Stop excuses and start delivering

Gaolathe was reportedly taken to task in the copper mining town of Selebi-Phikwe over the long overdue construction of the College of Applied Arts and Technology. Its construction was meant to have started two years ago! Selebi-Phikwe councillors appropriately addressed Gaolathe on the issue, for he is the right person to proffer an explanation.

The minister should have gone beyond promises of speeding up the college's construction. Gaolathe, as one of the country's longest serving ministers of finance and development planning must have known the exact reasons for that delay. In fact he has long been associated with that ministry before as its Permanent Secretary.
