Said Chief Executive of Stanbic Bank Botswana, Samuel Minta, “As we shared then and we reiterate now, our commitment is steadfast – Our Youth are Our Future and we are unwavering in working to facilitate their growth to create the next generation of Africa’s millionaires and  change the youth narrative in Botswana. Key to this was the official launch of the AcceleR8 co-working space. We are pleased to have appointed Larona, having undertaken a rigorous recruitment and screening process. Larona emerged as the perfect fit and we are confident in his capabilities and aligned vision for what we can and will do in this space.”
