BHC to focus on flats, not single house units

All government departments including the Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) are now expected to build flats instead of single house units as the country has an acute shortage of land.

Molefhi said that to deal with the problem of land, Land Boards would continue to reduce plot sizes.
