Podcasts about Gaborone

Túto epizódu som nahrával z Gaborone v Botswane. Do Afriky sa každý rok vracam podporiť konferenciu Aviadev – najväčšie podujatie o rozvoji leteckej dopravy v Afrike, ktoré môj kamarát Jon postavil z ničoho, bez investorov, najmä vďaka vytrvalosti.Tu som sa stretol aj s mužom, ktorý ako bývalý ošetrovateľ z Anglicka odišiel dobrovoľníčiť do Zambie, dostal tam maláriu, takmer na ňu zomrel – a po uzdravení už plánuje ďalšiu misiu.Oba príbehy mi pripomenuli jedno: roky plynú a sny, ktoré odkladáme „na neskôr", často zostanú navždy zatvorené. Dokonalý čas nepríde nikdy.Support the showChcem ťa poprosiť o pomoc.

What does a safari look like when the guide isn't a man? Award-winning writer and editor Ellen Carpenter went to Botswana's Okavango Delta to find out. (To learn more, read her Afar story about the experience.) Meet this week's guests Ellen Carpenter is a New York–based culture and travel journalist. She served as editor in chief of Hemispheres, United's inflight magazine, for seven years, and before that was an editor at Rhapsody, Nylon, Spin, and Rolling Stone. Baemule "Bae" Siethuka, 32, grew up in Tutume in northeastern Botswana and was working in HR when she saw African Bush Camps' guiding program posted on Facebook. She became the program's first graduate in 2025 and is now a junior guide at Atzaró Okavango. Tshidi Phalaagae, 28, is a trainee guide from Gaborone, Botswana's capital — a true city girl who came to the program with, in her words, "zero knowledge of nature." At the time of Ellen's visit, she was just a few weeks shy of graduating. Jessica Motshegwa, 26, is a trainee guide from Mmadinare, Botswana, who joined the program in 2025. She once tried to enlist in the Botswana army. A Facebook link from her cousin changed her path. In this episode you'll learn Why more than 90 percent of African safari guides are male — and what one company is doing about it How African Bush Camp(ABC)'s three-year female guiding program works, from theory exams to practical training to first solo drives What it was like for Bae, ABC's first female guide, to complete her training while pregnant — and earn her license when her son was six months old Why Dutch Kasale, ABC's head guide and mentor, says training women from the city is often easier than training men who grew up in the bush What makes a female guide's approach on the game drive feel different The moment Bae manifests a leopard into view About African Bush Camps ABC was founded in 2006 by Beks Ndlovu, one of a handful of Black Africans to own a safari company. He launched the female guiding program in late 2021 with an ambitious goal: 50 percent female guides across all 18 camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia by 2030. There are currently 12 women in the program — eight trainees and four qualified guides.

In dieser Folge von MainAthlet – Der Leichtathletik Podcast spricht Benjamin mit Owe Fischer-Breiholz über seinen Saisonstart 2026, seinen Einstieg über die 300 Meter Hürden in Pliezhausen, die nächsten Schritte über 400 Meter Hürden und seine Erfahrungen bei den World Relays in Gaborone.Owe Fischer-Breiholz gehört zu den spannendsten deutschen Athleten über die 400 Meter Hürden. 2025 lief er mit 48,01 Sekunden persönliche Bestzeit über 400 Meter Hürden und wird bei World Athletics als European U23 champion und National champion geführt. In Pliezhausen startete er nun mit starken 34,80 Sekunden über die bestenlistenfähigen 300 Meter Hürden in die Saison 2026. Der Meetingbericht nennt diese Leistung als neue Hürdenrekordleistung bei den Männern; zusätzlich gewann Owe auch die Variante bis zur achten Hürde in 35,27 Sekunden. Im Gespräch erklärt Owe, warum Pliezhausen für ihn mehr war als nur ein lockerer Saisoneinstieg. Er spricht über Technik, Rhythmus, die Körperposition vor der Hürde und darüber, warum er sich gegen einen Start über 600 Meter und für zwei Hürdenrennen entschieden hat. Besonders spannend: Owe kommt ursprünglich eher von den längeren Strecken, sogar die 800 Meter spielen in seiner sportlichen Geschichte eine Rolle. Trotzdem fühlt er sich inzwischen auf den 400 Meter Hürden zuhause und will dort den nächsten Schritt machen.Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage: Was braucht es, damit aus 48,01 Sekunden eine 47er-Zeit wird? Owe sieht den größten Hebel nicht auf den letzten 100 Metern, sondern in der ersten Rennhälfte. Wenn er dort mehr Geschwindigkeit mitnehmen kann, könnte auch der Schluss schneller werden. Dazu spricht er über seine starke Trainingsgruppe mit Joshua Abuaku und Emil Agyekum, über Konkurrenz im Training und darüber, warum sich die 400 Meter Hürden trotz Einzelstart manchmal wie Teamsport anfühlen.Außerdem geht es um sein erstes 4x400-Meter-Staffelrennen überhaupt – direkt bei den World Relays. Owe erzählt, wie besonders es ist, an der Startlinie zu warten, während die Teamkollegen bereits unterwegs sind. Und er berichtet von einer kuriosen Geschichte: einer falsch ausgemessenen Startlinie in Botswana, durch die die zunächst starke Zeit der deutschen Männerstaffel später nicht mehr zählte. Zum Abschluss blickt Owe auf die kommenden Wettkämpfe in Rehlingen, Dresden, die Deutschen Meisterschaften und die Europameisterschaften 2026 in Birmingham. Sein klares Ziel: das EM-Finale.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

