The administration has been advocating for a P4,000 minimum wage as part of its efforts to ensure economic equity and social justice.

The implementation of the P4,000 minimum wage by Choppies sets a precedent in the private sector, reflecting a growing recognition of the need for sustainable and fair compensation practices. It is anticipated that this initiative will inspire other businesses to adopt similar measures, contributing to the nation’s economic growth and the well-being of its citizens. As the country moves forward, the collaboration between the government and private enterprises will play a pivotal role in achieving inclusive prosperity and improving the quality of life for all Batswana.
