Gaborone, Botswana – In the heart of Botswana’s diamond-rich landscape, Naledi Mining Services Company (Naledi) is emerging as a shining star. This dynamic mining services provider, a subsidiary of Debswana, the world’s leading diamond producer, is rapidly carving a niche for itself in the international mining arena.
Established in 2022, Naledi has quickly grown to become one of Botswana’s largest mining services companies, employing over 1,000 staff. The company’s expertise lies in providing critical services to the mining industry, from labor and management to maintenance and mine planning.
A Focus on Efficiency and Safety
At the helm of Naledi is CEO Bokang Thitoyamore, a visionary leader with a passion for driving innovation and excellence. Thitoyamore emphasizes the company’s commitment to “improving efficiencies and productivities to deliver mandates safely and cost-effectively.”
Naledi’s approach is based on a deep understanding of the mining industry and a focus on optimizing operations. By identifying inefficiencies and providing highly skilled human resources, the company is able to add significant value to its clients’ businesses.
Safety is another cornerstone of Naledi’s operations. The company has implemented robust safety protocols and is constantly striving to improve its safety record. In recent years, Naledi has modified its mining contracts to include a hybrid model that has significantly improved citizen participation in local communities.
Expanding Horizons: Underground Mining and Upskilling
Naledi is not content to rest on its laurels. The company is actively exploring new opportunities, including underground mining. This transition requires significant investment in new technologies and training, but Thitoyamore is confident that Naledi is well-prepared to meet the challenge.
“We are preparing to meet these new requirements by upskilling our workforce and investing in cutting-edge technology,” he says.
Naledi is investing heavily in upskilling its employees, particularly in the areas of engineering, procurement, and construction management. The company has partnered with DRA Global to initiate joint projects and professionalize local workers in these fields.
“Our goal is to position Naledi as the premier destination for mining expertise in Botswana,” Thitoyamore declares.
A Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
Beyond its business operations, Naledi is also deeply committed to corporate social responsibility. The company has invested in various community development initiatives, including sports programs and educational support.
“As a business, these investments go beyond building and maintaining good relationships with our communities,” Thitoyamore explains. “They are a testament to our vision of creating limitless possibilities for a better tomorrow.”
As Naledi continues to grow and expand its operations, it is clear that the company is poised to play a major role in the future of Botswana’s mining industry. With its focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability, Naledi is well-positioned to become a global leader in mining services.
