CEDA Approaches Govt To Support Citizen Businesses

"We have realised that even when we give loans, 30 percent of the project would have problems, so we are trying to work through them and ask the government for support," he said at the third customer service seminar CEDA hosted in Francistown on Thursday. 
He stated that he went to government after CEDA realised that Botswana was losing in trade with South Africa. "We buy goods worth P27.1 billion from South Africa and we sell goods worth P6.3 billion which means we have to close that P20 billion gap," he explained.

He said that CEDA is working on the problem on behalf of their clients as a way of strengthening its relationship with them.
