Metropolitan must address citizen concerns

In business terms, 10 years is not a short time. In the decade that Metropolitan has existed in Botswana, it is possible that the business could have folded as many others have. For the company to be here after 10 years says a lot about its resilience and commitment to Botswana. When it started, it is reported that it had only invested P44 million but it is now worth about a billion. As President Festu Mogae has commented, this is a phenomenal growth.

Metropolitan Botswana has without doubt added a lot of value to the local economy. Many Batswana have benefited a lot from a wide range of insurance policies that the company has introduced into the market. While the company is not the first to enter the market, it has definitely helped to bring competition and choice.
