Olopeng calls for youth support towards entrepreneurship

Commenting on President Ian Khama’s State Of The National Address (SONA) yesterday, Olopeng said that the country’s import bill is very high. He said one way to tackle the problem is to encourage Batswana to establish their own businesses and provide products that the country is currently spending millions importing from other countries.

He said that the country cannot diversify and build a strong economy by relying on imports, hence the need to encourage locals to take advantage of initiatives like Economic Development Drive (EDD) to establish their own businesses.
