was amended to 20 March 2008, but the hospital was still not complete as at December 2009 when the contract with the joint venture was terminated. A site visit in November 2010 confirmed that work on the project had not resumed. The total amount spent before the contract was terminated was R354,4 million. It was estimated that another R53 million will be needed to complete the project.
