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.

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.

As government and civil society, we are not immune to the threat of money laundering. It is a sobering reality that some institutions established to combat this very crime have, at times, become complicit in perpetuating it. We must therefore subject ourselves to rigorous scrutiny, strengthen our regulatory frameworks, and enforce stringent penalties to eliminate any opportunities for money laundering.

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 🔥

Recently, I was honored to be part of President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko's delegation, where we participated at the 2nd Session of the Namibia–Botswana Bi-National Commission (BNC), co-chaired by President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko, and Namibian President Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.
During the Bi-National, we signed 8 Memorandum of Understandings on Cooperation in various fields including energy resources; we further agreed on collaboration on natural resource management, beneficiation and the diamond sector.
The call to action from our Heads of States is clear; facilitate, invest, innovate and develop.

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.

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.
