Sebetlela appointed BPC chairperson

Also appointed to the board is Professor Baakile Motshegwa of the University of Botswana, Chris Blanchart from Debswana, and M. Setlhare an internal auditor at Bamangwato Concessions Limited (BCL).

Sebetlela would not discuss the development yesterday referring our enquiries to the BPC communications office. “I think it would be unfair for me, as an external party, to make any statement at this point before BPC has made any public statement. It would be fair for you to contact the BPC communications office,” he said. Efforts to speak to the other new appointees proved futile at press time. Our sources have revealed that the board will meet tomorrow.
