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...
Wellness tourism
Lifestyle - Culture & Leisure · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 The forces that drag on an economy and the forces that fill a spa are, at root, the same force. When the World Bank cut its global growth outlook for 2026 and warned the drop...
Sports sponsorship

Orange Botswana Pledges P1m to the Golden Grand Prix
Corporate sponsorship usually buys exposure. The more interesting deals buy a country a stage. Orange Botswana has committed P1m to sponsor the FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Tour meeting set for 26 April 2026 — and the value of that...

Delivery economics
Fuel volatility lands last in the price of a delivered parcel. When crude swings, Botswana’s couriers and last-mile riders feel it before the customer does.
Power Plants by the Dozen: How China Made Generation a Delivery Category
China’s foreign ministry counts more than 80 large-scale power facilities and 120 million kW built across Africa since 2000 – generation turned into a continent-wide product line.
Subscription economy
A new tax on digital services is a price test in disguise. Streaming, software and subscriptions in Botswana now have to prove they are worth the higher line item.
East Africa’s Dams: Chinese Hydropower Tests the Industrial Promise
China-built dams now anchor East Africa’s grids, yet cheap megawatts alone have not delivered the factories and jobs the projects were sold to underwrite.
Tourism consumers
When regional assets steady, the cost of a Maun safari or a Kasane lodge bed quietly moves with them. Botswana tourism prices the calm next door.
Luxury reset
Diamond-market weakness has shifted wealth sentiment and forced a luxury rethink. In the country whose name is bound to the stone, the reset is felt closer to home than anywhere.
Karuma: Uganda’s 600 MW Bet on Industry, Built Over Twelve Years
Uganda’s largest power plant came online in 2024, doubling effective capacity. The wager is that 600 MW of Chinese-built hydropower can pull industry into a country that does not yet need it.
Consumer electronics
AI-linked electronics demand is strengthening global tech trade. For Botswana consumers and sellers, the same wave means more devices on the shelf and a longer supply line to manage.
Floating the Shortfall: Bui Adds Solar to Steady a River-Bound Grid
Bui’s hydropower output swings with the Black Volta. Ghana’s answer is to float solar on the same reservoir – turning one dam into a planning platform.
Social-commerce credibility
Research on trust concerns in digital payments turns brand reputation into a checkout issue. In social commerce, where the shop is also the feed, credibility is the conversion engine.
Mobile payments
New research on digital payment sentiment in Africa points to a simple operational truth: accept payment on every platform the customer already uses, or lose the sale at the last step.
Bui Dam: How Ghana Bought 400 MW on Commercial Terms From China
Ghana built the Bui hydropower dam to escape blackouts. Its US$292 million Chinese loan carried a 6.1 per cent rate and no grant element – a power-capacity story priced like a mortgage.
Budget-conscious branding
Botswana’s budget projects a rebound even as inflation pressures push shoppers toward value. For brands, the gap between the macro forecast and the household receipt is the whole story.
The Hall as Hard Asset: China’s Conference Centres and the Business Climate
A refurbished hall in Yaounde looks like a gift. Read as infrastructure, China’s conference-centre diplomacy is a quieter bet on Africa’s business environment.
E-commerce imports
World trade proved resilient, but the data warns digital sellers: a click is easy, the cross-border logistics behind it are not. For Botswana e-commerce, the parcel is the weak link.
