According to minutes of the finance committee tabled on
Wednesday at a full council meeting, the First Lady will lease the land for 10
years and pay $0,05 per square metre as well as meet other costs related to the
construction of the property.
“Council resolved that notwithstanding the council policy
recorded under item three of the minutes of the land alienation sub-committee
dated September 26, 2005 to lease such stands through tender and subject to the
provisions of section 152 of the Urban Council Act, stand 41159 STL – Belvedere
Township measuring five thousand square metres be leased to Angel of Hope
Foundation Trust for orphanage purposes for an initial period of 10 years at an
initial monthly rental of $250,” part of the minutes read.
According to the foundation’s board chairperson Molly
Dingani, they intend to build a skills centre where women and youths would
embark on sustainable projects.
Early this month, the foundation received an ambulance from
Mall Route Group.

time. Newsday
