Real Estate Tagged a Money-Laundering Hotspot, P1.1bn in Dirty Money
Rising property prices are usually read as a sign of confidence — a market voting for a city's future. In Botswana, a mid-April 2026 national risk assessment has supplied the uncomfortable counter-reading: some of that rise is not confidence at all, but laundered...
Botswana Launches State-Owned Explorer to Unearth Critical Minerals
Botswana is, on the conventional measure, one of the most thoroughly mapped mineral economies in Africa — and almost none of that map has been drawn. The contradiction is built into the country's success. Decades of diamond wealth concentrated the entire exploration...
Nigerian Energy Expert Joins BPC Board to Drive Maduo 26
Botswana exports diamonds and beef with discipline, but it still imports a large share of the electricity that keeps the lights on. For a country that mines coal and sits under abundant sun, that is the structural contradiction the power sector has been wrestling with...
Digital & Innovation Hub Taps Phetlhu to Lead Tech Transformation
Botswana does not lack innovation policy. It lacks the harder thing: the operational muscle to turn policy into shipped products, funded ventures and commercial outcomes. Hubs and strategies are easy to announce and difficult to run, which is why the people chosen to...
Deadline Extension Buys Time for Corporate Law Compliance
Intellectual - Intellectual Property & Brand · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · June 2026 A compliance deadline is a forcing function, and forcing functions only work if firms can actually meet them. CIPA conceded as much, extending the deadline for firms to file...
Fashion and retail lifestyle
Consumer behaviour is being mapped more closely than ever, and the shifts that researchers track abroad reshape what local fashion and luxury pop-ups can sell in Gaborone.
Destination resilience
When the World Bank cuts its global growth outlook and warns of a sharper drop if conflict spreads, capital and travellers alike retreat to what feels safe. Botswana’s stability is a destination
Business-class lifestyle
As Botswana’s budget projects a rebound after a commodity downturn, the country’s executives are quietly resetting how they spend – trading display for discretion without leaving the premium tier.
Family-budget travel
Consumer price pressures are pushing travellers toward value, and for Botswana operators the family-budget package is less a discount than a way to keep the local market moving.
MICE tourism
World trade rose in April in a fresh sign of resilience, and the investment forums that follow such resilience are exactly the meetings Botswana can host – growing its MICE tourism around them.
Heritage branding
With the WTO’s leading indicator pointing to continued trade resilience, a small economy like Botswana must compete on value, not volume – and culture is the premium layer.
Outdoor economy
As stagflation fears fade and fresh buyers return to South African assets, the renewed regional appetite for risk gives Botswana’s wildlife and conservation tourism a chance to widen local income.
Cross-border leisure
World trade rose in April in a fresh sign of resilience, and for Botswana’s leisure businesses the regional trade and travel rules that follow are felt at the border, not the boardroom.
Hospitality finance
Botswana’s budget projects an economic rebound this year, but for hotels the recovery only counts if cost discipline holds while rates and fuel keep moving.
Creative economy
Music, fashion and content now live or die on digital platforms and the trust that moves money across them. For Botswana’s creators, the platform is both the stage and the gatekeeper.
Wellness tourism
As the World Bank trims its global growth outlook, the pressure that slows economies is the same pressure that fills wellness retreats. Botswana sits closer to that market than it thinks.
Sports sponsorship
A sponsor’s logo is a bet on stability. When economies strain, that money does not vanish; it migrates toward resilient national brands. Botswana’s calm is a sponsorship asset.
Orange Botswana Pledges P1m to the Golden Grand Prix
Orange Botswana has pledged P1m to sponsor the FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Tour meeting set for 26 April 2026.
Executive retreats
When the world economy wobbles, leadership teams need a room with the door closed. A cut global growth outlook is, awkwardly, demand for the strategic retreat.
Culinary business
A restaurant menu is a price list disguised as a pleasure. When global food prices climb, the menu is the first place a kitchen absorbs the shock, in portions, sourcing and prices.
