Botswana’s journey has always been about courage, progress and freedom.
As we celebrate 60 years of independence, let us also protect our personal freedom to manage our money, protect our relationships and make informed choices.

Online betting should never control your time, finances or wellbeing. Know when to pause. Set clear limits. Never bet with money meant for food, transport, rent, school fees or other essential needs.

Board Vice Chairperson, Lorato Bridget Mphusu, was part of thought provoking panel discussion at the GRAF Maputo Women’s Round Table, held during the 17th Annual Gaming Regulators Africa Forum (GRAF).

The conversation was a powerful and honest reflection on what it truly means for women to have a seat at the table not just to be present, but to have a voice, influence decisions, and create space for others to follow.

From navigating challenges in leadership, to the importance of women supporting, mentoring, and opening doors for one another, the discussion highlighted the collective responsibility we have to build workplaces and industries where more women can lead and thrive.

A seat at the table is meaningful when your voice is heard and even more powerful when you use that seat to make room for others.

Rent is due. Groceries are essential. Bills don’t wait. Your responsibilities come first.

Gambling should be entertainment, not the source of money for your essentials. Never Gamble the money you need to keep your life running.

KE MOTLOTLO KA BOTSWANA 🇧🇼

One day, these hands will let go.

And another pair of hands will carry what we leave behind.

We inherited this country from people who built.
People who served.
People who sacrificed.
People who believed in tomorrow.

Now, tomorrow is in our hands.

To love Botswana is to care about what becomes of her.
To be proud of Botswana is to play our part.

So, what will you do for your country?

Build. Create. Serve. Buy Local.
Help where you can. Give what you know. Create opportunity.

Because Botswana is ours to build, and ours to leave better for the next generation.

Ke motlotlo ka Botswana.
Tsaya maikarabelo, Motswana wetsho.
Rotlhe re godisa Botswana.

Our children may hear about gambling from friends, social media or even see it online, but do they really understand the risks?

Don’t assume they know. Talk to them. Ask questions. Listen. Educate.

One honest conversation today could help them make better choices tomorrow.
