properties in furtherance of its universal access mandate. The gesture further supports

property values through refurbishment and building of new post offices nationwide. The

The Post Offices will offer the communities of Sebina and Dukwi access and convenience
to services tailored to their individual and business needs. The Sebina Post Office
upgrade and the first ever Dukwi Post Office reflect BotswanaPost’s strategic
commitment to improving its service points across the country to enhance customer and
staff experiences whilst improving property value.
The two developments include the expansion of the circulation bureau (CB), the banking
hall, offices, the installation of new air conditioning, and security enhancements to
accommodate current business needs. “Our commitment to the communities across the
country drives our business operations and as such we are indebted to BOCRA for coming
on board to aid in our quest to reach everyone.” BotswanaPost Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Cornelius Ramatlhakwane.
As part of BotswanaPost’s efforts towards local empowerment, the tenders were
