Newly elected chairman of the Association of Botswana Nightclubs and Bars (ABONIC), Gilbert Seagile, has placed the protection of citizen-owned businesses and employees at the centre of his ambitious six-month roadmap aimed at transforming the country’s nightlife industry.

Outlining his roadmap following his election, Seagile stated that his vision is focused on building a strong, united, compliant and economically impactful nightclub and bar sector that contributes meaningfully to Botswana’s development agenda.

At the heart of his plan is the promotion of citizen participation and ownership in the industry, while also advocating for transparency and compliance with business operations. He said ABONIC will actively discourage fronting arrangements but support measures that safeguard opportunities for Batswana entrepreneurs in line with national laws and policies.
