SOWA TOWN: The Botswana Chamber of Mines (BCM) CEO, Charles Siwawa has revealed that the local mining chapter will resume the scholarship programme that it used to offer to students at the Francistown College of Technical and Vocational Education (FCTVE).

Speaking to The Monitor on the sidelines of the BCM Inter-Mines First Aid Competitions that were hosted by Botash mine here on Saturday, although cagey with details, Siwawa said the BCM will resume the scholarship programme in due course. Asked when the programme will be resumed, he did not give the details save to say that the scholarship will be back with a bang.

“For now, I will not give you the full details of when we will resume our scholarship programme but just know that the resumption of the programme will resume in due course. We are currently working on the question you have asked,” an optimistic Siwawa said.
