FCC to call Business Pitso

He said the council has realised it cannot just depend on the government for development, hence the need to turn to the private sector to help drive the process.If we depend only on the government for the development of Francistown, we will not prevail because the government has even explained that for the rest of the NDP10, there will be no new projects because there are no funds.In the meantime as Francistown City Council (FCC), we need to come up with initiatives that will help grow Francistown," he explained. 

The mayor said that at the proposed Business Pitso to be held before end of the year, he will propose a number of ideas to the private sector."The aim is to invite high profile local businesses and propose to them the partnership for the development of Francistown as dependence on the government will not take us anywhere," he said. He said the council would propose beneficiation to the mining companies surrounding Francistown.
