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...

Property is a Lucrative Investment in South Africa
New homeowners, especially first-time homeowners, are concerned with the value of the property in future because of inflation and lending rate fluctuations in South Africa. Prime properties are found in cosmopolitan Gauteng, South Africa, such as the 4-Bedroomed-Units...

Fehmarn Belt Tunnel: The European New Mega-Gateway
In the world of engineering and construction, there are few projects as ambitious and awe-inspiring as the Fehmarn Belt tunnel. Once completed, this structure will become the longest immersed tunnel in the world, connecting Germany and Denmark under a body of water...
Household affordability
Botswana’s budget projects an economic rebound this year. Inflation risk is the variable that decides whether households actually feel it in their discretionary spending.
Small towns on the line: corridor infrastructure as a growth enabler
Flagship corridors are sold by capital-city endpoints. The quieter story is what happens to the towns the road passes through on the way.
AI investment finance
AI demand kept global electronics trade moving through a volatile year. The financing question for Botswana is whether it funds the chips or the things they make possible.
Food-price working capital
Food and fertiliser prices keep moving, and every swing forces firms to finance inventory they did not budget for. For Botswana’s food chain, working capital is the quiet cost of volatility.
Corridors over showpieces: why the link between projects matters most
A single railway is a ribbon-cutting. A working corridor is an economy. The gap between the two is where most African trade still loses money.
Cost of capital in construction
Botswana signed energy and mineral exploration deals with Oman just as financing costs climbed worldwide. The ambition is real; the cost of capital decides which projects survive it.
Ports as gateways: where China’s African infrastructure meets the trade test
Beijing’s white paper counts almost 100 ports built across Africa. Whether those quays move African goods, or mostly imports, is the harder question.
Banking for exporters
World trade rose in April even as tariff threats multiplied. For Botswana exporters, the lesson is less about the rebound than about the banking that survives the next shock.
Diamond-sector receivables
Rough-diamond price swings ripple through cash conversion for cutters, traders and suppliers – and after an S&P downgrade, Botswana’s receivables sit in the path of global headwinds.
Bridges as Multipliers: Mozambique’s 3km Span and Its 4% Debt
Africa’s longest suspension bridge cut a six-hour journey to 90 minutes across Maputo Bay. It also left Mozambique repaying a US$785m loan at 4% – a multiplier of commerce, and of debt.
Ratings and tender pricing
A credit downgrade does not stay on paper – it raises the price of government-backed projects, and Botswana’s tender costs move with its rating.
Roads First: How 100,000km of Chinese-Built Tarmac Reshaped Africa
China’s foreign ministry counts nearly 100,000km of highways built across Africa. The headline rail projects get the attention – but roads, quieter and more numerous, did the heavier lifting.
Capital follows energy
Renewable, oil-storage and grid projects are pulling strategic capital, and Botswana’s energy and mineral deals with Oman show how investment now follows the power supply.
Insurance against shocks
Conflict, disease and commodity swings hit fuel, food and mining at once – a reminder that for Botswana, insurance against shocks is now a core part of doing business.
TAZARA’s Real Cargo: Copper to the Sea Through Dar es Salaam
Rehabilitating TAZARA is sold as a rail story. Its point is the sea – a mineral corridor delivering Zambian copper to Dar es Salaam, racing US- and Japan-backed routes for the same ore.
