Delayed Gov’t Deal Forces HB Botswana Restructure

• Company confirms ongoing process
• No final decisions on staffing outcomes have been made
• Trade union has submitted an application for workplace recognition

HB Botswana says it has begun an internal restructuring and consultation process following delays in the implementation of a government-backed deal that underpinned its plans to create nearly 500 jobs.

The company's spokesperson told the Business Weekly & Review, saying the move to restructure was prompted by “commercial conditions affecting the business.”
