AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Public Finance Scrutiny: Botswana’s opposition says a South African tycoon Zunaid Moti-linked schools and clinics programme could expose taxpayers to over P20bn, while Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee weighs whether to summon the finance ministry permanent secretary for answers. Labour Pressure: BOFEPUSU and unions are demanding full disclosure of the African Hero partnership’s finances, legal terms, jobs and any future liabilities after President Duma Boko unveiled the first facility in Gaborone. Investment Push: Vice President Ndaba Gaolathe tells Korean investors to “test us” as Botswana targets $37bn in investment to build manufacturing, energy and AI capacity beyond diamonds. Trade Facilitation: DHL and Absa sign an MoU to expand the GoTrade programme across Sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to help SMEs trade and grow cross-border. EdTech Funding: Injini backs an $125,000 AI venture builder for early-stage teams across Southern Africa, with Botswana-based teams eligible. Agriculture Risk: El Niño-linked forecasts warn of drier-than-average conditions for Botswana’s Oct–Dec planting window, raising crop loss risks. Wildlife & Environment: Wilderness expands environmental education at Tshwaragano Primary School via a renewed MoU, boosting BIHL Trust funding. Consumer Safety: Isuzu D-Max RG19 bakkies exported to Botswana are recalled over a possible loose brake pedal pivot pin; free inspection and repairs urged. Mining/Processing: Sandfire Resources highlights record revenue and improved performance from its copper operations, including Botswana. Diamonds Trade: Reports say diamond exports and imports are declining at double-digit rates.
