Tailors Suffer As LEA Takes Over BEDU :: Mmegi Online

School uniform tailors in Gaborone have complained that the takeover of the Botswana Enterprises Development Union (BEDU) by the Local Enterprises Authority (LEA) in 2007, has disadvantaged their businesses as they are now without a market place.

They claim that with BEDU, their businesses flourished and they were hopeful that they could grow into nationally recognised tailors.

Kefilwe Molale, one of the tailors, told Monitor that they were comfortable when they had stalls inside BEDU and their customers knew exactly where to find them. She complained that since they started selling on the streets life has been difficult as they have to withstand harsh weather conditions on a daily basis. "We are here whether it is raining, windy, cold or hot. We are suffering and it is not good for our business," she complained.
