Rail Liberalisation in SA: Transnet says it’s ending more than a century of rail monopoly by signing 11 rail access agreements with private train operators, giving them access to 41 routes across key corridors and shifting slot allocation to an independent Rail Infrastructure Manager. Digital Push in Botswana: BTC launched “BTC Business,” a one-stop enterprise unit for integrated digital solutions across government, banking, mining, tourism, education, healthcare and more—while Huawei reiterates its support for Botswana’s next phase beyond connectivity. Fraud and Credit Pressure: New data flags digital fraud attempts rising in Canada (a reminder of the wider risk environment), and Botswana’s own credit picture looks soft, with household borrowing sluggish and defaults creeping in. FMD Vaccine Surge: South Africa added 2 million FMD vaccine doses from Turkey, lifting its stockpile and aiming to vaccinate 80% of cattle by end-2026. Botswana–Rwanda Trade Focus: Bilateral trade has dipped, but both sides are doubling down on ICT, tourism, financial services, manufacturing and agribusiness to revive deals.
