Page 14 of the Business Day today. Buyelwa Sonjica, minerals and energy minister is given a red light for her department taking so long in awarding mineral rights. And I quote.
Whether or not Tawana is using the threat of retrenchments as a lever, the fact is the granting of mineral rights is taking too long.
That’s what I said last night. Perhaps the government could provide tax cuts for the time that they take in awarding licences. I like the idea of tax cuts when it comes to empowerment issues.
