“At Deloitte Botswana, we are committed to the power of engagement and the power of change to transform. To transform people, communities, and our economy. For us, the storm on the horizon is not a flurry of turbulence to be feared,” said Deloitte Country Managing Partner, Max Marinelli. “It is the promise of rain, of blessings, and of hope for renewed life, renewed vigour, and opportunity for growth that we as a country yearn for.

This resolute determination is only stronger, and it is our hope that platforms such as these keep that dialogue going.”
