LETLHAKANE: The Orapa, Letlhakane, and Damtshaa Mines (OLDM) General Manager, Mogakolodi Maoketsa, said that over the past five years, Debswana's Citizen Economic Empowerment Programme (CEEP) played a vital role in supporting citizen-owned businesses and ensuring their participation in the Debswana procurement value chain.

Speaking whilst at the first-ever Boteti Manufacturing Expo, Maoketsa said that supporting citizen-owned businesses is evidenced by the achievement of a P23 billion citizen spend and 18,000 jobs supported, milestones delivered in their CEEP five-year strategy, which ended in 2024.

He further noted that they had learned great lessons in the past strategy window, and these learnings shaped their thinking and actions going forward.
