Key projects in Lobatse, which include, the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) New Meat Value Addition and Secondary Processing Plant and the BMC Tannery Revitalisation Project are progressing well.
Touring the projects, Lobatse Member of Parliament, Mr Kamal Jacobs, appreciated that
the New Meat Value Addition and Secondary Processing Plant, which would replace the current cannery (ECCO) plant built in 1978, was well on track and had engaged locals.
The project was awarded to China Jiansu at an amount of over P218 million.
Also, he toured the Lobatse Tannery Revitalisation Project done by Colic Construction Development Company at over P212 million.
It involves refurbishment of the tannery to process hides.
Mr Jacobs said over 200 Batswana had been employed under the two projects.
