Six records every household employer should actually keep
Memory is not a record system. Most South African households that employ a cleaner keep the whole arrangement in their heads - what was agreed, what gets paid, when leave was taken - and it works right up until the day it does not. When a dispute reaches the CCMA, or...
The Food Security Founder
Content - Magazine Editions · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 Food security is usually told as a story of shortage; less often as a story of the operators quietly closing the gaps. With the FAO Food Price Index tracking the steady movement of...
The Energy-Literate Founder
Content - Reports & Special Editions · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 Most owners can read a profit-and-loss statement but not an energy bill's underlying risk, and the second increasingly drives the first. As Botswana signed energy...
The Exporter Readiness Checklist
Content - Books & Guides · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 Demand rarely waits for a firm to get ready; it rewards the ones already prepared when it arrives. With world trade rising in April in a fresh sign of resilience, the question for...
The Africa Thinks Here Index
Content - Voices & Podcasts · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 A magazine can publish hundreds of stories and still leave a reader asking the only question that matters: where is the opportunity. As the WTO's leading indicator pointed...
The Afrophobia Risk Premium Has Entered South Africa’s Investment Case
Anti-migrant instability is entering South Africa’s country-risk pricing. How investment committees can add a social-stability trigger before markets reprice.
Business-cycle planning
The World Bank cut its global growth outlook to 2.5 percent and warned of a drop to 1.3 percent if war fallout spreads – a reminder Botswana plans inside a cycle it does not control.
Year of Exchanges: Africa and China bet ties between people outlast concrete
China has built more than 10,000 km of African railway. Its quieter wager for 2026 is that scholarships and training, not freight tonnage, decide whether the relationship endures.
Diamond-to-energy transition
In the same year diamonds pressured Botswana’s ratings, the country signed solar and mineral exploration deals with Oman – a quiet pivot from one mineral story to several.
SADC trade logic
As global trade routes grew less predictable, regional cooperation stopped being optional. For landlocked Botswana, SADC is not sentiment – it is logistics.
Green Development: From Side Project to the Centre of China-Africa Energy
Solar fields in Morocco, wind farms in South Africa, hydropower in Uganda – China’s clean-energy projects in Africa have moved from the margins to the mainstream of the relationship.
Investment geography shift
Capital moved toward mining, energy and resilient African assets. The map of global investment is being redrawn – and Botswana has to argue its way onto it.
Agricultural Modernisation: The Summit Pledge Africa Has Heard Before
From the 2006 FOCAC to the 2024 Beijing plan, China keeps promising experts, demonstration centres and modernised farms. The repetition is the point – and the problem.
Energy import risk
A fuel disruption in the Middle East showed how fast an oil shock can reach African inflation. Botswana, importing every litre it burns, has no buffer except policy.
Global electronics demand
AI-related goods propped up global trade and import demand. Botswana buys that hardware rather than makes it – which is the point, and the opportunity.
Talent Development: How Luban Workshops Became a Policy Pillar, Not a Footnote
Vocational schools and training pledges have moved from the margins of China-Africa policy to a named pillar – with real numbers attached and real questions about who they serve.
Non-mining growth urgency
Budget and rating commentary kept returning to one demand: grow the economy outside mining. For Botswana the urgency is no longer theoretical – it is the difference between a rebound and a relapse.
South-South Exchange: China-Africa Ties as Knowledge, Not Only Capital
The roads and ports dominate the headlines, but the more durable transfer between China and Africa may be training, research centres and technical know-how.
Debt-ceiling credibility
Botswana’s fiscal plan contemplated breaching its own debt ceiling rather than cutting harder. That choice is a test of the credibility a country spends years building and minutes losing.
Africa as next growth engine
The IMF’s Africa chief sketched the continent’s long-run promise while warning of near-term shocks. For Botswana, both halves of that sentence are the planning brief.
