ICT Roadmap 2030: 100,000 Jobs and Digital-First Services
Botswana built its prosperity on what came out of the ground. The next chapter depends on something that does not: the ability to move data, build software and deliver services digitally in an economy still defined by diamonds. The contradiction is sharp — a country...
Zone Pitch: How SA’s SEZ Conference Spotlights R31.7 Billion and 28,821 Jobs
Industrial policy in South Africa is rich in announcements and thin in audited results, which is why investors have learned to discount the launch and wait for the ledger. The country's special economic zone programme arrives at its second international conference...

Business Interruption Cover After June 30
Business interruption cover was built around a simple trigger: physical damage. A fire, a flood, a broken machine stops the business, and the policy pays for the lost trading while the damage is repaired. The disruption now facing South African operators does not fit...
Indaba Pitch: How SA Tourism Logged 2.91 Million Arrivals and an Aviation-Hub Bid
Tourism recovery is usually announced before it is earned, with optimistic targets that outrun the arrivals data. South Africa's pitch at this year's travel showcase came with the harder currency of counted visitors, and a more ambitious claim attached to them. At...

Cabanga TV is live: watch how Capitec became South Africa’s biggest Bank
A R4.3 million online shop, a women-led car plant, Durban's big build and the township property market are among the South African stories now free to watch. JOHANNESBURG, 17 October 2026 - How does a bank that started with nothing become the biggest in the country?...
Afrophobia as a Growth Constraint, Not a Social Footnote
Growth models for South Africa carry the usual variables: investment, productivity, the terms of trade, the cost of capital, the electricity supply. Social cohesion is not among them. It is filed under politics, or sociology, or the softer pages of a country report....
Botswana to Open Moscow Embassy, Woos Russian Investors for Rare Earths
Small economies cannot afford a single buyer for what they sell or a single partner for the capital they need. The diamond slump has made that lesson concrete, and it explains a diplomatic move that would otherwise read as merely symbolic. On 4 January 2026, Foreign...

Child-Support Grant Launches as Kgatleng Preps Road Projects
A social grant is only as good as the system that delivers it. The promise of support means little if the money arrives late, lands in the wrong hands, or cannot be reconciled against a verifiable register. That tension — between the intent of a welfare programme and...
BDC to Inject P1.39bn Across Strategic Sectors
Development finance institutions are easy to misread. From the outside they look like deep pockets handing out cheap money; from the inside they are forced to make a harder choice — between spreading capital thinly across politically attractive causes, and...
Bank of Botswana Lifts Policy Rate to 3.5% to Calm Credit Markets
For most of the last decade, the complaint about money in Botswana was that it cost almost nothing — and that this was precisely the problem. A policy rate held near the floor signalled an economy being nursed, not one running hot. When the price of money sits that...

Cage Business: How PFL Africa’s Pretoria Card Grew the MMA Economy
Mixed martial arts has long had a paradox in Africa: a deep supply of talent and almost no professional stage on which to monetise it. Fighters have had to leave the continent to build careers, taking the gate receipts, broadcast value and sponsorship with them. The...
Masunga Sports Complex Opens; Council Eyes Solar and Fee Review
A new sports complex is easy to open and hard to sustain. The ribbon-cutting draws a crowd; the running costs arrive quietly every month thereafter. At end-March 2026 Masunga, in the north-east, faced exactly that test as its sports complex opened for public use — and...

Ten systems that turn a crew into a multi-site operator
The leap that breaks cleaning firms is the first extra site, not the first extra crew. Ten systems let one standard survive across locations the owner cannot watch.
More cleaners is not the same as more company
Turning away work tempts a founder to hire. But adding people without systems magnifies every weakness. What scales a cleaning company is the operating model, not the headcount.

Six records every household employer should actually keep
Memory is not a record system. Six plain records – a written agreement, identity, hours, payments, leave and UIF registration – keep a South African household employer compliant and protected when disputes arise.
