Pule Funeral (Pty) Ltd, a renowned 100 percent citizen-owned company, announced its strategic roadmap towards listing on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), positioning itself as a compelling investment opportunity.
With an illustrious legacy spanning over four decades, Pule Funeral Group has emerged as a leading progressive funeral services provider in Botswana.

Empowering growth through Tshipidi Mentorship Programme
As an emblem of their commitment to relentless improvement, Pule Funeral Group’s directors have earned a coveted spot in the esteemed Tshipidi Mentorship Programme (TMP), conducted under the aegis of the Botswana Stock Exchange.
The TMP, which is a comprehensive and interactive programme, equips potential issuers with the practical expertise and insights essential for positioning their companies for a successful listing on the BSE. By facilitating direct interactions with experts from the listing ecosystem, investors and leaders of already listed companies, the TMP empowers participants like Pule Funeral Group to navigate the IPO process strategically.
Operational expansion
Thabo Majola, the Executive Chairman of Pule Funeral Group, expressed his ardent enthusiasm for the TMP. He underscored the profound significance of this opportunity, emphasising that the programme enables Pule Funeral Group to embark on a journey of corporatisation and acclimatisation.
By gaining access to equity finance, the company can execute its strategic vision of operational expansion, thereby offering enhanced funeral services to the people of Botswana. Furthermore, the TMP instils robust governance structures and empowers the team with the ability to articulate a comprehensive business strategy, thus ensuring sustainable growth and enduring success.
Exceptional trajectory of growth
Pule Funeral Group envisions an exceptional trajectory of growth in the forthcoming years, culminating in its highly anticipated listing on the Botswana Stock Exchange.
Targeting a listing timeframe within the next 2 to 5 years, with the ambitious goal year of 2026, this strategic move aims to diversify the company’s shareholder base, augment public awareness, and create an enticing investment proposition. The funds raised through the listing will serve as the catalyst for supporting Pule Funeral Group’s ambitious expansion plans, further strengthening its market presence, and ultimately delivering exceptional services to the communities of Botswana.
A National Asset: Shared Prosperity for Batswana
As a testament to their esteemed legacy, Pule Funeral Group is more than just a business; it stands as a national asset. Founded by a Motswana entrepreneur and persevering through challenging times, the company holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Botswana. Their commitment to inclusive economic prosperity and shared success underscores their deep-rooted belief in empowering Batswana to participate actively in the growth journey of Pule Funeral Group. Listing on the BSE will open new horizons, inviting all to be a part of this remarkable story of growth and prosperity.
