Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) is participating in the two-day Chobe Business Expo 2026 in Kazungula, providing an important platform to showcase its mandate and connect businesses with opportunities across investment, trade, exports, business facilitation and the Brand Botswana.

The Expo was officially opened by the Minister of Trade and Entrepreneurship, Honourable Tiroeaone Ntsima, alongside the Member of Parliament for Chobe, Honourable Simasiku Oscar Mapulanga and other government officials.

Speaking at the opening, Minister Ntsima called for stronger collaboration between government, businesses and communities to unlock investment and economic opportunities in Chobe.

Highlighting Chobe’s strategic position as a world-class tourism destination and gateway to regional markets, Minister Ntsima encouraged greater participation of local enterprises in tourism and other value chains. He called on large businesses and tourism establishments to deliberately develop credible local suppliers, while urging SMMEs to strengthen their capacity, quality, professionalism and reliability.

He further emphasised the need to create an enabling environment for young people and women entrepreneurs to access markets, finance, skills, technology and business networks.

The Minister’s call aligns with BITC’s continued efforts to facilitate business linkages, promote investment and trade, and support the growth and competitiveness of local enterprises through its national mandate.

Okavango Brewing Company is a proudly Botswana beer company based in Maun, on the edge of the Okavango Delta. The company produces locally brewed beers inspired by the landscapes, wildlife and communities of northern Botswana.

Its range includes Delta Lager, Kingfisher Session IPA, Panhandle Pale Ale and a rotating selection of monthly specialty beers. Each beer reflects a distinctly Botswana identity, combining quality brewing with a strong sense of place.

At the heart of the business is a belief that commercial growth and conservation can move in the same direction. Through its Elephant Aware Economy, Okavango Brewing Company sources millet from local farmers who use wildlife-conscious farming practices. This creates an additional market for Botswana-grown crops while supporting livelihoods and encouraging greater coexistence between communities and elephants.

Okavango Brewing Company is building more than a beer brand. It is developing a Botswana brewing ecosystem that supports local agriculture, creates skills and employment, strengthens tourism and showcases the country’s ability to produce distinctive, internationally relevant products.

Proudly brewed in Botswana, Okavango Brewing Company invites every customer to enjoy great local beer while contributing to something bigger: thriving communities, protected landscapes and a stronger future for Botswana.

Brewed for the Wild.

🇧🇼✨ FROM THE HEART OF BOTSWANA TO THE WORLD. ✨🇧🇼

Today, Ruth Thomas takes the stage at the 73rd Miss World Dances of the World, carrying with her a story woven from the very soul of Botswana. 👑🇧🇼

Her costume draws inspiration from Kgosi Mosadi Seboko, Botswana’s first female chief a powerful symbol of strength, leadership and the empowerment of women.

At its heart is the cow, one of Botswana’s greatest treasures. As we say in Setswana, “Kgomo ke khumo” a cow is wealth. 🐄

Our cattle have long represented prosperity, supported communities, enabled trade and even helped build schools. The rich brown tones honour the vast Kalahari, while the intricate beadwork reflects sorghum, a traditional crop symbolising sustenance, resilience and our agricultural heritage. 🌾

Every detail tells a story. Every step carries our heritage. Today, Botswana doesn’t just dance she tells her story to the world. 🇧🇼❤️

Gaolathe commended the troupe for its contribution to preserving Botswana’s history and showcasing the country’s rich cultural heritage through authentic and creative storytelling.

He noted that Mophato’s work demonstrates the power of the creative sector to tell Botswana’s story in compelling ways while creating opportunities and visibility for local creatives.
Chaba, which will run at the Civic Centre Hall for the next three days, is a medley of Mophato Dance Theatre’s celebrated offerings over the years. The production is put together and directed by Andrew Letso Kola.
