HOW BOTSWANA LOOSES BILLION PULAS DURING RAIN SEASON

I also saw it happen in South African Houses, each has a Jojo Tank to collect rains. This season, as the rains fall and you watch each drop gather around your home, your fields, or even flood your surroundings — pause and think differently. That water flowing away is not just rain; it is money , it is life , it is a resource slipping through your hands . Every drop you see running off is the same water that utility companies purify and sell back to you — for drinking, for washing, for cooking, for sustaining your household and your farm. If only we could learn to harvest it, store it, and use it wisely, we would turn floods into fortunes and rain into resilience .   Botswana Loses Billions by Not Harvesting Its Own Rainfall — It’s Time to Save and Win! Every year, Botswana receives an average of 416 mm of rainfall — a nat...

What is Hindering Agriculture in Botswana and Africa?

  Agriculture remains Africa’s largest employer, with over 60% of the continent’s population depending on it for their livelihoods. Yet, the sector contributes only 15–20% to Sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP , far below its potential. In Botswana, agriculture contributes less than 3% of national GDP , despite the country having over 45% arable land and abundant sunlight. This contradiction reflects deep structural and systemic challenges. Below are the main hindrances:         1.

South Africa : employs 200,000+ seasonal foreign farm workers annually , mostly from Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. Botswana : imports fewer than 10,000 foreign agricultural workers , creating a labour gap that leaves many commercial ...
