Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited (BTCL) today confirmed its intention to restructure the Group’s Executive Committee (EXCO) as part of its broader ambition to drive faster decision-making, enhance agility, and strengthen competitiveness in the digital services market.
The Board is considering consolidating the current two-tier EXCO structure into a single, high-impact leadership team. This change is designed to improve responsiveness, accelerate product delivery, and position BTC to lead Botswana’s digital future.
“This will mark the second phase of our growth strategy. We are evolving to meet the demands of a fast-changing market. Our customers expect speed, innovation, and seamless service, and this restructure will enable us to deliver just that.” said BTC Chief Executive Officer, Jürgen Peschel.
Peschel emphasised that the restructure will apply to EXCO roles only and will not impact staff-level positions or frontline operations.
“Let me be clear – there are no job cuts at staff level. Our people remain central to BTC’s success, and this change is about empowering them, not reducing our workforce.”
The move follows a period of strong financial performance. In its most recent results, BTC reported a 30% increase in profit before tax, a 28% rise in earnings per share, and a 40% gain in share price over the past year. Shareholders have also benefited from improved dividend payouts.
BTC remains committed to transparent communication and will continue to engage with employees, shareholders, and stakeholders throughout the transition. Further updates will be shared via official channels.
