FRANCISTOWN: The director of Policy and Industry at Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZA) Lonely Mogara has said that Francistown has been allocated additional land to develop a new stateof the art inland logistics hub.

Mogara was addressing a special full council in Francistown on Wednesday. For some time there have been concerns that land allocated for the construction of the much-anticipated logistics hubs is not adequate.

Under the special economic zones, Francistown is earmarked for a mining and modern logistics hub serving the rest of Africa.
