Industrial Court Gets a Case-Management Unit to Slash Five-Year Backlogs

Stanbic Festival Scales Up, Hiring 500+ for Music Extravaganza

Boko Breaks Ground on the 500MW Maun Solar Plant to Green the Delta
Botswana sells the world a clean image of wild places — the Okavango Delta, Chobe, the channels and floodplains that anchor a premium tourism economy — while running much of its grid on coal. That contradiction has long sat quietly behind the country's energy mix. On...
ICT Roadmap 2030: 100,000 Jobs and Digital-First Services
Botswana built its prosperity on what came out of the ground. The next chapter depends on something that does not: the ability to move data, build software and deliver services digitally in an economy still defined by diamonds. The contradiction is sharp — a country...

Botswana to Open Moscow Embassy, Woos Russian Investors for Rare Earths
Small economies cannot afford a single buyer for what they sell or a single partner for the capital they need. The diamond slump has made that lesson concrete, and it explains a diplomatic move that would otherwise read as merely symbolic. On 4 January 2026, Foreign...

Child-Support Grant Launches as Kgatleng Preps Road Projects

Bank of Botswana Lifts Policy Rate to 3.5% to Calm Credit Markets

Masunga Sports Complex Opens; Council Eyes Solar and Fee Review
A new sports complex is easy to open and hard to sustain. The ribbon-cutting draws a crowd; the running costs arrive quietly every month thereafter. At end-March 2026 Masunga, in the north-east, faced exactly that test as its sports complex opened for public use — and...
Malaria Cases Surge as Residents Shun Indoor Spraying in the North West
Public health usually fails on supply — too few clinics, too little medicine, too thin a budget. In Botswana's North West District over the rainy season, it failed on a quieter front: consent. Between November 2025 and January 2026, the district recorded 38 malaria...
