Discovery Metal benefits Batswana - Minister

The company is anticipating the employment of some 400 personnel on its construction project and another 250 to run its operations. Kedikilwe said this will have a positive impact on Botswana's economy and the lives of the people. He was speaking at the opening of Discovery Metal offices at Gaborone International Commerce Park on Monday.

He said the employment capacity of the company is remarkable considering that currently it employs 18 people, all of them Batswana. "It is evident that the company embraces both enlightened self-interest and government's policy thrust with respect to good employment practices and labour relations based on mutual respect and meaningful consultations," said Kedikilwe.
