    OSAC Country Security Report Botswana Last Updated: July 28, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Botswana at Level 4, indicating that travelers should not travel to Botswana due to COVID-19. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Botswana 41 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a High state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Gaborone as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Botswana. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Criminal incidents, particularly crimes of opportunity (e.g., purse snatchings, smash-and-grabs from parked cars and in traffic, residential burglaries), can occur regardless of location. Theft of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other mobile devices are common. Criminals can be confrontational. Criminals often arm themselves with knives or blunt objects (e.g., tools, shovels, bats). Botswana has strict gun-control laws, but criminals reportedly smuggle firearms from neighboring countries where weapons are inexpensive and readily available. A public awareness campaign highlights this issue and requests the public report illegal firearms to the police. Reporting indicates instances of non-violent residential burglaries and violent home invasions. Incidents affect local residents, expatriates, and visitors alike. Robberies and burglaries tend to spike during the holiday seasons.

  • 'Thuzoski' Letlhoma, 1972-2020 Botsalo Ntuane∗ in 1979 the Buggle
    BNR Online ISSN: 2709-7374 Nothing Will Ever Kill The Radio Star! Tribute to Thuso ‘Thuzoski’ Letlhoma, 1972-2020 Botsalo Ntuane∗ In 1979 The Buggles released a hit song titled, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’. As the country mourns the death of famed announcer Thuso Letlhoma, himself a star on the national broadcaster, avid listener Botsalo Ntuane pays tribute by going down memory lane on the times and magic of Radio Botswana. Connoisseurs of sound now live in a time of online streamed content where one can obtain their music fix from a variety of service platforms. The latest fans actually never get to touch and feel the record they are buying. Before streaming there was an invention called the compact disc (CD) player. Fragile and expensive looking, when it first hit our shores, we could only marvel at it. To own a CD player was the trendiest thing ever. I remember the first guy in our residence block at the University of Botswana. Always reserved and unassuming, he got on with everyone else, never forgetting he was there for education and not the extra curricular activities some of us reveled in. If he was not at lectures he was in the library. When his room door was slightly ajar he would be sitting at the study desk, swotting up like a model child who received serious sermon when he left home about the purpose of education. Rumour had it his cousin was studying in the United States. From his baggy, Rap style clothing there must have been merit to the claim.

  • Botswana’S Government, Stated at a July 2012 Sitting of Parliament, “A Freedom-Of-Information Law Should Be More About What Should Be Kept Secret Than Revealed.”
    Minister of Presidential Affairs and Public Administration Mokgweetsi Masisi, who is responsible for media in Botswana’s government, stated at a July 2012 sitting of parliament, “A freedom-of-information law should be more about what should be kept secret than revealed.” BOTSWANA 18 MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2012 INTRODUCTION OVERALL SCORE: 2.02 BOTSWANA Botswana has received accolades throughout the country’s history for its democratic credentials and has been dubbed the shining example of democracy in Africa. The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has had an overwhelming majority since the country’s independence from the United Kingdom in 1966. However, Bas more African countries attained independence, Botswana’s democracy proved to be less progressive. Academics have described Botswana as a “minimalist democracy” and not a participatory democracy because, apart from holding elections every five years, the country has failed to enact laws that empower the citizenry to have a more active and meaningful role in the running of their country. An example of this deficiency is the absence of freedom-of-information legislation in the country. Minister of Presidential Affairs and Public Administration Mokgweetsi Masisi, who is responsible for media in Botswana’s government, stated at a July 2012 sitting of parliament, “A freedom-of-information law should be more about what should be kept secret than revealed.” This position, indicative of secrecy in government, has led people to lose confidence in the government’s decisions. In addition, as reported by The Botswana Gazette in April 2011, there appears to have been a rise in corruption of late, with a number of ministers having faced corruption charges in 2011 and 2012.

  • Botswana Has Enjoyed 42 Years of Multiparty Democracy Since Gaining Independence from Britain In
    Panelists expressed fears of monopolistic trends in the market, as private media companies’ attempts to diversify and expand market share have been restricted to either buying smaller outlets or creating partnerships with foreign media. B OTSWANA 12 MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2008 INTRODUCTION OVERALL SCORE: 2.34 B TSWANA Botswana has enjoyed 42 years of multiparty democracy since gaining independence from Britain in 1966. The country has since been governed by the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) and has witnessed O the smooth transition of power to four different presidents. Despite the stability, opposition parties and Bpolitical commentators continue to call for electoral reform away from winner-takes-all to a proportional representation system. Calls have also been made for direct presidential elections. The BDP has resisted change, adopting an “if it isn’t broken, why fix it?” position. Economically, Botswana has continued to be one of the strongest performers on the African continent, with a growth rate of around 6 percent. The country appears to have been relatively insulated from the global slowdown, but analysts suggest this may not last. The strong economy is good for media, but with a population of fewer than two million people growth potential is limited. Panelists expressed fears of monopolistic trends in the market, as private media companies’ attempts to diversify and expand market share have been restricted to either buying smaller outlets or creating partnerships with foreign media. Panelists expressed disappointment that a government policy to promote competition and diversity has yet to be introduced. There are also concerns that private media sustainability is undermined by unfair competition from state-controlled media.

