About Builders Mart
Builders Mart sells building materials, tools, hardware, plumbing and electrical goods, aimed at middle and lower-middle-income customers and concentrated in rural Botswana, where Choppies calls it a well-known name. It came with the 76 per cent stake in Kamoso Africa in 2023 and accounts for the group's 28 hardware stores. The first Namibian branch opened during the year to June 2025, held through a separate wholly owned company rather than through Kamoso.
