Rural investment strategy on the cards

The motion, moved by the Member for Parliament (MP) for Shoshong, Phillip Makgalemele noted that rural areas must compete for investors.

“I am much aware that rural areas do not exist in isolation, but they are an integral part of Botswana. Therefore just like cities, towns and urban areas of this country they must compete for investors,” said Makgalemele. He said the newly reconstituted Rural Development Council (RDC) advocates for a strong focus on rural development communities to a level where they become resilient and enterprising.
