BoFiNet Names Dr Gaone Seleka CEO to Drive Digital Infrastructure

New Mines Scale Up: Copper and Coal Lead the Diversification Charge
Property - Infrastructure & Megaprojects · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · June 2026 Diversification in a resource economy is not a slogan; it is a set of mines that either ramp up or do not. In March 2023, two of Botswana's gave the thesis substance. The...
Sandton Angles: The Wealthiest Square Mile in Africa, in Pictures
Sandton, dubbed as the wealthiest square mile in Africa, is a different world from many African cities, and if you pay close attention, you can capture the detail that went in and still goes into making it work - the infrastructure. In several spontaneous shots, Oscar...
Smart Cities: Deloitte says Africa is Ready

Addis Ababa Transit: A Metro Built for the Industrial City It Awaited
The light rail’s southern line was routed deliberately toward factory districts. The transit arrived; the industrial boom it anticipated arrived more slowly.
South African portfolio flows
Investors have returned to South African assets as inflation fears ease – and capital that warms to Botswana’s largest neighbour rarely leaves the rest of the region untouched.
Addis Ababa Light Rail: Africa’s First Metro and the Bill After the Ribbon
Sub-Saharan Africa’s first light rail opened in 2015 to genuine acclaim. Within a decade it needed rescuing from its own decline.
Fertiliser finance
Fertiliser supply risk has threatened African food systems – and for Botswana, a food importer with thin domestic production, the financing of fertiliser is a quiet line of food security.
Oil-price hedging
Oil prices swung sharply during Middle East supply disruptions – a reminder that for an oil-importing economy like Botswana, hedging is a budgeting discipline, not a speculative bet.
Djibouti-Ethiopia Rail: When Sea Access Runs Through a Neighbour’s Port
A railway can carry a landlocked country’s trade to the coast in hours. It cannot make that coast its own.
Renewable project finance
Large solar projects in Botswana have moved from concept to signed arrangements – the point at which renewable ambition starts to behave like real, financed infrastructure.
Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway: The Export Line That Trucks Keep Overtaking
A 753-kilometre electric railway was built to carry a landlocked nation’s trade to the sea. Eight years on, much of that trade still goes by road.
Gulf capital access
Botswana’s energy and mineral exploration deals with Oman mark a shift: sovereign-to-sovereign capital is becoming a serious source of long-horizon money for a small economy.
De Beers capital race
As Anglo prepared changes to De Beers, African states weighed taking stakes – a capital race over who owns the company at the centre of Botswana’s diamond story.
Mombasa Port and the inland chain: where corridor efficiency is won or lost
Mombasa’s throughput nearly tripled and dwell time fell sharply. Yet trucks still face seven to ten stops to Kampala – proof the corridor’s bottleneck moved inland, it did not disappear.
Diamond cash-flow volatility
ODC’s shift toward contract sales was designed to reduce price and auction volatility – trading the spikes of the open market for a steadier diamond cash flow.
Kenya’s railway dream: national ambition meets the arithmetic of a loan
A modern railway was Kenya’s first since independence, a statement of arrival. It also became the country’s biggest debt, where the politics of ambition collides with the politics of repayment.
Interest-rate discipline
As inflation and liquidity pressures moved, Bank of Botswana policy signals stayed essential reading – the interest-rate discipline that prices every loan in the economy.
