The Botswana Tourism Organisation, BTO, has announced the suspension of its Chief Executive Officer, Ms Keitumetse Setlang, and Board Secretary, Mr Kgotso Miles Ollyn, effective 12 February 2026, pending further notice.

In an official communication issued to media houses and stakeholders, the Board of Directors confirmed that Mr Justice Ofentse has been appointed Acting Chief Executive Officer, while MsNeo Sekhobe assumes the role of Acting Board Secretary during the interim period.

The organisation did not disclose reasons for the suspensions, and no timeline has been providedregarding the duration of the administrative action.

The development comes at a time when national tourism bodies across Africa are intensifying institutional reforms and governance alignment to strengthen sector competitiveness, investor confidence and destination credibility.

The interim appointments are expected to ensure administrative stability as the organisation continues executing its national tourism mandate pending further communication from the Board.
