AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Gaborone Book Festival returns: After a three-year pause, the Gaborone Book Festival (GBF) is back from 20–22 August, with author talks, launches and sales plus a new children’s writing workshop for about 50 learners from low-income communities, and an environment-focused programme meant to keep books at the centre of national conversations. Botswana in the spotlight: President Duma Boko’s blunt relationship advice to Defence Force members—urging people not to stay in unhealthy unions—has sparked wide debate across Africa about marriage, respect and safety. Culture meets community: Botswana’s creative energy also shows up in sport and heritage—like the planned return of a Botswana athletics training camp to Cottage Grove, and regional culture festivals that frame heritage as an economic driver. Travel and visas (regional): Botswana is listed among countries getting visa-free access to Spain for short stays, while other African nations see shifting visa-free rules across the region. Mental health watch: WHO data flags Southern Africa as a suicide hotspot, with Botswana among the higher-rate countries in the regional ranking.
