The Country Deserves a Lot Better

But first, in an attempt to lighten the current glooms, let me refer to the government’s recent Facebook photos of the Kazangula Bridge. Wow. This bridge is really something. Pulling off this spectacular project must make many of us wonder why we are making such an awful mess of so much else?

The latest being more millions down the drain with the BDF’s purchase of 2nd hand, worthless Land Rovers. (Guardian 30.8) But it’s not just the bridge itself that is so impressive. It is the character who is in charge of its construction, one Kobamelo Kgoboko, B.Sc (Hons.), M.eng Sc., MIE Aust., CP Eng., MBIE for a start, Swaneng graduate and today variously described as Managing Director or Kazangula Bridge Consultant or, in my terms, top dog of that marvellous project.
