On Tuesday 22nd April, President Advocate Duma Boko launched the Bonno Target 3000 Housing Project at Kgale View, a flagship initiative led by the Ministry of Water and Human Settlement through the Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC). Boko hailed the Target 3000 project as a major step towards the national goal of delivering 100,000 homes.
“Botswana is going to look spectacularly different. We dare not fail. This is the beginning of an ambitious project of wealth transfer, at the end of which 100 000 Batswana shall have titles to real property,” he said.
Present at the launch was Reagon Craig – Chairman of Ongos Valley, a Namibian property development company whose portfolio includes a large-scale, sustainable housing project that required delivery of 4,500 houses over the 2019 – 2023 period. However, investigations into Ongos Valley’s operations in Namibia revealed that the company had only constructed 371 housing units between 2019 – 2024, implying a 62 houses/year rate on average.
