Egypt extends 1,250MW of gas capacity instead of replacing it
Egypt has chosen to extend the operating life of five GE Vernova 9F gas turbines rather than replace them prematurely, preserving about 1,250MW of dispatchable generation across the Kureimat, Nubaria and Cairo North power plants. The service programme is expected to...
The Desert Miracle: Moakanyi Magazine | Vol 06 Issue 01 | June 2026
Our June 2026 issue is out. How Duma Boko is re-architecting Botswana - from a diamond-dependent rentier state into a sovereign-equity economy built to rival the Gulf - and what that turn asks of everyone doing business here. Botswana is doing something most resource...
Power as Productivity: Why Africa’s Energy Gap Is a Jobs Problem First
Economics - Industry & Resources · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · China-in-Africa · June 2026 The standard headline counts the unconnected - around 600 million Africans without electricity, the large majority in sub-Saharan Africa. That number is real, and...
Green Triad: How Hydropower, Wind and Solar Anchor a New China-Africa Bargain
Economics - Macro & Markets · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · China-in-Africa · June 2026 China's foreign ministry talks about a single green partnership with Africa, working with the continent to drive its transition through hydropower, wind and solar. But...
Brand safety
Consumers - Digital Marketing & Social · Editorial By Moakanyi Magazine · Global Issue · June 2026 The instinct in a downturn is to shout louder; the discipline is to speak more carefully. As the World Bank cuts its global growth outlook to 2.5% and warns of a...
Food-price index watch
The FAO food-price index reads like distant data until you remember Botswana imports much of its food. For an import-dependent system, it is an early-warning instrument.
Fertiliser-cost exposure
Middle East disruption that threatened fertiliser exports is a Botswana story too – it lands on every input cost a farmer pays before a single crop is sold.
Luban Workshops: The Vocational-Education Story to Watch in Africa
China’s Luban Workshops trade lecture halls for lathes and robots. The model is spreading fast – and its scale claims deserve a closer count.
Green-retail positioning
Botswana’s energy and mineral deals with Oman point to a market where power is precious – and where retail brands will favour the malls that can keep the lights on.
Scholarships and Skills: China’s Bet on African Human Capital
China is pledging tens of thousands of scholarships and training places. The dividend depends on whether those graduates come home and find work.
Business parks for services
As Botswana pushes exploration beyond diamonds and into solar, it is also creating demand for somewhere to put the geologists, engineers and advisers who follow.
Cross-border depots
World trade kept rising in April, a reminder that goods still move – and that the depots sitting on the right SADC routes are the ones that capture the flow.
Schools You Can See: China’s Visible but Underwritten Education Build in Africa
China has funded more than 170 schools across Africa. The visible buildings raise a quieter question of who pays the teachers and bills after handover.
Industrial logistics
A diamond-sector downgrade and a shift in how rough is sold are quietly rewriting Botswana’s logistics map – and the high-security property that serves it.
Surgical Wings and Lab Benches: China’s Health-System Build-Out in Africa
A fresh roster of Chinese-built hospitals and diagnostic centres reads as system-strengthening. Whether national budgets can run them is the unwritten clause.
Water-energy nexus
A global growth downgrade is also a warning about water and energy. For Botswana developers, the buildings that hold their value will be the ones that secure both.
Project governance
When ratings agencies look at Botswana, they read the budget for discipline. That scrutiny now reaches down to how individual projects are procured and run.
Clinics and Classrooms: China’s Twin-Track Health Story in Africa
China’s foreign ministry counts decades of medical teams and tens of thousands trained. The harder question is what stays once the visiting doctors fly home.
Urban affordability
Botswana’s budget projects a rebound, but inflation and household debt keep pressing on what families can afford. Urban housing affordability is where that pressure shows up first.
Malaria’s Playbook: What Tanzania Learned From China’s 1-3-7 Method
China eliminated malaria at home, then exported the method – not the medicine – to Tanzania. The transferable lesson is a system, not a shipment.
