BREAKING NEWS | AIRLINK CEO STEPS DOWN, EFFECTIVE APRIL 2025.

Airlink will undergo a change of leadership following the decision by current CEO and MD, Rodger Foster, to step down at the end of March 2025 after almost 33 years at the company’s helm.

Airlink’s current Chief Financial Officer, de Villiers Engelbrecht, will take over from Foster as the company’s new CEO, effective 1 April 2025.

However, Foster will remain a shareholder in the airline and will continue to serve as a non-executive director.

"It has been a privilege to have led Airlink through what has been an exciting, at times very challenging, but ultimately a rewarding and fulfilling journey. However, after more than three decades in the post, it is time to hand over the flight controls to my successor and our Chief Financial Officer, de Villiers Engelbrecht,” Foster said.

GABORONE - Botswana's president-elect Duma Boko is a human rights lawyer who spent three decades in opposition fighting to dislodge the party in power for nearly 60 years before clinching his surprise landslide victory.

The 54-year-old Harvard graduate inspired voters in the arid southern African country to turn out in large numbers for Wednesday's elections that ended the six-decade rule of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which took power on independence.

Congratulations, Botswana
