Botswana urged to embrace foreign investment

Motlhale said the country must look at the developed countries that have gone through economic instability and find out how they have solved the problem. “We need to find out what they have done to develop their economy”.

He said the government should look for investment outside Botswana and embrace foreigners who want to invest in Botswana as they have special skills, which can be transferred to citizens. “We should embrace foreigners, especially those with skills because they can help us develop our economy. This is done by developed countries like the United Kingdom and Canada”, said Motlhale.He argued that the government is reluctant to support private companies, especially foreigners.
