Task Force to Regulate Sale of BCL Houses

Botswana Establishes Task Force for BCL Mine Housing Sales

Botswana’s government is forming a specialized task force to manage the sale of residential properties formerly owned by BCL Mine. This initiative aims to address the complexities surrounding these transactions and ensure a fair process for all involved parties.

Ensuring Transparent Transactions

The Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Kefentse Mzwinila, announced the task force’s mandate during a land allocation ceremony in Selebi Phikwe. The primary goal is to ensure transparency throughout the sales process. This includes establishing clear guidelines and procedures for both sellers and buyers.

Supporting Former Employees and Buyers

This new body will streamline the transaction process, safeguarding the interests of former BCL Mine employees who own these properties. Furthermore, it will protect prospective buyers, ensuring they engage in legitimate and fair transactions for the homes.

Government officials have emphasized the importance of a well-regulated framework to prevent exploitation and facilitate orderly property transfers in the wake of BCL Mine’s closure. The task force is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing the housing market in the affected areas and providing clarity to residents.
