Management at Afena Capital Botswana are taking over total control of the firm, in a deal seen as a triumph for citizen empowerment in an industry dominated by foreign controlled firms.

 In a transaction that is still before regulators, the local management team is acquiring an additional 51% in the Botswana firm from South African parent company, Afena Capital. “We are excited about the opportunities available for Afena Capital Botswana with these changes within our firm.

This enhances our business and achieves the desired effect of ensuring that Batswana citizens will hold majority of the proposed shareholding acquired,” said managing director Bakang Seretse.
