A letter to Oteng Keabetswe – BDC MD 

Mr. Keabetswe. Congratulations on your recent appointment as caretaker Managing Director of the Botswana Development Corporation (BDC). Your extensive experience in finance, debt financing, and pan-African investments positions you as a formidable leader to navigate BDC through these challenging times. As the new government continues to shape it human resource, I, like many Batswana, am watching with keen interest as leaders like you take the helm of critical state institutions. This letter, therefore, is not just a commendation, but a clarion call to transform BDC into the unequivocal catalyst for Botswana’s next growth phase—a diversified, resilient economy that breaks free from our diamond dependency, which has been both a blessing and a curse.
