The new scramble for Botswana is about data

Last weekend I drove with my brother in law to his farm, not exactly deep into the dry cattle country, but rural enough for donkey carts to still share the road with cars, and for herd-boys to spend long dusty hours trailing cattle across the bush.

In the back seat of the bakkie was something his farm workers urgently needed. Not animal feed. Not fencing wire. Not paraffin. A smartphone.

Le ministre de l’équipement, le colonel major salissou mahamane salissou était face à la presse nationale pour présenter le bilan de son département ministériel. Le ministre a abordé plusieurs sujets d’intérêt commun et fustigé la corruption et la surfacturation qui caractérisaient l’ancien régime. Ainsi, plusieurs chantiers routiers structurants en cours de réalisation dans le pays ont été passés au peigne fin. Le plus surprenant de l’avis de plusieurs spécialistes, c’est l’ampleur des détournements financiers démasqués et le niveau d’incivisme destructeur de certains citoyens face aux investissements publics. Un internaute a soulevé certains points , les plus choquants dont entre autres, une “évaporation” colossale aux postes de péage : Le Ministre révèle qu’en renforçant simplement la surveillance, les recettes du Fonds d’Entretien Routier (FER) sont passées de 300 millions de FCFA au premier trimestre 2024 à 900 millions de FCFA au premier trimestre 2025.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has urged African governments to pursue a comprehensive aviation strategy focused on safety, cost-competitiveness, energy security and sustainability, and ease of doing business. This is expected to stimulate economic and social development, creating jobs, enabling trade, supporting tourism, and furthering regional integration. Kamil Alawadhi, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Africa and the Middle East, said the prosperity generated will allow governments to push forward social and economic development more durably than any tax that might be collected from travellers. While IATA acknowledged Africa’s progress made in aviation safety, demonstrated by the accident rate falling from 12.13 to 7.86 per million sectors, the figure remains above the global average of 1.32. To address this, IATA highlighted the Collaborative Aviation Safety Improvement Programme (CASIP). This is designed to increase the implementation of International Civil Aviation Organisation Standards and Recommended Practices, since the average implementation across 46...
