In May last year, an investigation by @coj_gfis and the Operation #BuyaMthetho team revealed that Waterfall Investment Company allegedly obtained water meters illegally from Johannesburg Water employee, Faisel Abrahams and used them during construction at Waterfall City. ^LK

Abrahams and his co-accused from Waterfall Investment Company,Irvine Steyn and Yvette Scheepers, were arrested last year after they illegally obtained water meters and stole water estimated to be worth around R13 million during the development of Waterfall City. LK

Instead of applying for a bulk water meter which can cost up to R140 000, Waterfall Investment Company allegedly colluded with Abrahams to obtain the meter and continue with the development. ^LK
