It is indisputable that a noble idea is most likely to founder if it is badly executed.
A case in point is the Northern Cape government's project to erect a statue in honour of late ANC stalwart Sol Plaatje, which has sparked a bitter row between his family and the authorities.
As a result the Plaatje family dissociated itself from the plans to unveil the statue on Heritage Day this week, forcing the provincial government to cancel the commemorative event.
