The planned Fetakgomo Tubatse industrial park will soon come into fruition if the promises by the Limpopo government are anything to go by.Rogers Monama and Mayor of Sekhukhune Municipality Minah Bahula met on Thursday to evaluate progress made regarding license application for the R56 billion project.

“We have commenced with the technical and financial assessment impact of the zone. Currently, there are 37 companies on the investment pipeline with a combined investment value of R56.6 billion. “We have since submitted a business case to Minister Patel so that when ready, this zone can become a fully-fledged special economic zone,” Monama said.But Clement Phokane, a resident of Steelpoort, outside Burgersfort rubbished Monama’s enthusiasm, saying government has been “sounding like a broken record” about the project.“We are tired of this hearing those words because nothing comes out of it, except for the empty promises from our leaders.

“We have minerals in this region with over 28 mining companies. Most of Sekhukhune youngsters are currently unemployed.“These efforts are commendable and push us further to realise the full potential of initiatives that aim to foster job creation, economic prosperity, and improve the quality of life for Sekhukhune.
