Plaatjan-Phikwe road project takes shape

The project went out to tender earlier this year, with interest received from several bidders. However, Mmegi is informed that questions have been raised about the costing of the project, particularly when alternatives are available.

“The quote of P300 million for a 30-kilometre project is just too excessive to justify at this point,” sources told Mmegi. “The BDF has indicated its ability to undertake the project, and farmers have also committed to providing access, aggregates, and any other support required to make the project a success,” added the source.
