The Truth About Our Economy | Inside Botswana’s Economic Decline

Описание: In this thought-provoking episode of the GrowthWell Podcast, Mr. K sits down with Sennye Obuseng—economist, politician with the Botswana Congress Party, and an outspoken voice on national development—to unpack the deeper issues at the core of Botswana’s economic structure.

From political will to institutional inefficiencies, Obuseng lays bare the fundamental challenges facing Botswana’s economy. He points to the country’s excessive number of parastatals, describing the system as extractive rather than developmental—built to benefit the political class more than the people.

With clarity and urgency, he challenges assumptions about economic planning, governance culture, and the long-term sustainability of our current models. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone concerned with Botswana’s future—from policymakers to young entrepreneurs.

Tune in for insights on:
• The politics of economic development in Botswana
• Parastatals and public resource misallocation
• The limits of planning without implementation
• What real reform in Botswana would look like
• Why economic justice starts with governance
