PPC to expand Botswana Business

PPC told Engineering News on Tuesday that its aggregates unit had moved its semi-mobile crushing plant from a quarry in Mooiplaas in South Africa's Gauteng Province to the Kgale Quarry near Gaborone, allowing it to increase its production from 500, 000 tonnes per year to 620, 000 tonnes per year of aggregate products, lifting capacity by 24 percent.

"Gaborone is busy with major infrastructural developments; the improvement of the Sir Seretse Khama airport, the Tlokweng border road, the Lobatse road and various other SADC building developments," said PPC executive for aggregates, Riaan Redelinghuys.
