The president says he could have chosen vengeance against those that wounded him, including the taxman, newspapers “I could have come after all of you, because the power is there, would it make sense?” He says he has chosen to become a wounded healer , that’s what he is 🔥

Had a great side conversation with President Hakainde Hichilema where we spoke about the importance of deepening the strategic partnership between Botswana and Zambia.
In 2023, Zambia imported $13.4M worth of salt, $10.8M of that from Botswana. This trade dynamic highlights the growing cooperation between our two nations, especially in key sectors like agriculture and food security. It also reflects the broader momentum of intra-African trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), as more countries turn to one another to meet their needs and drive sustainable development from within the continent.

Blood Parliament - BBC Africa Eye Documentary
On June 25th 2024, blood was spilt at Kenya’s parliament. That day, thousands of protestors headed there to stop the 2024 finance bill being passed into law. En-route they were met with tear gas, truncheons, and even gunfire. When they got there, and stormed the legislature, some of that gunfire turned lethal. At least three people were killed: students, shopkeepers, and Sunday school teachers. Since then, no one has been held to account for their deaths. Now, using open-source intelligence (OSINT) and forensic techniques, #bbcafricaeye can expose the men who spilled blood on the grounds of Kenya’s parliament.

New Dawn in Selebi Phikwe
Yesterday, we had a meaningful engagement with the residents of Selebi Phikwe. A topic that continues to weigh heavily is the closure of the BCL Mine. Undoubtedly one of the most unfortunate events in our recent history.
As we chart the way forward, the launch of the Commission of Inquiry represents a critical step towards truth, justice, and accountability.
Equally important were the rich ideas you shared on economic diversification. Where feasible, these ideas will be supported to come alive and drive sustainable development. The outstanding academic performance of Phikwe schools serves as a powerful reminder that giving up is not an option.
Though broken, we shall rise. We will rebuild. In three years, transformation must be visible. Together, we must make it happen.

This year, we mark World Malaria Day under the theme: “Malaria ends with us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite.” It is a powerful reminder that eliminating malaria requires renewed political will, sustained financial investment, and strong partnerships.
We must protect the hard-won gains and accelerate progress. The fight is far from over, but together, we can defeat malaria for good.

Yesterday, during a kgotla meeting in Kgagodi, I assured residents that the 10,000 hectares taken through a 2023 Presidential Directive will be returned to the community.
Restoring land to Kgagodi, Tamasane, Moremi, and Lesenepole is a matter of justice and dignity. I have advised government legal practitioners that this administration will not intimidate citizens over what is rightfully theirs.

Today, we convened for the 40th HATAB Annual Conference in our warm and welcoming town of Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders.
Held under the theme “Botswana Tourism: Exploring The Conditions For Growth,” the conference brought together tourism players, innovators, and stakeholders to shape the future of the sector.
In delivering the keynote address, I reaffirmed tourism as a national priority sector and reiterated government’s strong commitment to investing in infrastructure, transport, connectivity, and essential services.
Tourism plays a critical role in job creation, economic diversification, and community development and it is important that Botswana is always prepared to welcome the world. Our visitors can rest assured, we are ready.
