Residents express doubts over second university

The coordinator of Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), Badumetse Hubona, told residents of Palapye yesterday that her team is on course to complete the project by 2009 as scheduled.

"There is a lot of interest in this project and we all want to see this university open its doors to our children in 2009. We believe with your support we can deliver on this," she told a meeting at the Palapye main Kgotla. She said that soon, the coordinating office is moving to Palapye. She briefed residents on various issues related to the project, including compensation of masimo owners whose plots have been acquired to build the university. The institution will be located in Palapye.

While Hubona is optimistic that the project would be completed on schedule, there are doubts among residents whether this would be possible. Perhaps Kgosi Klaas Motshidisi, who served the gathering as the director of ceremonies, was speaking for many when he cautioned the coordinators that they should ensure that they do not engage companies that are known to be perennial defaulters in project completion. "Lo seka la ya go re tseela e ngwe e e palelwang ke go hetsa tsela."
