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.

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.

Dialogue with Leaders of State-Owned Enterprises
Today I met with leaders of State-Owned Enterprises, vital arms of the government’s commercial machinery to align on national priorities and a renewed focus on delivery.
I announced the launch of a National Transformation Programme, to be completed in 12 weeks. Unlike the National Development Plan, this initiative will focus on actionable projects with clear output goals, developed through broad stakeholder engagement.
A Project Delivery Unit has been established in the Office of the President to ensure timely execution and accountability.
With a results-driven mindset, our SOEs can help drive Botswana’s transformation.

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.

Khuduthamaga Traditional Troupe, alongside dance groups from across the nation, came together in powerful unity to send off one of them, their beloved brother, Molebedi Tshiamo, with the rhythm of tradition and the spirit of community.
Through heartfelt songs and dances, they honored his memory in the most personal way—turning grief into celebration, sorrow into strength.Though Tshiamo may be gone, his legacy lives on in every step, every drumbeat, and every voice raised in his name.
💔✨ To his family, friends, and the Khuduthamaga family—may you find comfort in these bonds of culture and the love that surrounds you. Rest in peace, Tshiamo🙏

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.
