Political Violence Insurance Is No Longer Only for Mines and Malls
Political violence insurance in South Africa has long been a big-ticket product. It protected the assets that could afford it — mines, malls, factories, corporate property — against riot, unrest and civil commotion, perils the country knows well. The microbusiness,...
Afrophobia as a Growth Constraint, Not a Social Footnote
Growth models for South Africa carry the usual variables: investment, productivity, the terms of trade, the cost of capital, the electricity supply. Social cohesion is not among them. It is filed under politics, or sociology, or the softer pages of a country report....
Ten systems that turn a crew into a multi-site operator
The leap that undoes cleaning companies is not the first extra crew; it is the first extra site. One team in one building can be run by a supervisor who sees everything. Spread the same company across a dozen locations and every weakness is copied twelve times: a...
More cleaners is not the same as more company
The instinct, when a small cleaning company starts turning away work, is to hire more cleaners. It feels like growth, and for a week or two it looks like it. Then the complaints start, the supplies run short at the wrong site, and the founder discovers that a business...
Hot Seat: How Sasol’s Simon Baloyi Balances Profit and Decarbonisation
Every chemicals chief executive faces the same uncomfortable arithmetic: the assets that earn the cash today are the assets a low-carbon future is built to retire. For Sasol's Simon Baloyi, that tension is not a slide in a strategy deck — it is the daily condition of...

The Diamond Reset special

State of Botswana Business 2026
A report issue that synthesises budget, ratings, diamonds, oil and trade gives Botswana operators one place to see the whole board. State of Botswana Business 2026 is built as that front door.
The reward economy
With Botswana’s budget projecting an economic rebound this year, lifestyle businesses face a clear instruction: sell value, not vanity. Cautious customers reward substance over signal.

Energy-efficient lodges
As Botswana signs energy and mineral exploration deals abroad, the same logic scales down to the lodge: solar can turn one of a remote camp’s largest costs into a fixed, sunlit asset.
