Diversifying S/Phikwe's economy is

SELEBI-PHIKWE: For years now, the government has been trying to diversify the economy from mining as the resources will certainly run out some day.But with little success being registered in its endeavours, it is not a secret that the lives of hundreds of thousands  of people across the country are increasingly threatened by the depletion of mineral resources, including the 50,000 population  of Selebi-Phikwe.

With approximately 10 more years left of BCL Mine's lifespan, Government last year appointed long-time civil servant, Kago Moshashane, to coordinate and fast track the diversification of the economy of this copper-nickel mining town.
