Sefalana opened its doors on Wednesday amid great pomp at a new store located in Molapo Crossing mall's shopping space previously occupied by Pick n Pay.

The Molapo Crossing Shopping Mall store, named Setlhoa 2 after the spacious and luxurious Setlhoa found along the A1 Highway (another of Sefalana's stores), has two exits for shoppers to access the complex from either side of its parking lot.

The Molapo store was renovated at around P16 million to offer a unique shopping experience while creating 120 new jobs for Batswana. It would seem Sefalana is not yet done with exploiting the Gaborone market, as group managing director (MD), Chandra Chauhan announced at the event that Sefalana is set to open another big store in Kgale, opposite the Engen fuel station. The Kgale plans are, however, subject to regulatory approvals.

Editor's Comment
Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. 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....
