BDC to Revive Defunct Palapye Glass Project

The Botswana Development Corporation Limited will revive the Palapye Glass Project within the next two to three months. This was confirmed by BDC Managing Director Oteng Keabetswe before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Statutory Bodies and State Enterprises today.

The project, a joint venture between BDC and Shanghai Fengyue, was launched in 2007. It was abandoned in 2011 without producing a single sheet of glass and was later liquidated in 2013, at a loss of P380 Million, unacceptable negligence with State Resources which won't be accepted under the UDC Administration.
