AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Botswana LGBTQ+ rights in court: A Botswana couple, Bonolo Selelo and Tsholofelo Kumile, has launched a legal bid to legalise same-sex marriage after a local office told them it wasn’t lawful; hearings are set for 14–15 July, with the case facing strong opposition from government and traditional and church groups. Constitutional debate heats up: Botswana’s civil society is pushing back on proposed Constitutional Court reforms, warning that gaps in the bill—like no guaranteed quorum—could let one judge decide major human-rights cases. Faith and gender shifts: The Church of the Province of Central Africa ordained the first women priests in Botswana, with 14 women taking ordination in Gaborone. Culture, memory, and belonging: A Botswana Gazette piece says Mogae’s funeral procession revived an old roadside custom—people sitting when a procession passes—arguing culture can’t be “branded away.” Regional backdrop: South Africa’s anti-migrant protests are spilling into diplomacy, with ambassadors reportedly planning to boycott an Africa Day event.
