‘If truth be told, some of the people in the private sector do mean well for communities and they actually can feel frustrated when government is trying to do their own thing but, because they have business relationships with them, they don’t want to push too hard.’
Makoloo comments, ‘The starting point of infrastructure is to underscore the value of philanthropy. Yesterday we had the conversation about whether philanthropy is a friend or a foe of social justice.’
