Brite Star dims Phikwe hopes :: Mmegi Online

SELEBI-PHIKWE: The excitement at which Selebi-Phikwe was eagerly waiting for the global aviation group Brite Star to set up and create 3,000 jobs is slowly dying as even to date there are no physical signs for the project.

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.
