Citizenship and identity: Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede told MPs that people labelled “aliens” are not citizens, and that even having a birth certificate does not automatically guarantee citizenship—clarifying how citizenship can depend on parents’ status, including cases involving Zimbabweans in Botswana and South Africa. Rehabilitation through sport: Botswana is rolling out a sport-based rehabilitation and reintegration programme in correctional facilities, launched at Mahalapye Female Prison under “Beyond the Bars: Healing Through Sport,” with a focus on women and children living with incarcerated mothers. Heritage outdoors: Dipidipidi Garden in Masebosebo, Gakgatla will host the inaugural bush fire festival and heritage hike to Legaga la ga Kobokwe (Kobokwe Cave) near Molepolole, combining early-morning guided walking with heritage talks and wellness activities. Disability visibility: A 50th birthday walk by Neo Roberta Nkele—“Strides of 50: Walking for Every Extra Chromosome”—took her from Francistown to Gaborone to challenge myths about Down syndrome and encourage families to seek support openly. Culture on stage: Gaborone-rooted folk-jazz act Sereetsi & The Natives is set to bring Botswana’s sound to South Africa’s UmanyanoLweJazz Festival in Johannesburg under the theme “Rooted.” Migration reassurance: Botswana’s ambassador to South Africa, Dr Sanji Monageng, said the June 30 deadline for undocumented foreign nationals is unlikely to trigger a major influx into Botswana, citing professional border monitoring and that many entries are transit rather than settlement.
