Oil & Gas Update: ReconAfrica says Kavango West 1X production testing in Namibia is edging closer, with downhole testing expected to start before end-May; the plan covers six zones over 420 metres, includes a cement bond log first, and could run up to 60 days, with results due mid-to-late July. Regional Energy: South Africa’s electricity exports to eight neighbours—including Botswana—are forecast to bring in about R18.8bn for the year to 31 March 2026, as Eskom’s generation improves. Conservation & Tourism: South Africa and Botswana’s Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park gets an EU-funded push via African Parks and IUCN, aiming to strengthen biodiversity management and community resilience. Digital & Business: Botswana’s BTC launches “BTC Business” to package digital solutions for firms and institutions across Botswana and SADC, while Huawei reiterates the shift from connectivity to data-driven value. Governance Watch: Botswana’s Auditor General flags misuse of COVID-19 relief funds, including spending on parties and retreats. Sports & Culture: EU-backed Kgalagadi project launch coincides with regional attention on Botswana-linked events, from masters softball in Jwaneng to international athletics coverage.
