The centre was handed to the government of Botswana and managed by the Department of Veterinary Services of the Ministry of Agriculture and it was renamed Meat Inspection Training Centre (MITC).^[5] On 1st of April 2012, the Institution was taken over by Botswana College of Agriculture (BCA) now BUAN. The centre offers a Certificate programme in Meat Inspection and is based in the Southern part of Botswana in a town called Lobatse.
