Bonno National Housing Programme
Yesterday in Palapye, the Bonno National Housing Programme was officially launched, a decisive step toward delivering 61,000 quality homes across all 61 constituencies.
This marks a shift from the traditional National Development Plan to a focused, results-driven National Transformation Plan, with a clear emphasis on real, tangible change for Batswana.
Access to housing is not a privilege it is a right. The Bonno Programme restores that right, offering not just shelter, but dignity, hope, and opportunity.

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.

President Advocate Duma Boko has officially launched the Botswana Economic Transformation Program (BETP), a bold national initiative aimed at revitalizing the country’s stagnant economy and reducing unemployment.
Speaking during the launch, President Boko acknowledged Botswana’s over-reliance on diamonds and widespread poverty, calling the current economic situation “a national inflection point.” He stressed the need for urgent reforms to diversify the economy and build resilience.
The President outlined a four-point agenda focused on shifting Botswana towards a services-led economy, establishing the country as a regional financial hub, leveraging its political stability to attract investment, and delivering sustainable, inclusive growth.
“Our transformation will not be slow – we will sprint,” said Boko, referencing global success stories like Dubai and Singapore as models.
The program also includes the introduction of economic transformation labs to fast-track investment opportunities and dismantle bureaucratic delays. To drive implementation, Botswana has partnered with Phemandu Associates, a world-renowned transformation firm, already working on the ground.
Progress will be tracked via a Presidential Delivery Dashboard, ensuring transparency and accountability across all ministries.
“This is not a plan for the privileged few. It’s for every citizen, every village, every town,” President Boko said.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to engage the business community from a wide variety of sectors in a high-level Business Engagement Forum.
During my Fireside Chat with the business community, I implored them to be intentional and proactive in bringing forth contributions to lawmaking.
Politicians and public servants do not know it all.
The invitation was to foster inward collaboration with domestic businesses to drive solutions for national development. Partnering with the trailblazing SOE Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) supported by Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC), and Business Botswana, discussions focused on economic revitalization and diversification, job creation and business efficiency.
This forum was about more than just economic revitalization, it was about empowering small businesses, which were also in attendance, showcasing remarkable products and demonstrating their potential to drive growth.
Thank you to the business community for heeding the call to engage. Special and hearty thank you to Mogoditshane Senior Secondary School Choir for the melodies and BSE Board Chairperson Ms Neo Mooki on her thoughtful donation to the choir.
Together, we are shaping a resilient and inclusive economy.