  • Television in Botswana: Development and Policy Perspectives
    Television in Botswana: Development and Policy Perspectives Seamogano Mosanako Master of Arts, Journalism (International), University of Westminster (London), 2004 Bachelor of Social Work, University of Botswana, 1996 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Journalism and Communication 1 Abstract Although numerous scholars across the world have sought to explore the relevance of television for development purposes in various national settings, there is a dearth of literature on the use of television for development in the Botswana context. A national television service, Botswana Television (Btv) was introduced in 2000 by the Botswana Government. However, Btv’s role in national development has received limited research attention. This study examines the role of television in national development in Botswana. In addition, the study explores the factors that influence the performance of television in a developing country context, with a view to suggest issues for consideration in media policy in Botswana to improve the performance of the Btv. This analysis of Btv was conducted through a qualitative research methodology that comprised document analysis, schedule analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. This combination of methods provides data that contributes to a more holistic knowledge of media and development in Botswana. Various documents about Btv and media in Botswana were reviewed to establish the media policy issues relating to television broadcasting in Botswana. The schedule analysis, which was a unique method applied in this study, involved reviewing samples of Btv schedules from 2010 and 2011 to examine Btv’s program output, specifically, the content related to Botswana’s national development priorities.

  • Botswana Country Report Context
    Botswana Country Report Context 5. Radio 5.1 Key changes and developments in the radio marketplace in the past five years Although the Batswana were first exposed to radio broadcasting as early as the 1940s during the Second World War, broadcasting in Botswana can really be traced back to 1961 when the country inherited a 1kW medium wave transmitter that had initially been used by the Germans during the second world war to broadcast propaganda. The transmitter was originally based in Mafeking, but in 1963 it was moved to Lobatse, where it was code-named ZNB and used for public campaigns as the country geared up for national independence. Its broadcasts focused on constitutional development and other national development issues that built up to a Botswana nation state. The transmitter was brought to Gaborone in 1965, where it continued to broadcast until independence, and the station became known as Radio Botswana. Radio Botswana was the only radio station in Botswana at independence, and it continued to enjoy a monopoly until 1997. Its only competitors were neighbouring South African radio stations, mainly Radio Tswana and Radio Bop in the former homeland of Bophuthatswana. After majority rule in South Africa, Radio Tswana was renamed Motsweding FM and was relocated to the north-west province of South Africa. Radio Botswana continued to air a diversity of programmes featuring government policy and development and various cultural programmes, news and current affairs. Since 2003, Radio Botswana has broadcast around the clock and carries 99% national content with a few foreign programmes3. In April 1992, Radio Botswana started RB2, a commercial channel that carries advertising, and which complements Radio Botswana programming by concentrating on youth-based issues.

    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences September-December 2015 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 2, Issue 4 Promoting Language and Cultural Diversity through the Mass Media: Views of Students at the University of Botswana Koketso Jeremiah Lecturer, Department of Languages and Social Sciences Education, University of Botswana [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the views of students at the University of Botswana as to whether or not the current situation in which the languages of ethnic minority groups in Botswana are marginalized or excluded for use in the national media such as television, radio and the Botswana Daily News, should continue or not. The study answered the following research questions: 1. What national television and radio stations exist in Botswana? 2. What programmes do these television and radio stations broadcast and with which languages? 3. Is the current situation of broadcasting with regard to the languages used for broadcasting fair, and, if not, what can be done to remedy the situation? It also addressed the following objectives:1. To identify the national television and radio stations which exist in Botswana? 2. To identify the programmes that the existing national television and radio stations broadcast and the languages used to broadcast those programmes. 3. To find out if the current system of broadcasting is fair in terms of the languages used and if it is not, to suggest some measures that can be taken to remedy the situation.The study used qualitative methods. Sampling was done by using purposive sampling. The data collection method used was a questionnaire.

Main subject was to identify the problems they are facing as leaders the local level. On the basis of this, IDEA developed a methodology for mapping local democracy, which was presented at a workshop in Cape Town in 2001. Five Cities throughout Africa were selected for a pilot phase to implement this methodology. Gaborone was one of them and the Botswana Association of Local Authorities, BALA was given the mandate to organize this effort. BALA then approached its long time cooperation partner, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), asking for assistance. Since the Friedrich Ebert Foundation has a long and serious commitment to strengthen democracy on the local level, this request was answered positively. BALA and FES subsequently brought Dr. Zibani Maundeni, the Coordinator of the Democracy Research Project from the University of Botswana on board as the academic mastermind and facilitator for the activities to be undertaken.
