Five Things a Cleaning Supplier Must Make Clear to Buyers
A cleaning supplier can have the best product in the country and still lose the sale, because visibility only pays off when a buyer can tell, from the listing alone, what is on offer and whether it fits. A listing that forces a phone call to answer basic questions...
Eight Questions That Turn a Reference Call Into Evidence
A reference proves nothing on its own. A name and a number handed over with a warm word can mean the person really is who she says she is and worked where she says she worked - or it can mean a friend has agreed to say kind things down the phone. What decides which is...
A Private Home Is Still a Workplace
The trouble with cleaning someone's home is that a home is not built for professional distance. It is where a family argues, sleeps, keeps its money and its medicine, and lets its guard down. A person working inside all of that, day after day, cannot help but see it -...
FMD Response Shifts from Culling to Vaccination in Zone 6b
Botswana's beef industry has long been protected by an instrument that quietly punishes the people it is meant to defend: the cull. For decades, the standard response to a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak has been depopulation — the slaughter of exposed herds to...
Six Things a Useful Cleaner Profile Should Actually Tell You
A cleaner's profile has one job: to help you decide whether she can do the work you need done. It is not a portrait and it is not a popularity contest. Yet most of the ways households in Botswana find a cleaner - a Facebook post, a forwarded number, a photograph...
Mining explorers
Junior and state-linked explorers became front-line players in Botswana’s push to expand exploration beyond diamonds, turning a policy ambition into ground-level prospecting.
Energy dealmakers
Renewable energy between Oman and Botswana moved from talk to signed agreements, putting a new class of cross-border dealmakers at the centre of the diversification story.

A small open economy cannot vote its way out of imported inflation. Botswana’s monetary policymakers spent the year deciding how hard to lean against price and growth stress at once.
Namibian finance leadership
Namibia’s budget has positioned oil as a future growth engine, a neighbour’s bet on a new resource that offers Botswana both a lesson and a live comparison in the regional contest for capital.
Central Bank Sets 30 April for Next Rate Decision
The Bank of Botswana confirmed its Monetary Policy Committee will next meet on 30 April 2026 to review the policy rate, held at 3.5%.
South African fund managers

Duma Boko
President Duma Boko’s visit to Oman produced energy and mineral exploration agreements, signalling a search for partners and capital beyond Botswana’s traditional Western and regional markets.
