Selebi-Phikwe fails to tap into World Cup

Contrary to expectations, Selebi-Phikwe did not implement any of the recommendations that were made by the delegation the council sent to South Africa in July 2006 to attend a seminar on opportunities in the FIFA World Cup.

The council failed to upgrade the stadium, the airstrip and roads linking Selebi-Phikwe with South Africa's Limpopo Province by 2008 as was recommended. So far, nothing has happened due to budgetary constraints that saw some of the projects earmarked for NDP 9 being postponed.
