Molake, who was speaking during a BNPC business seminar held here recently, said Palapye, with its vibrant activities, infrastructure and resources is the next game-changer of the country’s economy.

“With so much going on here, Palapye is likely to play a pivotal role in the economy of Botswana, but that can only happen with the right skills and good ideas to call in investors and it can also be a commercial centre for the country, just like Dubai. I therefore urge the business community here to come up with a vision similar to Francistown’s Vision 2022,” he said.
