Brite Star dims Phikwe hopes

The recent SPEDU stakeholders’ forum heard things delayed in a frustrating way. Chief executive officer, Mokubung Mokubung explained that they had expected the company to start in three months after availing some funds, but they have delayed too much.

“Brite Star was very exciting to us. We anticipated the project to be of a high impact with downstream activities. We have always tried to push them to start up, but we have no powers to do anything other than that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) we signed with them is not a contract. We therefore cannot take any action, but to just have to wait for them,” he said.