The World Athletics Relays wrapped up Sunday with world records, championship records, and the first automatic qualifiers secured for Budapest and Beijing 2027.Discussed in this episode:- Jamaica broke their own mixed 4x100m world record — 39.62 in the final- USA smashed the mixed 4x400m championship record — 3:07.47- Host nation Botswana won the men's 4x400m in 2:54.47 — third fastest in history — in front of a packed home crowd described as one of the best atmospheres in recent track memory- Norway stunned the field in the women's 4x400m with a world-leading national record of 3:20.96- The race of the meet: The men's 4x400m final produced one of the most jaw-dropping relay performances ever. Botswana (2:54.47), South Africa (2:55.07), and Australia (2:55.20) went 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all time. The world record of 2:54.29 — set by the US in 1993 — survives, but barely. All three anchors were shoulder to shoulder on the final bend before Botswana's Collen Kebinatshipi pulled away with what witnesses described as otherworldly closing speed.- The split that turned heads: South African sprinter Lythe Pillay ran a 42.66 relay split — a stunning leg for an athlete whose individual PB coming in was 44.31.- The lane 3 controversy Another story emerged from Day 1 of the World Relays — and it's a troubling one. Belgian coach Bram Peters posted photographic evidence that the starting line for lane 3 in the 4x400m heats was incorrectly placed, meaning teams in that lane ran short of the full 400 meters.- Why USATF skipped the men's and women's 4x400m – USATF didn't send men's or women's 4x400 teams to Gaborone — and the reasoning is more logical than it might seem.- Allyson Felix announces comeback – Felix announced via TIME that she's coming out of retirement to pursue the 2028 LA Olympics at 42, calling it “Project Six.” Felix's last season best was 50.71 at age 36 in 2022.Mentioned in this episode: These are the questions I would ask the Enhanced Games … if they would let me by Sean Ingle via The Guardian____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

Somalia has accused the United Arab Emirates of undermining its sovereignty, including allegedly facilitating Israel's recognition of Somaliland, which Somalia considers part of its territory. In response, Mogadishu has canceled all agreements with the UAE, from ports to defence, raising questions about trade and security. We then turn to Botswana, following a recent visit by American YouTuber IShowSpeed to the Diamond Trading Centre in Gaborone, where he held a rough diamond and asked if he could buy it. Botswana's diamonds are a major part of national wealth, but acquiring them in raw form is strictly regulated. We explore what you need to know about these gems.

In this edition of the COSAFA Show, we chat to former Botswana international Dipsy Selolwane about football development ahead of the CAF African Schools Football Championship | COSAFA Qualifier that starts in Stellenbosch on Friday.We also get fascinating insights from renowned football performance analyst Musi Matlaba, who has worked at some of the biggest clubs on the continent and is among the finest in his field.He breaks down the work of an analyst and what goes into preparing teams for a match in an interview not to be missed.But first, Selolwane gives us his insights into school football on the continent and the academy he is running in Gaborone, which could prove a game-changer for aspiring players in Botswana.In the second segment, Matlaba, who has worked for the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly in Africa, as well as several teams in the Middle East in the role of football performance analyst, offers an intriguing perspective on how teams are using data to prepare for matches.

