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...

Chobe Connect: Kasane Courts Investors in Agro-Logistics
The SEZ Authority and FNB Botswana announced Chobe Connect 2026 to position Chobe for agro-industry, logistics and tourism. What investors should watch.
Solar for the Off-Grid: 50,000 Households Against a Continental Dark Map
A US$14 million fund targets at least 50,000 families beyond the main grid. Set against more than 600 million Africans without power, the cooperation is precise, modest and worth measuring honestly.
Payment interoperability
African shoppers now move across several payment platforms in a single week, and merchants who accept only one channel are quietly losing the sale.
Africa Solar Belt: A Demonstration Pledge Meets a 600-Million Access Gap
China frames the Africa Solar Belt as a clean-energy access story. Yet the materials it lists – streetlights, kits, one power station – sit against a shortfall of more than 600 million people.
Online education
As global capital pours into artificial intelligence, the most durable Botswana market may not be the tools themselves but the courses that teach people to use them.
Digital ads ROI
AI and platform shifts are forcing marketers to prove what they once assumed. In Botswana, the new test for digital ads is measurable return, not reach.
De Aar’s Turbines: A Chinese Wind Flagship in South Africa’s Dry Heart
Longyuan’s De Aar wind farm, 244.5 MW across 163 turbines in the Northern Cape, became the first wind project financed, built and run by a Chinese firm in Africa.
Consumer confidence
A downgrade to global growth reaches Botswana households through jobs and prices, not headlines. Consumer confidence is the channel that carries it home.
Cheap and Clean: Can Low-Cost Renewables Make African Factories Competitive
Chinese-built solar and hydro promise the low tariffs manufacturers need, but cheap clean power only sharpens competitiveness when the rest of the industrial base is ready.
Value packs
When food prices rise, packaging shrinks before brands admit it. In Botswana, smaller packs and sachets are how staples stay within reach of a stretched basket.
Data privacy
How people choose to pay reveals what they will not compromise on. In Botswana, digital-payment behaviour shows that security and privacy now shape the sale.
Selling Sunlight Downhill: Ethiopia and Djibouti Wire a Regional Power Trade
A second 230-kV line will lift Djibouti’s import capacity from Ethiopia toward 220 MW – turning surplus hydropower into an export and a neighbour’s reliable supply.
Brand localisation
As regional trade shifts, where a product is made becomes part of its pitch. For Botswana brands, local sourcing is turning into a marketing advantage worth naming.
The Lines Between: Why Africa’s Real Power Story Is the Wires, Not the Dams
China’s foreign ministry counts 66,000 km of transmission and distribution lines built across Africa since 2000 – the unglamorous wiring that decides whether a dam ever reaches a home.
Retail credit risk
High living costs are quietly turning credit into a coping tool. For Botswana retailers and lenders, that shift in consumer credit stress is a risk to watch and a margin to manage.
