Leather Park attracts eight investors

Delivering the 2016 State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, President Ian Khama said under the leather sub-sector, the establishment of a special purpose vehicle that will own, build, operate and maintain the leather industry park is progressing.

“Eight companies responded to an expression of interest which was published in June 2016 to identify potential investors. Once complete the leather park industry is expected to create direct employment of 6,000 to 8,000 jobs,” he said.
