Bonno Target 3000 Kgale project collapses :: Mmegi Online

Barely six months after President Duma Gideon Boko stood before cameras with shovels in Kgale View to launch what he called “a new era for Botswana’s housing landscape,” the government’s flagship Bonno National Housing Scheme is floundering, Mmegi investigations can reveal.

The Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC) has confirmed that its much-touted partnership for the first phase of the programme Ongos Valley has collapsed, throwing into question the fate of one of the new administration’s biggest promises.

In a written response to Mmegi dated October 14, BHC admitted that its agreement with an investor under the Bonno initiative has since lapsed, effectively stalling progress on the development. The Corporation said it had “engaged an investor to explore a potential partnership for the development of a strategic project at Kgale View,” but later “found it prudent not to proceed with the proposed partnership.”
