In 2023, the IT Department proposed establishing Balochistan’s first Technology Park. The plan was to acquire land in a prime area of Quetta, construct a new facility, and equip it with modern technology infrastructure. The estimated cost was around Rs 3 billion, with a completion timeline of nearly four years. It was an ambitious proposal, but also a costly and time consuming one. In the technology sector, such delays often mean missed opportunities. During a visit to Quetta, the then Chief Secretary, Shakeel Qadir, raised a critical question. Why should the government spend billions on new land and construction when several government buildings in the city had been lying abandoned for years? He directed that an existing facility be identified and that the Technology Park be developed through a public private partnership to save public money and deliver results quickly. This idea gained real momentum when it reached the Chief Minister. The Commissioner Quetta and the CEO of the Balochistan Public Private Partnership Authority carried out detailed work on this direction. Multiple buildings were surveyed, consultants were engaged, and expert opinions were obtained. Structural integrity, legal status, and technical feasibility were all examined carefully before a viable option was finalized. When the proposal was presented to the Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, he did more than simply approve it. He personally convened all stakeholders, resolved coordination issues, and gave clear ownership to the project. Most importantly, he set a firm and ambitious timeline to establish Balochistan’s first Technology Park within two months. That decisive leadership changed the pace of execution. There were reservations from the IT Department and hesitation from the Social Welfare Department to part with a building that had remained unused for nearly a decade. Institutional concerns and procedural delays could easily have stalled the project. The Chief Minister’s continued support and close follow up proved crucial. With guidance from the Chief Secretary and backing from the Chief Minister Chief Minister's Office Balochistan, the team worked through each obstacle, aligned departments, and kept the focus on the broader public interest. The emphasis remained on reviving a neglected public asset rather than preserving departmental control. Instead of spending Rs 3 billion and waiting four years, the government Govt. of Balochistan repurposed an abandoned building through a public private partnership and delivered the project in record time. The Technology Park was inaugurated on 14th August by Sarfraz Bugti Today, it hosts 13 technology companies and provides employment to more than 100 people. These are real jobs and real opportunities. For young professionals in Quetta, it has become a clear signal that the provincial leadership is serious about creating space for technology, innovation, and private sector growth within Balochistan. This is what saving Rs 3 billion truly represents. It reflects a governance approach driven by leadership, clarity, and execution. With the Chief Minister’s vision and ownership, and sustained effort by the administrative team, an abandoned building was transformed into a functioning institution that is beginning to reshape the technology landscape of Balochistan.

Yes, indeed, this is lawlessness by any standard. Even by banana republic standards, this is still lawlessness. Your country has a constitution, it has a government, it has a police service, and it has a ruling party. I am sure you can see that some of the people there are actually wearing ruling party T-shirts. It is lawless regardless of whoever does it. It is an embarrassment to South Africa as a country, what you are doing and what you are encouraging people to do. Your country has an immigration service. If people are in your country illegally, they should be arrested and deported through lawful processes. You do not go around destroying property, tearing down markets, and attacking people. It is illegal regardless of whoever does it. It is not illegal because I have said so. It is illegal because the laws of your country make it so. This is vigilantism, pure and simple, and it is tainting the reputation of South Africa, not only across Africa but across the world. If you have got satellite television in your home, you can see that these actions are being reported everywhere. It is not good for your country. This kind of barbarism undermines the rule of law, fuels division, and damages South Africa’s standing as a constitutional democracy. It is the actions of a few that are tainting the reputation of many. The average South African is not mindless like this. They respect the law, and they respect the fact that among them, in their communities, there are people from other countries. If those people are in the country illegally, you report them and the law takes its course through proper processes of arrest and deportation. You do not descend into mob justice, lawlessness, and destruction. That is not who South Africans are, and it must not be normalised.
