Gaborone, Botswana, September 10, 2024 —CavistaTechnologies, a global technology services company, has officially opened a new corporate office in Botswana in the heart of Gaborone’s business district. This expansion is poised to create up to 500 high-skill IT jobs, furthering Cavista’s commitment to innovation and growth across Africa.
His Excellency Dr. Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana, delivered remarks, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and toured the state-of-the-art facility alongside the Vice President, the Minister of Trade and Industry, other senior government officials, and the U.S. Ambassador to Botswana. Also in attendance were dozens of business leaders, CavistaHoldings executives, and members of the media.
“We are in Botswana for the long haul,” said John Olajide, Chairman of Cavista Holdings, the parent company of Cavista Technologies. “Botswana’s youth represent a tremendous opportunity for us to create jobs, harnessing their technical and engineering skills to drive innovation and create value for businesses. Together, we will transform lives.”
By the end of next year, Cavista plans to employ 100 highly skilled professionals in Botswana, collaborating with teams across the company’s global operations. In the long term, the goal is to expand to 500 IT jobs in the country.
President Masisi warmly welcomed Cavista’s entry into Botswana, emphasizing its significance for the nation’s growth.
“The official opening of Cavista in Botswana is not just the beginning of a new chapter for this esteemed company, but also for our own country,” President Masisi said. “This marks the beginning of a partnership built on shared values, collaboration, and a belief in Botswana’s potential as a key player in the global business landscape.”
He added, “Cavista Holdings’ decision to invest in Botswana is a powerful vote of confidence in our country’s stability, business environment, and vision to become Africa’s leading technology hub.”
Olajide highlighted his commitment to Botswana, which grew out of two years of conversations with President Masisi.
“Our journey here is a testament to the power of relationships built on trust,” Olajide said. “I believe Cavista’s presence in Botswana will help transform the lives of many young people, allowing both Botswana and Africa to thrive and reach their full potential in the years to come.”
In closing, President Masisi remarked, “Cavista Holdings is no ordinary company. Its commitment to creating technology solutions that improve lives and enhance business efficiency aligns perfectly with Botswana’s national development agenda. As we diversify our economy beyond traditional sectors, technology and innovation will drive our transformation.”
