Botswana advances Leather Park plans

02/11/2021

Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Lobatse Water Supply Master Plan (LWSMP1), which will be vital in setting up the planned Lobatse Leather Park.

The Leather Park is expected to provide up to 7,000 jobs, according to local press.

It will be supported by state-owned cattle enterprise Botswana Meat Commission, and will include a number of tanneries and a shared effluent treatment plant.

The Lobatse Water Supply project was granted to China State Construction and Engineering Corporation/Van and Truck Hire Joint Venture.
 

The pipeline will transport 63 million litres of water each day, compared with the current 14 million litres, to Lobatse, Borolong and the adjacent communities.
