BCL Limited

BCL Limited, originally founded as Bamangwato Concessions Limited, was a mining company in Selebi-Phikwe in Botswana.

It was formed in 1956 to mine copper.

[1][2] In 1959, an agreement, signed by African Authority Rasebolai Kgamane, along with Seretse Khama and Oteng Mphoeng, allowed BCL to prospect.

[3] In 2004 the company changed its name to BCL Limited as parastatals in Botswana were separated from connections to tribes, Bamangwato being one of them.

[4] Following lower market prices the mine was shut down in 2016, making over 5.000 people unemployed.
