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?...
New Suite: How Absa Reshuffled Its Banking and Governance Leadership
Banks tend to reshuffle leadership quietly, one appointment at a time. When they move several senior people at once, it is usually a statement about structure rather than personnel. That is the way to read Absa's February 2026 announcement: a cluster of executive...
Molopo Farmers Pool Funds for a 200km FMD Barrier
A fence is the cheapest insurance a cattle economy can buy, and one of the hardest to finance. Botswana's access to the European beef market — among the most lucrative destinations for African protein — depends on keeping foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) out, and the...
South Africa’s Sovereign Reputation Is Now a Workplace Issue
A country’s reputation used to be a matter for its diplomats. Increasingly, it is a matter for its payroll. How South Africa treats African workers, once filed under foreign policy and moral standing, now travels directly into the rooms where ratings are set,...
Seven Steps to Start a Cleaning Business With Almost No Equipment
The most expensive mistake a new cleaning business can make is to buy the equipment first. A service business is not a factory; it can prove that people will pay before it spends anything on machines. In South Africa, where startup capital is scarce and demand for...
Press Centres and Production Links: China’s Quieter Media Play in Africa
The visible China-Africa media story is towers and dishes. The quieter one is people and programming – journalist exchanges, training cohorts and co-production deals that shape how stories get told.
Fertiliser procurement pools
Global food and input prices keep moving. Botswana farmers buying fertiliser one bag at a time pay the shock in full – which is why cooperative purchasing and storage reward those who pool.
Uganda by the Numbers: One Country Inside a 10,000-Village Promise
Continental pledges are hard to test. Uganda’s share of the satellite-TV rollout – 900 villages, 18,000 households – is small enough to count and large enough to judge the wider claim.
Renewable energy on farms
Botswana has signed energy and mineral exploration deals with Oman. The same logic that pulls national energy abroad is reaching the farm gate, where solar makes independence practical.
Regional grain trade
World trade rose again in April, a fresh sign of resilience. For a landlocked grain importer like Botswana, the steadiness of regional corridors is the price of bread.
Satellite Dishes in the Bush: Where Rural Television Becomes Information Access
A solar-powered dish on a village clinic looks like entertainment. The pitch behind it is something else – basic access to news, weather and public information for places the grid never reached.
Agri-digital payments
A cattle sale agreed by handshake still has to be paid, and cash on a remote road is its own risk. Trusted digital payment rails let Botswana’s farmers and traders settle deals they can verify.
10,000 Villages: How a TV Pledge Became Africa’s Largest Media-Access Test
A decade after Xi Jinping pledged satellite TV for 10,000 African villages, nearly all are connected. The screens arrived; the harder questions are about who controls what they show.
Beef traceability
Botswana’s beef earns its premium on trust as much as on taste. As export markets demand verifiable, disease-free supply chains, traceability becomes the country’s licence to keep selling.
Cold-chain investment
A harvest with nowhere to be stored is a harvest sold at the buyer’s price. Cold-chain investment lets Botswana farmers hold their produce until the market, not the spoilage clock, decides.
Training at Scale: China’s Bet on African Technicians and Officials
China is training African technicians and officials in the tens of thousands, with a 2025 target near 20,000. The pledges count people precisely and price them not at all.
Farm insurance
A single drought, outbreak or price crash can erase years of a Botswana farmer’s work. Agricultural insurance is the quiet infrastructure that lets a farm fail a season without failing for good.
Engineering Academies: FOCAC Reframes Schools as Workforce Infrastructure
At the 2024 FOCAC Summit China pledged an engineering technology academy, ten new Luban Workshops and about 60,000 training places. The framing treats schools as infrastructure.
Feed-cost pressure
The price of a Botswana chicken is decided partly in foreign grain markets. When global grain and fuel risks rise, feed costs climb and poultry, beef and dairy producers feel it first.
Horticulture import substitution
Botswana imports much of what it eats, so when global food prices climb, the country pays at the till for vegetables it could grow at home. Local horticulture turns that vulnerability into a plan.
