otswana’s textile and apparel industry is on the rise, thanks to interventions such as Debswana’s Textile Accelerator Programme and restrictions on importation of school uniforms.

The president Botswana Textiles and Clothing Association (BTCA), Banusi Mbaakanyi, told The Business Weekly & Review that recently the industry has been undergoing stimulation. Even so, the rise of the industry faces challenges of shortage of skilled labour that is made worse by lack of a database at a crucial time of its rebirth.

“We are currently seeing a resurgence of the industry in a mushrooming of garment factories,” Mbaakanyi said in an interview.

Mbaakanyi said the recent developments have given the industry a renewed hope not only to produce for the local market but to export its products as well.
