KAZUNGULA: A former mechanical and electrical technician at Debswana’s Orapa mine, Motlhagodi Lamont and his partner Tennyboy Matebesi have taken advantage of initiatives offered by Citizen Entrepreneurial Development Agency (CEDA) in order to boost their water purification business to maximise profitability.

The duo operates Chobe Pure, trading as Eden Drops, which is well known for its services and products in the Chobe District and other regions across the country.

Lamont told a group of journalist during a recent media tour organised by CEDA that their business started in 2011 and back then they only operated using small purifying machines.
