Speaking that the Mindset Change seminar organised for BEMA members, Chief of Staff in the Office of the President, Mr Boyce Sebetlela said Vision 2036 was about growing Botswana\u2019s manufacturing base alongside the country\u2019s exports.<\/p>\n

He said it would be of paramount importance to ensure that the minerals sector, which accounts for about 70 per cent of the country\u2019s exports, is reduced and replaced by other products.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose other things clearly must come from BEMA, because in your name there are words exporters and manufacturing, so clearly if there is an organisation that we have to be engaging and facilitating more and making them part of NDP 12 discussions it\u2019s BEMA,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Sebetlela urged BEMA to be vocal about what should happen in NDP12 regarding manufacturing and export promotion.<\/p>\n

For his part, BEMA president, Mr Rajiva Chandra encouraged the association members to accept change as it was the only thing that would help them all to grow.<\/p>\n
