The Board of Directors of Minerals Development Company Botswana (MDCB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Pelaelo Daniel Khowe as Caretaker Chief Executive Officer, effective 20 April 2026.

Mr. Khowe is a seasoned finance and investment professional with over 20 years of experience across finance, accounting, grants management, and strategic leadership in both the public and private sectors. Prior to his secondment, he served as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Minerals and Energy, where he provided strategic oversight of Botswana’s mining and energy portfolio, including several key state-owned enterprises.

Mr Khowe brings extensive expertise in investment strategy, financial governance, and large-scale project oversight, underpinned by his involvement in major national initiatives, including Botswana’s landmark mining and energy negotiations and infrastructure projects.

Among his notable achievements, Mr Khowe chaired the Finance Working Group during the Botswana-De Beers diamond negotiations. He has also played a pivotal role in structuring, negotiating, and delivering Botswana’s first 300MW coal-fired Independent Power Producer (IPP) project, as well as 10MW and 6MW Coal Bed Methane power pilot projects.

His distinguished service has been recognised with the award of the Naledi Ya Botswana (N.Y.B) for meritorious service. “The Board welcomes Mr Khowe to this role at a pivotal time for MDCB. His depth of experience, strategic insight, and strong understanding of Botswana’s minerals and energy landscape position him well to provide steady leadership and continuity. We are confident in his ability to guide the organisation as we advance our mandate and sustain momentum during this transition,” said Mr Oabile Mabusa, Board Chairman, MDCB.
