PARTNERSHIPS THAT PROTECT AND UPLIFT: JWANENG MINE AND BUSINESS PARTNERS STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY SAFETY AND WELLBEING
Jwaneng Mine, together with its valued business partners, continues to demonstrate that mining is about more than extracting diamonds. It is about building safer, stronger and more resilient communities. Through collaborative initiatives focused on security, infrastructure and social upliftment, these partnerships are delivering meaningful impact in Lefhoko and Mahotshwane villages, reinforcing a shared commitment to community wellbeing.
Restoring Dignity and Safety in Mahotshwane
Improved Security at Lefhoko Clinic
In Mahotshwane, Jwaneng Mine and JUP handed over a fully furnished two-bedroom house to support Botswana Police Service officers stationed in the village. The initiative addresses accommodation challenges, strengthens police presence, and enhances community safety, particularly in the fight against crime and Gender Based Violence. Beyond this project, the Mine has delivered multiple community interventions under the Jwaneng Underground Project, including support for education, water access, healthcare facilities and vulnerable families, reinforcing its long-term commitment to sustainable community development.
In Lefhoko village, Jwaneng Mine and Autopac Projects supported the installation of a new fence at Lefhoko Clinic, enhancing safety and security for patients and staff. Delivered through the Employee Volunteerism Programme led by the Supply Chain Management Department, the project reflects the Mine’s ongoing partnership with the community. Traditional leadership and clinic representatives expressed gratitude for the timely intervention, noting that the improved security will create a safer healthcare environment and strengthen trust between the Mine and the village.

OLDM JOINS LETLHAKANE SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR TWO-WEEK BOOT CAMP LAUNCH
Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines (OLDM) recently joined Letlhakane Senior Secondary School at the launch of a two-week boot camp aimed at addressing learner behavior, instilling discipline, and laying a strong foundation for the academic year. Held under the theme “Building a Disciplined Citizenry for a Successful Botswana,” the programme brought together traditional leaders, educators and community members to tackle social challenges affecting learners and to have a conversation towards a brighter future. In his welcome remarks, Kgosi Dira Galeragwe commended all stakeholders for attending the launch and urged parents, educators and the wider community to take an active role in disciplining children, prioritising education and shaping the future of the nation’s youth. Presenting the objectives of the boot camp, School Headmaster Mr. Batshedi Tsae outlined the programme’s focus on nurturing disciplined learners who can contribute meaningfully to Botswana’s development. He highlighted key focus areas including learner participation in school governance, education on rights, obligations and responsibilities, remedial and psychological counselling,
and the strengthening of communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. The boot camp also seeks to reduce incidents and accidents in schools while addressing critical issues such as sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy. In his keynote address, the General Manager of Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines, Mr. Mogakolodi Maoketsa, called on all stakeholders to build a better tomorrow by investing in the future of children today. He encouraged learners to do what is right and to strive to make life brilliant, emphasizing that positive change begins with an idea supported by decisive action. Maoketsa acknowledged persistent challenges such as alcohol and drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and absent parenting, noting that the boot camp provides an important platform for open dialogue and practical solutions. He further shared OLDM’s vision of seeing Boteti District schools ranked among the top 20% performing schools nationally by 2030, supported through initiatives such as the Diamond Dreams Awards and developmental programmes like Stepping Stones, which guide boys into responsible men.
