@PrinceTumelo89 Sadly there are no guarantees but it would have been better to have the project evaluation properly done. You can't just trust that these guys will be honest when bidding. Who did the project valuation before it went out and what was their estimated operating costs?
Apparently other competitors bid at 2 bill+. It starts with the lowest bidder tender process. Who adjudicates the project before awarding. Once it starts and you give more money are you willing to stop and give the next company the right amount of money to complete it?
project started with P700million budget, at 99% complete they’ve spent P3.6 BILLION & are going to spend another P150m . Initially I was like every finance person involved should be fired , but the more I listened I realized the surveyors, planners & geo tech engs failed
Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.
@keem_petrus The reason I asked is that it might still cost more to come in and complete the job if it stops near completion.
A lot of mistakes were made but it's better to complete it and move.
I think it's too late at this stage to bring in another outfit.
We’re going to hear about the project issues of that Kanye Water project ga kae without any action being taken?? Actually, all the misdoings of the past gov, ra go di opela hela, yadayada and no action??
I know many Arsenal fans will again disagree with me but every time I see something with our players I haven't been seeing the whole season I will always talk about it.
In this photo Noni Madueke has received the ball in a position you will not see him or any other winger for Arsenal receive it from.
In this situation Harry Kane has dropped to collect the ball and Noni Madueke became a striker whereby Harry Kane got the ball and passed it to him.
This is something Harry Kane has been doing for Luis Diaz and Michael Olise at Bayern Munich. In this situation at Arsenal you will see Noni Madueke close to Jurrien Timber and not upfront.
When I tell you we have good players but it's the tactics and system which is limiting them you are always arguing with me. I want you to watch very closely if Noni Madueke is defending up to England's 18 yard box.
With Mikel Arteta's tactics I believe there's no attacker who will come in and perform the way the fans expect him to do. I know he won the league with those tactics but remember we also lost the champions League because of them.
Letsile Tebogo 🇧🇼 lineup today at the LA Grand Prix 100m...He will go against 6 Americans including Kenny Bednarek, Christian Coleman, Trayvon Brownell & Abdul Rasheed Saminu of Ghana 🇬🇭 Let's go School-boy

Domestic dominance over the champions league if we can make two finals in that period.
That would be terrifying enough and for us to focus on the UCL after.
If the UCL is in the cards I would not complain.
I haven't put on a watch in 2 years after my favourite one died. My wife got me a nice one and I'm easing myself into it.
Might sleep with it on just to fast track the process 😅
For 22 years the old Arsenal artillery has laid silent and dormant, gathering dust, gathering doubts but this season has lit the fuse. After 22 years of gloom it’s about to go boom! The Arsenal cannon fires again. Arsenal roar, like it’s 2004!
Conor McNamara, thanks for this!!
The said retrenchment ya Choppies is an economic indicator, I don’t really think it has much to do with BWP4000.00. The reality is, the pula has lost its purchasing power, households aren’t buying as they used to
I'm eager to see which direction Botswana takes in this age of acce and scrutiny. Is it a lack of vision or a lack of support from the masses.
Where do we stand in these dark times.
What addiction levels am I going through?
I passed out while scrolling TikTok and went straight into a dream of scrolling TikTok and woke up 6 hours later wondering if I ever fell asleep.
I think I'm trending dangerous waters here.