In der Podcastreihe „Globale Zukünfte“ fragt Michael, ob es Orte auf der Welt gibt, von denen aus sich die großen Krisen unserer Zeit – Klima, Politik, Gesellschaft – neu denken lassen. Fünf Länder auf fünf Kontinenten sollten dafür den Blick weiten. Die letzte Station führt nach Botswana: ein Land, das viele kaum verorten können – und das gerade deshalb überrascht.Botswana wirkt wie ein afrikanisches Paradox. Gesprächspartner Thilo Schöne, Leiter der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Gaborone, beschreibt ein Land, das sich aus bitterer Armut heraus zu Stabilität und relativer Wohlhabenheit manövriert hat – ohne den typischen „Ressourcenfluch“ zu erliegen. Diamanten wurden hier nicht zum Motor von Korruption und Oligarchie, sondern zur Grundlage von Infrastruktur, Bildung und öffentlicher Versorgung. Ein Staatsfonds nach norwegischem Vorbild, ein klug verhandeltes 50-50-Modell mit De Beers und eine politische Elite der ersten Generation, die Entwicklung vor Selbstbereicherung stellte, haben ein seltenes Fenster geöffnet: Rohstoffreichtum als gesellschaftlicher Gewinn.Dieser Erfolg ruht jedoch auf einer zweiten, tieferen Säule: einer demokratischen Kultur, die älter ist als die koloniale Moderne. Konsenssuche, lokale Versammlungen, Machtteilung zwischen Chiefs und Räten – Botswanas politische Tradition hat demokratische Elemente hervorgebracht, bevor Demokratie zum Exportbegriff wurde. Streit wird hier nicht als Sieg der Mehrheit über eine Minderheit gedacht, sondern als gemeinsames „talk it out“ bis eine Lösung tragfähig ist. Das Ergebnis ist ein Land, das nach außen ruhig wirkt: wenig Aggression im öffentlichen Raum, hohe Toleranz im politischen Wettbewerb, eine fast unaufgeregte Normalität des Zusammenlebens.Gleichzeitig steht Botswana heute an einer Schwelle. Die Abhängigkeit von Diamanten wird zur gefährlichen Einseitigkeit, seit der Weltmarkt schwächelt. Vor allem junge Menschen spüren das als Zukunftskrise: „Jobs, Jobs, Jobs“ ist der Ruf einer Generation, die auf Teilhabe wartet. Arbeitslosigkeit, Perspektivlosigkeit und ein wachsender Frust, der sich nicht in Straßenprotesten entlädt, sondern nach innen kippt – in Depression, Alkoholismus, Gewalt. Hinter dem Bild des „Juwels“ liegen Wunden, die lange übersehen wurden. Gerade hier wird Zukunft zur Frage, ob das Land seine eigene Erfolgsgeschichte modernisieren kann.Botswana ist damit kein idyllischer Ausnahmefall, sondern ein Lernraum. Ein Land, das zeigt, dass demokratischer Fortschritt möglich ist – und dass Stabilität immer wieder neu erfunden werden muss. Die Bereitschaft zur Reform, die neue Regierung und starke zivilgesellschaftliche Kräfte jetzt sichtbar machen, wirkt wie ein Angebot an uns alle: Institutionen nicht nur zu verteidigen, sondern mutig zu erneuern, bevor sie brüchig werden.Zu Gast:Thilo Schöne, Leiter der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung BotswanaCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrMentioned in this episode:The Elephant Festival 2026 – Jetzt Ticket sichern!13.

