The Lobito Corridor is becoming a capacity business
A proposed $300 million boost and an 800,000-tonne cargo target show that the corridor’s value will be measured by throughput, reliability and the industries that organise around it. The Lobito Corridor is moving from geopolitical concept to operating-capacity...
Cabanga Africa Launches Musika, a Verified B2B Sourcing Platform for SADC Businesses
Buyers post a requirement and receive one landed price from a verified supplier, with the border, paperwork and carrier carried on a single invoice There is a specific hour that every cross-border trader in Southern Africa knows. You have a buyer. You have a price....
Aterian Starts 90km² Copper Survey in the Kalahari Copperbelt
The Kalahari Copperbelt is one of the more talked-about exploration frontiers in southern Africa, yet most of its copper remains an inference rather than a deposit — a geological promise that has drawn explorers without yet yielding the scale of mines that would...
The 2026 Opportunity Atlas
Content - Voices & Podcasts · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 A year of coverage can leave a reader informed and still adrift, knowing much and acting on little. With the WTO's leading indicator pointing to continued trade...
The Food Security Founder
Content - Magazine Editions · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 Food security is usually told as a story of shortage; less often as a story of the operators quietly closing the gaps. With the FAO Food Price Index tracking the steady movement of...
Local seed systems
When imported seed and inputs are disrupted, local systems look less like nostalgia and more like insurance. Botswana has reason to take its own seed systems seriously.
Agri-data registries
Relief and finance both depend on knowing who farms what, where. Without accurate farm data, Botswana’s farmers risk being invisible to the support meant to reach them.
Pipeline-Builders: China-Africa Youth Contests Bet on Founders, Not Factories
A China-Africa youth entrepreneurship competition now runs across continents on digital economy and AI. The harder question is what happens to the founders after the final in Wuhan.
Livestock movement compliance
Disease-control protocols decide whether Botswana’s beef reaches a premium market or stays home. For a country built on cattle, livestock compliance is market access by another name.
Joint Labs: The Quiet Infrastructure China Is Building Without Concrete
Three new China-Africa joint laboratories in soil, crop pests and animal disease are infrastructure you cannot photograph – the kind that decides whether knowledge stays on the continent.
Farming as industry
Food shocks keep proving the same point: agriculture is not a soft social sector but a strategic industry. The Botswana that treats farming as infrastructure weathers the next shock better.
Climate-smart funding
Global lenders are steering capital toward climate-resilience projects that are bankable. For Botswana the lesson is sharp: a good idea is not enough – the project has to be ready to finance.
Flora of Kenya: How an Orchid Atlas Became a Knowledge-Economy Test
A volume cataloguing Kenya’s orchids, co-edited by Chinese and Kenyan scientists, is a real research output. Whether it builds Kenyan capacity or just Chinese citations is the deeper question.
Smallholder aggregation
Buyers want reliable volumes, not scattered surpluses. That preference is quietly pushing Botswana’s smallholders toward cooperatives – and toward tables they could never reach alone.
Eyes Over Africa: China’s Remote-Sensing Offer Lands Before the Centre Does
China has delivered emergency satellite imagery to Nigeria and Ethiopia and software to Cameroon. The shared cooperation centre meant to anchor it all is still under construction.
Precision agriculture
Precision agriculture promises to do more with less – fewer inputs, better yields. For a water-scarce country like Botswana, that promise is less a luxury than a survival skill.
SADC food security
When global shocks ripple through food and capital markets, the countries that absorb them best are the ones that pooled their risk early. For Botswana, that means SADC.
BeiDou in Africa: A Navigation System Looking for Its Ground Game
China lists at least ten African uses for its BeiDou satellites, from precision farming to wildlife tracking. What the record does not yet list is the named centres to run them.
Meat value chains
Regional food-security partnerships can open processing opportunities. For Botswana, a beef economy seeking to add value, the meat value chain is where regional demand and local ambition meet.
Twenty Digital Projects, RMB 360 Billion: FOCAC’s Next Frontier Pitch
At the 2024 Beijing summit China named the digital economy its next African frontier – 20 projects inside a three-year RMB 360 billion (US$50 billion) package. The detail is thinner than the headline.
