BCC demands stake in Phikwe interventions

Speaking at a three-day Botswana’s 4th Alternative Mining Forum in Selebi-Phikwe, the BCC’s vice president Rev Gabriel Tsuaneng said the church is a critical stakeholder to be consulted in decision making.

He added that the government has sidelined BCC in some of the interventions in the copper and nickel town, that include counseling of ex miners and the recently launched Economic Revitalisation Strategy that is expected to create over 6,000 jobs.