Depuis qu'Anglo American, sa maison mère, a décidé de se séparer de la société diamantaire et de la mettre en vente au mois de juin dernier, la course pour sa reprise est lancée. Plusieurs repreneurs se sont manifestés, parmi lesquels figurent au moins deux États africains.  Ce n'est pas une surprise, le Botswana, dont les exportations reposent à 80 % sur le diamant, est candidat au rachat de De Beers. Gaborone détient déjà 15 % du groupe, mais souhaite aujourd'hui prendre une participation majoritaire. Le président botswanais l'a réaffirmé il y a encore quelques jours.  L'Angola est également sur les rangs et a fait comprendre que son ambition était parfaitement alignée avec la proposition du Botswana, après avoir initialement laisser entendre vouloir aussi une part majoritaire. Les tensions sont aplanies, mais à voir jusqu'à quand.  La Namibie serait potentiellement un troisième pays intéressé, mais l'information donnée par la presse namibienne a été démentie en début de semaine par le gouvernement qui assure qu'aucune proposition n'a été approuvée par le conseil des ministres. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que le projet n'existe pas. Il n'est peut-être tout simplement pas assez avancé pour être rendu public. De potentiels repreneurs indiens et qatariens D'autres investisseurs se sont aussi lancés dans la course. Parmi eux, d'anciens cadres de De Beers mais également, selon l'agence Reuters, plusieurs entreprises diamantaires indiennes (KGK Group et Kapu Gems) et des fonds d'investissement qatariens. On cite également un milliardaire qui possède des mines en Zambie et en Afrique du Sud. À ce stade, Anglo American n'a communiqué sur aucune proposition. Si offre il y a eu, cela s'est fait dans la plus grande discrétion, confie un fin connaisseur du secteur. À quel prix acheter De Beers ? L'avenir des propositions de reprise est aussi lié à la valeur de De Beers. La capacité financière des futurs acquéreurs est en effet un paramètre de base, mais le montant à débourser est l'autre donnée qui va avec. Au niveau comptable, Anglo American valorise De Beers à 4,9 milliards de dollars, après avoir dû diminuer la valeur de l'entreprise de 3,5 milliards de dollars dans son bilan. De Beers a encore affiché une perte de 189 millions de dollars au premier semestre 2025 en raison de la mauvaise santé du secteur diamantaire. L'entreprise a réduit sa production et baissé ses prix pour écouler ses stocks. « De Beers perd entre 1,5 et 2 millions de dollars par jour », résume un industriel. Une donnée qui devrait tirer le montant des offres vers le bas.  Le PDG d'Anglo American espérait, en février, avoir pratiquement achevé la vente de De Beers d'ici fin 2025. Rien ne permet aujourd'hui de dire que ces délais pourront être tenus.

Giyani Metals Corp (TSX-V:EMM, OTC:CATPF) CEO Charles FitzRoy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress in securing financing and advancing its manganese operations. The company has received a letter of interest from the Export–Import Bank (EXIM) of the United States for a potential loan of up to $225 million over 15 years. FitzRoy explained, “This is a very positive step forward for Giyani.” He emphasized that while the offer remains subject to due diligence and the completion of its definitive feasibility study (DFS), the long-term nature of the loan could significantly lower annual payments. Giyani is actively pursuing offtake agreements, especially with US companies. FitzRoy confirmed that sample oxide products have already been shipped to potential offtakers, with High-Purity Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate (HPMSM) production scheduled for Q3 this year. He noted, “There is a big shift in the US towards higher manganese content,” referencing breakthroughs by major US automakers such as Ford and GM. The DFS remains on track for completion in Q1 2026, following adjustments informed by the company's demonstration plant operations in Johannesburg. FitzRoy described the demonstration plant as “the largest of its kind outside of China for battery manganese,” which has provided valuable insights for the DFS. FitzRoy spoke from Botswana, where he attended the Future Minerals Summit in Gaborone. He highlighted strong government and local support for Giyani's fully integrated mine-to-market beneficiation model, with all production processes remaining within Botswana.

Wir sind mal wieder im Trainingslager und zwar in Cervia. Hier reden Fritz, Niki und Flo über das Leben von Fritz während die beiden in Südafrika waren. Dabei steht natürlich sein grandioser Halbmarathon im Fokus. Wie hat es sich angefühlt Gesa zu überholen? Hat sein Coach Felix H. an ihn geglaubt? Und wie war die After Race Party? Am Ende geht es auf Grund von Zeitmangel leider nur kurz über Niki seinen Trip nach Gaborone.

Wir blicken in der Folge natürlich zurück auf ein sehr kurzweiliges und erfolgreiches Trainingslager. Wir haben die 4 Wochen alle sehr gut überstanden. Flo ist ein wenig enttäuscht von seinem Kilometerdurchschnitt, Niki hatte ein paar Tage Magenprobleme und Julius ist einfach nur happy mit seinem abgeschlossenen Master. Danach gibt es ein paar News, Niki wird nämlich noch ein paar Tage länger in Dullstroom bleiben und direkt zum Gold Meeting nach Gaborone reisen um dort 3000m Hindernis zu laufen. Wie es dazu kam und auch was wir zu Fritz seinem Halbmarathon sagen, erfahrt ihr in der Folge.

Air Botswana is optimisties oor sy groeivooruitsigte in die streek, veral in Namibië, ná die bekendstelling van geskeduleerde vlugte tussen Gaborone en Windhoek in November 2024. Die lugredery het reeds meer as 600 passasiers op hierdie roete vervoer. Nog 'n faktor wat Namibië vir Air Botswana posisioneer, is die hordes toeriste wat na die land stroom. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het reaksie ontvang van Nathaly Ahrens, die voorsitter van die Toer- en Safarivereniging van Namibië, wat hoop op meer direkte vlugte na Botswana.

