Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi should perhaps dream that one day: "Who cares?" Our two stories – on Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi’s dreams for the future and the actual reality of failed projects across his province – sum up neatly why our country is such a mess. We talk big, but when the rubber hits the road, we just can’t do it… either through incompetence, looting or both. Lesufi dreams of a young girl from Mamelodi or Thembisa piloting a high-tech, fabulously fast express train which can get to Polokwane – 300km from Johannesburg – in just 67 minutes. The province will be a technological hub because there will be scores of smart schools where our bright young people will be given 21st-century skills.
