- Description
- Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) has reportedly lost over P88 million to copper cable theft in the past five years ,a figure recently shared in Parliament. But beyond the numbers lies a persistent and growing challenge: vandalism of critical infrastructure. Cable theft continues to cripple electricity supply, disrupt essential services and drain national resources. This discussion shifts the focus from parliamentary debate to the real issue , the widespread problem of infrastructure vandalism, its impact on national development and, importantly, how the public can play a more active role in combating it. With communities often being the first to witness suspicious activity, collective responsibility and public vigilance are key to protecting the country's vital infrastructure.

- IMPLICATIONS OF THE SA COURT RULING OVER PRESIDENT LUNGU'S BURIAL IN ZAMBIA On Friday, South Africa’s high court ordered that former Zambian President Edgar Lungu’s body be repatriated to Zambia for a state funeral, overruling his family’s wish to bury him in South Africa without the presence of his successor, President Hakainde Hichilema. The family opposed President Hichilema attending the funeral due to political rivalry, but the Zambian government insisted on a state funeral in Lusaka, following established protocol. The questions that arise are: How will this ruling affect political tensions between the current government and Lungu’s supporters and what are the wider implications for regional relations?

- COMBATING INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
- Runtime

- Date posted
- 11 months ago
- Description
- Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is becoming more common in Botswana, but responses are often shaped by stigma, affecting both survivors and those accused. Some survivors remain silent for fear of being judged or not believed, while others face various pressures that prevent them from speaking out. At the same time, individuals accused of IPV may experience social backlash even before the facts are established. These challenges make it harder for people to seek help and for communities to engage in open conversations about the issue. We discuss new research by the University of Botswana and the Botswana Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Support Centre, which explores how stigma influences help-seeking behavior and aims to foster honest, inclusive dialogue about the real barriers to support.

However, BOCONGO has rejected the bill, criticizing the process for lacking transparency, public consultation, and inclusive participation. The organization insists constitutional reforms must be people-led and grounded in democratic values. Invoking Section 89(3)(b), BOCONGO demands the immediate withdrawal of the bill and calls for a Botswana Constitution Review Act to ensure meaningful public engagement and protection of socio-economic rights. We discuss this and how future constitutional reforms can be made truly inclusive and representative of all Batswana.

This historic battle saw a powerful alliance of tribes including the Bahurutshe, Bangwaketse, Bakgatla, Bakwena, Balete, Barolong, and Batlhaping unite to resist Boer incursions. More than a cultural event, the festival serves as a living tribute to the spirit of unity, resilience, and cultural pride that defined the Botswana people’s fight for their land and dignity.

- Description
- On July 30th, Botswana convened a landmark judiciary conference under the theme “Upholding Human Rights Through Judicial Reforms and Accountability.” Over the course of three days, high-level stakeholders, including government leaders, judicial officers, legal professionals, civil society representatives and academics, gathered to reflect on the challenges facing the justice system and to chart a path forward. The conference produced bold ideas and ambitious plans, but the question that now arises is: Can these reforms be transformed into real, measurable improvements in justice for everyday Batswana? We discuss this and the conference’s key takeaways.