Botswana's new president has promised to restore some rights, which were taken away from the Bushmen, an indigenous tribe of hunters and gatherers found across southern Africa. This week, the government allowed the tribe to bury a tribesman who died in 2021 on the group's ancestral land, ending a drawn-out impasse. Mqondisi Dube reports from the capital, Gaborone

Die Business School of Excellence, in samewerking met die Afrika Sekuriteitsbeurse Vereniging, ASEA, bied die 27ste ASEA-uitvoerende komiteevergadering en konferensie in Gaborone, Botswana aan. Die konferensie is die vereniging se vlagskipinisiatief en bevat aanbiedings en paneelbesprekings oor aktuele kwessies wat Afrika-kapitaalmarkte in die gesig staar. Die sowat 300 afgevaardigdes sluit in ASEA-lede, beleidmakers, prominente kapitaalmarkkundiges en entrepreneurs van regoor die wêreld. Tiaan Bazuin, die uitvoerende hoof van die Namibië Sekuriteitsbeurs, is een van die sprekers. Hy het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat oor wat tot dusver bespreek is.

Botswana's new president, President Duma Boko, has promised zero tolerance for graft in his administration. The pledge comes as scores of Botswana residents join in youth-led anti-corruption protests, urging the government to prosecute former officials accused of looting public coffers. Mqondisi Dube reports from the capital, Gaborone.

“Tug at my jacket – tell me what needs to be done.”Later today, Botswana's newly-elected president, Duma Boko, will be inaugurated in Gaborone – but he still found time this week for a discussion of his agenda with Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje.In a wide ranging discussion he talks about signing a new deal with global diamond giant De Beers, how he wants to help people to become entrepreneurs, and why he wants to grant permits to undocumented Zimbabweans to make the system more ‘orderly' and to allow Batswana to acquire more skills.He also argues that politicians need to be more accessible if they are to do their jobs.

Botswana's newly elected leader, Duma Boko, says Africa can draw vital lessons from his country's smooth transfer of power. This, after the Botswana Democratic Party, which had ruled the country since independence in 1966, suffered a crushing defeat in last week's elections. Mqondisi Dube reports from Gaborone

Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has defended the country's electoral body amid criticism of its preparedness with Wednesday's early voting. It has been marred by a slow process and inadequate voting booths. Masisi, who is seeking a second and final term, told journalists after casting his vote that he is confident of victory. Mqondisi Dube reports from Gaborone

Botswana's electoral body has warned opposition parties against what it calls “reckless” claims of poll rigging ahead of the October 30th general election. A coalition of opposition parties accuse the country's Independent Electoral Commission of, among other infractions, adding deceased persons on the voter roll. Mqondisi Dube reports from Gaborone, Botswana

Sometimes, very rarely, a TV show comes along that captures people's imagination. The TV show Yellowstone has grown into a cultural phenomenon. And one of those unknown actors has become one the shows most beloved stars.Denim Richards stars as Colby, a faithful cowboy on the Yellowstone ranch, which is run by rancher John Dutton, aka Kevin Costner. It's an all-American show. So why invite Denim on Limitless Africa? Well, four years ago he decided to make a new life for himself and move from California to Botswana. Now he runs successful production companies in Gaborone and Johannesburg, runs masterclasses for actors all over the continent, and has just been named director for Media, Arts and Culture for the African Union.

Die ongevraagde aanbiedinge wat Botswana van beleggers ontvang wat belangstel om ‘n spoorlyn na Walvisbaai te bou, bly in die nuus. Die spoorlyn sal as ‘n alternatief vir Suid-Afrika se sukkelende logistieke netwerk dien en sal van Gaborone, deur die Kalahari-woestyn tot by Gobabis en Walvisbaai aan die Atlantiese Oseaan loop. Die woordvoerder van TransNamib, Abigail Raubenheimer, sê die spoor sal meer handelsmarkte op die vasteland oopmaak.

