Ramathuba: Infrastructure backlog causing loss of confidence
Limpopo Premier Phophi Ramathuba have warned that residents are starting to lose confidence in her administration due to its inability to clear the infrastructure backlog.
Ramathuba made the remarks at a provincial infrastructure workshop in Polokwane on Wednesday.
She told delegates that she can no longer use the length of her tenure as an excuse when she receives complaints about incomplete infrastructure projects, such as roads, hospitals, and schools.
Ramathuba warned those responsible for infrastructure development to roll up their sleeves or face being shown the door.
"If you are not equal to the task at hand, it is time, probably, for you to request us to shift you to where you can add much more value, because I do not believe that people can be blank in everything that they are given as a task," she says.
"Let's now focus on maximising your skills where you can be a better you."
The workshop aims to promote practical partnerships and accelerate infrastructure delivery in Limpopo.
It follows the premier’s recent visit to China's International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum and Exhibition.
