With a mandate to equip youth and the general public with the importance of being financially literate, Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) CEO, Thapelo Tsheole said that the BSE annual Senior Secondary School Finance & Investment Competition is scheduled for August 17, 2019.

To be held under the theme, Importance of a Financial-Literate Botswana, Tsheole pointed out that it will be a ceremony celebrating excellence, diligence and commitment through their annual youth-focused flagship initiative.

Speaking during the official August 2019 opening bell ceremony, he stated that it does not only give him great pleasure to not only recognise the hard-work and achievements of last year’s winners, but to also shed light on the importance of promoting financial education in the society, especially at grass-root level.

Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
