Neither Serowe nor Palapye were mentioned by the taskforce as suitable locations, but Nkate said the decision to locate the university in one of these areas was based on the fact that they both had good rail, road and water networks.
The education minister has rejected their call, saying Selebi-Phikwe was not the only area in the country in need of development.
