17 March 2026, Kasane, Botswana

On this day in a momentous ceremony, Minister of Environment & Tourism Honourable Wynter Mmolotsi accompanied by Minister of Transport & Infrastructure Honourable Noah Salakae unveiled a landmark infrastructure project in Kasane.

Our Managing Director, Thandeka Palai speaks to the building being more than just a structure – it's a reflection of the community's values and aspirations. The project's journey was a testament to the complexities of bringing a vision to life.

From relocating 30 prefabricated housing units in Kazungula to addressing unexpected site challenges, the team behind the infrastructure demonstrated unwavering dedication. The multidisciplinary team comprising Batswana experts worked tirelessly to deliver a building that would serve the public good. The result is a stunning example of civic architecture.

Two wings connected by a spacious reception area, create a strong sense of arrival while a structural grid allows for flexibility and growth. The building's adaptability was a key consideration.with the front wing designed to accommodate a future third floor. But it's the public building's relationship with its surroundings that truly sets it apart.

Parking is discreetly tucked away allowing the structure to address the street with dignity and reinforce its connection to the public realm. The rooftop terrace overlooking the majestic Chobe River offers a glimpse into the possibilities of the future. As the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Hon Noah Salakae noted, "Public architecture is never simply about constructing walls and roofs. It is about shaping the places where public service and community life unfold."

This infrastructure is a testament to that mantra - a beacon of hope and possibility for the people of Kasane and Kazungula.