In episode 282 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed reflecting on the power of light, and why more people should attend academic photography conferences. Plus this week, photographer Dillon Marsh takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Dillon Marsh is a South African photographer who currently lives in Cape Town, the city of his birth. Surrounded by the breath-taking landscapes of his native country, he developed a deep appreciation for the natural world at an early age. This has inspired his artistic practice, leading him to explore the tenuous relationship between humans and the world we inhabit. The range of subjects he focusses on is varied, from macro photos of seeds that hitch rides using hooks and barbs, to aerial photos of giant patterns ploughed along the desolate west coast of South Africa. His practice has also seen him explore termite mounds in Gaborone, and the snow-covered peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. However, he is perhaps best known for his series For What It's Worth in which he combines photography and computer-generated elements to examine the impact that the mining industry has had in his home country. Marsh has exhibited his work internationally and is currently working on several new projects that he plans to publish as books. https://dillonmarsh.com Dr. Grant Scott is the founder/curator of United Nations of Photography, a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, a working photographer, documentary filmmaker, BBC Radio contributor and the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Routledge 2014), The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Routledge 2015), New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography (Routledge 2019). His film Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay was first screened in 2018 www.donotbendfilm.com. He is the presenter of the A Photographic Life and In Search of Bill Jay podcasts. Scott's next book Condé Nast Have Left The Building: Six Decades of Vogue House will be published by Orphans Publishing in the Spring of 2024. © Grant Scott 2023

Ahead of the 6th Africa Tourism Leadership Forum and Awards slated for the 4-6 October in Gaborone, Botswana, I caught up with Dan Dsouza, a speaker and a  global leader in corporate innovation, with expertise in fostering corporate venturing and start-up creation.

Gothataone Moeng says she knows the characters in her collection of short stories, Call and Response. They bear similarities to her sisters, cousins, and aunties – but they're their own reflections of life, love, shame, expectations and joy in Gaborone and Serowe, Botswana. In today's episode, Moeng talks to NPR's Scott Simon about some of the different lessons her protagonists are learning, and how spending time back home in her village after a long time away reopened doors to a rhythm of life she'd almost forgotten about.

Georgina Godwin speaks to writer Gothataone Moeng about her highly anticipated new collection of short stories ‘Call and Response'. Set between the rural village of Serowe and the capital Gaborone; the book tells stories of ordinary life in contemporary Botswana.

Many people across the continent rely on generators when the electricity supply is unreliable in their countries. Blackouts or planned loadshedding have become common in Zimbabwe and South Africa, leaving families without power for hours at a time. But neighbouring Botswana is hoping to change all of that. Botswana Power Corporation – the state owned energy provider – has been working to generate additional power for some time. And the government in Gaborone is hoping to sell it to neighbouring countries. So, could this be a mutually beneficial arrangement for countries in southern Africa? #Africa Daily

Welcome to Episode #15 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Bonolo Phaladze onto the show. She is a yoga studio owner and yoga teacher from Botswana. The way that Bonolo describes yoga, as a fairy godmother was such a surprise! But a delight to hear and to listen to her share her thoughts on yoga in Botswana and how yoga makes her feel. As a yoga studio owner of one of the few yoga studios in Botswana, Bonolo describes what it was like for her to find yoga herself, and her journey to find a yoga teacher— it was harder than she expected! Get ready for a fun conversation filled with laughter and creative analogies and metaphors! Yoga in Botswana, here we come! Tell me more about Bonolo Phaladze… Bonolo Phaladze is the founder and lead teacher at Yownn Yoga, a yoga studio based in Gaborone, Botswana. The studio offers yoga retreats in Southern Africa, and yoga classes both in person and online. Bonolo is a Registered Yoga Teacher, RYT200 with Yoga Alliance, she specializes in yoga for beginners primarily because the yoga scene in Botswana is relatively new, and there is a lot of work to be done to introduce more people to yoga. Bonolo's first encounter with yoga was not enthusiastic, it was a doctor's recommendation. In 2013 due to a high risk pregnancy she had no choice but to accede to her doctor's demands to abandon her regular high intensity train for something low impact and gentle like yoga. She was skeptical of yoga, maybe even judgmental, she had never once considered yoga a fitness activity. The first yoga session sparked a curiosity and respect in her that propelled her to keep returning to the mat. What to expect in the Yoga In Botswana episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Bonolo kicks off the conversation by revealing how she first came to yoga, as her bio indicates, it wasn't enthusiastically. She first saw people at the gym just lying around on their yoga mats (apparently!) and she judged yoga as something too boring and easy. Now, it is her passion to teach new students what yoga is and what yoga can be. As yoga in Botswana is still not mainstream, the majority of her students are new to the practice. She loves walking alongside her students on their journey of yoga and showing them that it is more than just handstands and headstands. The emotional and mental presence involved in yoga is where the magic lies. While yoga in Botswana may be relatively “unpopular” as its not mainstream yet, Bonolo describes Botswana as an oasis for those seeking peace, and as she jokes “a place to sleep.” Curious about yoga in Botswana?
