Mathabatha is not the right man to address Human Rights Day

Limpopo premier Stan Mathabatha has allegedly ditched the protracted R4.5 billionMathabatha said this during an SABC television interview on Tuesday following his delivery of the State of the Province Address last month.Mathabatha, who will be retiring from domestic politics and government work after the 29 May national and provincial elections, painted a glittering picture of how he changed the Limpopo provincial administration since he was head-hunted by former President Jacob Zuma in 2013.

“We were told that 33 of the villages would be getting water in a period of two months,” he said, responding to a question on how many of the intended 55 villages were currently getting fresh water from the project. “How ironic is that Mathabatha will be addressing a human rights day rally in Fetakgomo Tubatse on Thursday when he is in fact the chief protagonist of human rights abuse in Limpopo,” said Mogotji.

“Some schools in Limpopo are still using pit toilets. What happened to the right to adequate sanitation,” he asked.In response, Limpopo provincial government spokesperson, Ndavhe Ramakuela said Premier Mathabatha certainly has more right to speak about Human Rights due to his actions than merely speaking from benches.
