Alternative Mining Forum Convenes

Officially opening Botswana’s fifth Alternative Mining Forum in Palapye yesterday, Beleme said BCC is committed to supporting those that work towards achieving equal and fair sharing of resources such as minerals, water, and land.  He also said BCC will strive to promote justice and improve the wellbeing and peaceful co-existence of Batswana, especially those that are residing in the areas surrounded by mining activities. Beleme, who is also the Bishop of Anglican Church in Botswana, shared that since BCC was conceived in 1966, it continues to take its rightful place in the development agenda in Botswana. 

BCC in collaboration with its regional partners, has over the past five years been working on issues of extractive industries dubbed Alternative Mining Forums.
