UN-SERVICED LAND HAMPERS INVESTMENT IN FRANCISTOWN

Monday, February 17, 2014

FRANCISTOWN: The mayor of the City of Francistown (FCC), James Kgalajwe has lamented the lack of serviced land in Francistown and said it was a hindrance to foreign direct investment, which the city direly needs.

In an interview with The Monitor, Kgalajwe said the city has abundant land, which however is un-serviced.

Apparently, potential investors have identified lack of serviced land as their stumbling block in their quest to put up companies in Botswana, Francistown included.
