The stone will be set before the sun climbs high. Family, friends, and the faithful will gather around the resting place of Atlasaone Molemogi – known across Botswana by a single, luminous syllable: ATI – and what they will witness is not merely the placement of granite over earth. It is, in the plainest and most profound sense, an act of cultural refusal: a community’s declaration that the artists who give a nation its voice...
In Botswana’s corporate and social arenas, traditionally dominated by relentless efficiency targets, endless performance metrics, and transactional networking, a subtle but significant transformation is underway. Across industries, hundreds of women in influential roles are redefining leadership on their own terms. Initiatives like the SHEvolution Women’s Empowerment Brunch, hosted by SHE Plans Events PTY LTD under the evocative theme “Lavender Skies Soiree,” have created intentional spaces where professional ambition intertwines with emotional reflection.

Africa is entering a new era of Big Tech investment. For Botswana, the question has evolved beyond simply who can connect the country to the internet; it now centers on who controls the infrastructure, the data, and the economic benefits generated by that connectivity. The continent is becoming the focal point of an intensifying technology race, as global corporations expand their stakes in connectivity, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure. A recent report by...
There’s a unique electricity inside Maitisong Theatre – a current charged by decades of storytelling, performances, and communal gatherings. Since its founding in 1987 as Botswana’s first working theatre, nestled within Gaborone’s Maru a Pula School, Maitisong has stood as the vibrant heart of the nation’s cultural memory. As it approaches its milestone 40th anniversary in 2027, the theatre is not simply marking the passage of time but rethinking the very role of a community...
For decades, the pathway to substantial wealth in Africa was firmly rooted in tangible resources and heavy industries. Ambitious entrepreneurs seeking outsized returns typically gravitated toward sectors like cement manufacturing, oil extraction, mining, traditional retail banking, or mobile telecommunications. These industries required vast upfront investments in machinery, land rights, distribution networks, and government concessions before turning a profit. That era is now giving way to a profound economic shift. A new wave of entrepreneurs, armed...
Every weekend, stadiums and festival grounds across Botswana draw millions of Pula through sold-out concerts, corporate sponsorships, and merchandise sales. But behind the spotlight and booming speakers lies a significant economic gap, revealed by data from the World Intellectual Property Organization. Botswana ranks 58th globally in innovation inputs, buoyed by stable public institutions and a sophisticated market, according to its Global Innovation Index report. Yet, when it comes to creative outputs, the country falls to...
Botswana’s goal to double its economy to $40 billion by 2036 is no small feat. Traditional methods of business growth won’t cut it. Achieving the steep 7.2% annual growth rate demands a fundamental shift in how the country drives productivity. At the inaugural CEO Africa Roundtable, experts made it clear: artificial intelligence is the engine that can accelerate this transformation. Moving beyond the usual tech buzz, industry leaders confronted the hard realities of economic diversification....
Botswana, a nation long known for the wealth hidden beneath its soil, is quietly reshaping its narrative. The focus is shifting from mere extraction to imagination, from rough stones to refined identity, and from mineral riches to creative enterprise. This transformation was marked at the Alliance Française de Gaborone with the launch of Création Botswana Season 2. The initiative unites the Embassy of France in Botswana, Lucara Botswana, Alliance Française de Gaborone, KGK Diamonds Botswana,...
Across boardrooms in Botswana, executives are investing millions in digital transformation. New customer relationship management systems are acquired, marketing platforms integrated, event software implemented, and field teams equipped with fresh reporting tools. Yet, despite this surge in technology spending, many organizations still wrestle with the same problem: disconnected systems that lead to fragmented experiences, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities. For entrepreneur and technology innovator Kagiso Rantsha, this contradiction reveals a deeper issue. Businesses aren’t lacking...
Modern higher education institutions are increasingly breaking free from the traditional confines of classrooms and lecture halls to become dynamic engines of societal change.
