StanChart to sponsor banking, financial studies

The bank said they took the initiative because locals have been found wanting in the sector. In addition, the move supports the government’s vision of promoting skills readiness and availability.

At a press briefing yesterday in Gaborone, Standard Bank chief executive officer, Moatlhodi Lekaukau said skills inadequacy in the finance sector has rendered the country unattractive to do business.  “For some years the majority shareholders of the group have been brainstorming on how to achieve broader ownership of the company,” he said.
