ORAPA: Botswana women have been urged to unearth their potential although the road ahead will have stumbling blocks. Debswana Orapa/Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines’ (OLDMs) patron, Faith Motlhabani said during the commemoration of International Women’s Day that the event celebrates women and symbolises the milestones achieved in working towards gender equality over years.

Motlhabani urged women to work towards unearthing their potential in different spheres of life so that they can improve their economic status. However, she noted that the journey would be difficult as society pressures women according to cultural expectations.

She added that a panel of experts has demonstrated that it is possible to grow as individuals in the corporate field, entrepreneurship, social issues, etiquette, personal branding and spirituality.
