SA to launch R25m satellite, weather permitting

It's a pity the government drove the company that built the satellite, Sunspace, to the point where they cannot pay the gifted engineers that work there, and will probably have to close down soon. All because the Department of Science and Technology (more specifically Pontso Maruping) refused to pay the money they legitimately owe for the work done for them. I wonder who in government has the expertise to prepare the satellite for the launch campaign, seeing that Sunspace will probably go under before March. There is no way the satellite can be launched without Sunspace's participation, but no-one in goverment seems to realize that. They don't care about the black engineers that Sunspace trained and employ, and that they will now be just another statistic of government ineptitude. And then government complains that there is a shortage of engineers and training for engineers. They are now responsible for more than 50 engineers losing their livelyhood. Shame on you DST, shame on you. This story must come out, don't let this be just another coverup.
