EIA delays Phikwe projects � Nzwaligwa

Speaking during a general meeting for ex BCL Mine employees, Nzwaligwa said the country is stuck because of the EIA. He cited that Selebi-Phikwe has been waiting for the establishment of a pharmaceutical company, but 15 months have passed and EIA is blamed for the delay.

He said in other countries, it takes only a week for such to be approved so that a company can set-up and said this is the reason why potential investors end up setting up elsewhere. “Do something as a nation. Talk to government because if you do not talk nothing will move for Selebi-Phikwe”.
