BPC and Liquid Telecom joint venture declared illegal

At a public hearing held this week at the Parliament buildings, the committee, headed by Ramotswa legislator, Samuel Rantuana, questioned the logic behind the joint venture, which allows Liquid Telecom to be granted the use of BPC’s infrastructure.

This came during the interrogation of Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) chief executive officer, Mabua Mabua who had mentioned that the state-owned power corporation has entered into a joint venture with the pan-African telecoms group, Liquid Telecom resulting in the formation of a new telecoms network provider called Liquid Telecom Botswana.
