My Appointment on Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power Board of Directors. On January 2, 2025, the General Assembly of ACWA POWER approved my appointment to the board of the company. ACWA POWER is a company headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the city of Riyadh and is listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange. The main shareholder of the company is the Kingdom of Saudi Sovereign's Welfare Fund, (The Public Investment Fund) at about 44% equity. ACWA POWER is the region's leading water desalination and power producer with investments in other Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and more recently in Africa, central Asia, and China. I am thrilled to be part of the team and now all I need to do is prove those who paid me the compliment right. 🙏 acwapower.com/en/about-us/bo… acwapower.com/en/investor-re…

I’m Ready to Serve I would like to take this moment to thank President Adv Duma Gideon Boko for the appointment to the high office of Minister of Sport and Arts. Ours is to serve and do our very best for this country. I come into this office not as a stranger to the sporting and arts fraternity. My sojourn in politics began because of my interest and participation in sports. I started playing football in the sandy soils of Motokwe all the way to University of Botswana. It was at university where I took a decision to go beyond being a sports man and become an advocate for sports development. I then contested the SRC elections and became Minister of Sports,where i served in CUCSA, BOTESSA and Intervas organising committees. I was also elected as the SRC President on 2 occasions, where I presided over all student functions including the Arts and festivities. I have done sports analysis, and later a social and political commentary on TV and some of the local radio stations. My appointment as Minister is therefore and continuation of my lifelong dedication and commitment to sports and arts. Our manifesto was bold and emphatic, we believe in the potential of the creative economy to create jobs for our people. We also believe with the right investment and management, our sportspeople can be the very best in the world. This is the vision that we are working towards. We dare not fail! Letla ratwa ke Modimo le Batho! Hon Jacob Kelebeng Minister of Sports and Arts Member of Parliament-Takatokwane Constituency

@PhiriKitso @SheilaKhama Thanks! I'd say political economy is as responsible for Africa's underdevelopment as it is for China's dvpt. Nothing inevitable about it though. We should study it to understand where & how incentives can be changed & distinguish where things need to be accepted for what they are
