Botswana-based diamond mining company Debswana has awarded Botswana-based facilities management company BelServest a three-year camp management contract for its Jwaneng diamond mine, in south-central Botswana.

BelServest will employ about 180 personnel and with a future planned camp upgrade and expansion project, it is anticipated that this number will increase to about 210 personnel within the next 18 months.

A comprehensive project to upgrade the accommodation, dining, kitchen and recreation facilities of Jwaneng’s mine residents’ village started in November 2016 and will be completed by August 2019.

BelServest employs one expatriate regional manager responsible for the area, and the balance of personnel are all Motswana nationals. The camp has been operated for the past four-and-a-half years under the Servest Botswana banner and now under BelServest.


BelServest is a full-service facilities management company, which can provide clients with focused corporate advisory and business intelligence services as well as the full management of a facility.

It is majority owned by a Motswana citizens group and has “in-depth local knowledge and insight”, with service delivery bolstered by its association with global facilities management group Servest, which has a multinational track record.

BelServest FM is 51% owned by a Motswana citizen group and 49% by Servest Multiservice Group Botswana.
