F/town won�t duplicate Phikwe�s diversification plan � Kgalajwe

SELEBI-PHIKWE: The Mayor of Francistown, James Kgalajwe has said that though his town successfully lobbied government to declare it a special zone, they will not duplicate Selebi-Phikwe’s economic diversification strategy.

He said instead there would have to be mutual support from the two municipalities.

Speaking during the event celebrating Selebi-Phikwe Primary School results recently, Kgalajwe said, “Selebi-Phikwe is our partner in development, not a competitor.  We want to set up a unit like SPEDU and we have engaged them to assist us to set up a Secretariat.”  Kgalajwe added that Francistown has more than 10 mines around it and the plan is to have ore produced by those mines to be processed in Selebi-Phikwe.
