AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

LGBTQ+ Rights in Court: The Evangelical Fellowship of Botswana has applied to join Botswana’s High Court constitutional challenge that could make the country only the second in Africa to legally recognise same-sex marriage, with a ruling on admission expected Sept. 4 and the main hearing set for Oct. 22–23. Church vs Culture Debate: The same case has drawn opposing applications from church bodies arguing for a traditional definition of marriage, keeping the national conversation on faith, law and society very much alive. Jobs and Skills Mobility: Botswana is exporting mining know-how, after a Labour and Home Affairs MoU with Naledi Mining Services to connect qualified Batswana to mining work regionally and internationally. Energy Costs: BERA has approved a 9% electricity tariff increase for 2026/27, effective Aug. 1, adding pressure to households already stretched by the cost of living. Sports & Community Pride: Botswana will host the official FIBA 3×3 Nations League—Africa South Conference in Gaborone, aiming to boost the pathway to LA 2028 Olympic qualification. Culture & Heritage: A Khoisan delegation arrived for the Embiveni Biggest Braai, with performances planned for learners and the main event celebrating one of Botswana’s oldest indigenous communities. Digital Mobility: Yango was named Southern Africa’s Most Reliable ride-hailing provider, operating across Botswana and other regional markets with added delivery and parcel services. Child Protection Alert: BONELA says child marriages persist in some communities, linking the practice to cultural and religious beliefs and noting school dropouts tied to marriage.
