The R11 billion Montrose Mega City project in Randfontein, which was launched in 2017 to great fanfare by then-Gauteng premier David Makhura and then-human settlements MEC Paul Mashatile, was meant to include a sanctuary for 174 military veterans.
However, seven years later, the units, which were never completed, have been vandalised and illegally occupied.
Only a few veterans were given incomplete houses - and the government apparently only handed those properties over to prevent further vandalism.
