Frustrated social media users are also curious about why the upgrades were so costly

@clarkieAAA believes:

"Please don’t be deceived. There is more than double of what you see below grounds connected with tunnels and bunkers…"

@marcel__za corrected the OP's tweet:

"The upgrades were R247m, not the total cost."

@ChrisVonGeist thinks:

"I think the majority of the money went to him. There's no way he spent $15 mill on that."

@oesparadys responded with:

"I won't pay R10m for that."

@hills007 jokingly tweeted:

"Limited budget. The fire pool swallowed it all."

@R_W_Tee added:

"Actually, it cost R24m. The rest went to Dubai."

Duduzane received great support from the Newlands community. Duduzane's win of the chairperson position will help him get one step closer to being the next president of the ruling party, a position he is vying for next year at the next ANC conference, according to TimesLIVE.
