The Republic of Botswana and the Republic of South Africa have taken a significant step towards strengthening bilateral cooperation in correctional services following the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on Cooperation in the Field of Prisons and Correctional Services during the closing of the Sixth Session of the Bi-National Commission (BNC) in Gaborone today (21/05/2026).

This was signed by Hon. Ramaotwana Nelson Ramaotwana and South Africa’s Minister of Correctional Services, Hon. Dr Petros Johannes Groenewald. The signing of the MoA marks a major milestone in advancing collaboration between the Botswana Prison Service and the South African Department of Correctional Services.

The MoA is expected to strengthen cooperation in key areas, including the promotion of good governance within correctional institutions, human resource development, exchange of information and technical cooperation in areas such as training, infrastructure development, security, rehabilitation and social reintegration of offenders. The agreement further provides for exchange programmes involving officials in sports, recreation, arts and culture as part of enhancing institutional relations between the two neighbouring countries. This further reflects Botswana and South Africa’s shared commitment towards correctional excellence, regional cooperation and enhanced public safety through humane and progressive correctional systems.

𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐎𝐓𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒

𝟐𝟗.𝟎𝟒.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞:Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Honourable Ramaotwana Nelson Ramaotwana, has commended the University of Botswana for creating a practical and innovative platform that bridges academic learning with real-world criminal justice challenges. He made these remarks while delivering the keynote address at the University of Botswana’s CJS327 Forensic Criminology Annual Murder Mystery Ball and Stakeholder Engagement (AMMSE) 2026, held at the UB Indoor Sports Arena.

Honourable Ramaotwana noted that while Botswana has made commendable progress in reducing certain categories of crime, emerging threats such as cybercrime, fraud, money laundering and digital financial scams continue to present serious challenges that require stronger forensic and investigative capacity.

The Minister emphasised that crimes involving fraud, cyber-enabled financial crimes and economic corruption are increasingly affecting businesses, financial institutions and ordinary citizens, with some cases resulting in significant financial losses and reduced public trust in institutions. He stressed that these developments call for a more coordinated, science-driven and technology-based response to crime prevention and investigation.

Honourable Ramaotwana further highlighted that initiatives such as AMMSE 2026 directly support Botswana’s Vision 2036 aspirations under the Governance, Peace and Security pillar, as well as Sustainable Development Goal 16, which promotes peace, justice and strong institutions. He described the event as more than an academic exercise, but rather a strategic investment in building the next generation of forensic investigators, cybersecurity analysts, fraud examiners and justice professionals.

The Minister reaffirmed Government’s commitment to strengthening Botswana’s forensic criminology ecosystem through continued investment in digital investigations, forensic laboratories, evidence infrastructure and stronger collaboration between universities, law enforcement and industry. He also underscored the importance of legislative and policy reforms to support digital evidence, victim protection and prosecutorial integrity.

The event brought together students, academics, law enforcement agencies, forensic practitioners and key justice sector stakeholders to explore the evolving role of forensic criminology in strengthening Botswana’s justice system.

Justice Reform Milestone as Botswana Launches Specialised Commercial Court

Botswana has taken a significant step towards modernising its justice system with the official launch of the Specialised Commercial Court, marking a milestone in the Administration of Justice’s reform agenda to create a more efficient, business-friendly Judiciary.

Presiding over the launch, Chief Justice Gaolapelwe Gee Ketlogetswe reaffirmed the Judiciary’s commitment to innovation, describing the new court as “a key pillar in fostering an investment-friendly environment and stimulating economic growth.” The Chief Justice explained that the court will handle complex commercial matters such as banking, insurance, intellectual property, and company law, thereby improving case management and investor confidence.

He noted that the establishment of this court follows years of planning, feasibility studies, and international benchmarking exercises, including partnerships with the Ministry of Trade and Entrepreneurship, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and the Standing International Forum of Commercial Courts (SIFoCC). The move comes as part of Botswana’s broader effort to reduce delays and improve competitiveness in the global business environment.

Delivering his remarks, Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Honourable Ramaotwana Nelson Ramaotwana, commended the Judiciary for driving this reform, describing the initiative as “a clear statement that Botswana is open for business.” He emphasised that the creation of the specialised court would ensure quicker, more effective resolution of commercial disputes, vital for economic growth and investor trust.

The Minister officially launched the court by presenting the judges appointed to lead this division, including Justice Barnabas Nyamadzabo, Judge President of the High Court in Gaborone, who will head the Commercial Court Division. Other judges from the High Court and Industrial Court have been seconded to constitute the founding bench.

Initially, the Commercial Court will operate within the Gaborone and Lobatse divisions of the High Court, later expanding to other regions. It is expected to employ modern case management techniques, integrated technology, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to expedite proceedings.

The event underscored Botswana’s vision for a world-class Judiciary by 2036, aligning justice delivery with national economic aspirations.

Empowering Women, Transforming Futures 💼✨

A special one-day Women Empowerment Workshop was successfully hosted through the collaboration of Hon. Dorcus M Oboetswe and Rio Trade Enterprises Management, bringing together 20 inspiring women from across Gaborone South Constituency.

The workshop focused on uplifting informal sector women by equipping them with practical business knowledge and strategies to build sustainable ventures, especially in today’s challenging economic climate.

In her welcome remarks, Hon. Dorcus Oboetswe highlighted the vital role women play in nation-building, encouraging participants to embrace the opportunity with confidence, determination, and a strong business mindset.

Rio Trade Enterprises shared their vision, aligning with the Presidential initiative to create 500,000 jobs. This led to the formation of “Basadi Ikageng”, a women’s empowerment group aimed at mentoring and supporting women to run successful and impactful businesses.

As part of this initiative, opportunities have also been created for the Old Naledi community, where residents are now engaged in designing cigarette display stands to support these women entrepreneurs.

Beyond empowerment, the initiative contributes to reducing illegal cigarette imports by promoting locally manufactured products.

Rio Trade Enterprise, a proudly local cigarette manufacturer based in Gaborone (Phakalane), continues to make a difference by creating employment for 50 Batswana citizens.

Together, we rise. Together, we build. 💪🇧🇼
