Puleng Monyake, a security contractor who deployed her employees to the now-defunct Montrose Mega City project, says controversial businessman Sam Mhlaba, who also worked on the project, owes her more than R5 million.

The project was launched in 2017 by Deputy President Paul Mashatile, during the time that he was the Gauteng human settlements MEC.

Monyake, 49, opened up about her battle to find funds to pay 28 security guards she employed through her company, Madi Ke Ao Trading.
