Fresh bid to privatise Gaborone Game Reserve

This morning, the ministry’s permanent secretary, Oduetse Koboto told the Parliament Committee on Government Assurances that the process was at an advanced stage.

The 550 hectare reserve on the city’s eastern limits is popular with residents and visitors alike, at one point being ranked the third-most visited reserve in the country. However, in 2010, the ministry announced plans to wean off the reserve, together with others around the country, in order to enhance their upkeep and development.
