Barclays to open more branches

The bank's head of Small, Medium Enterprises Sabrina Mahlalela explained that the move is meant to spread Barclays' footprints in Botswana. She was speaking at a Barclays tax seminar in Palapye this week.

She said tax is a generator of government revenue and that is why they want to give their customers an understanding of tax issues. She added that the seminars give business customers a full understanding of what compliance or none compliance means to their business. The seminar focused on VAT.
