THE MIDWEEK SUN
The Midweek Sun this week hits hard with political drama. Boko faces a possible ousting as opposition parties close in, they say. Add royal funeral tensions, a shocking rental hike at the bus rank, and a bizarre post-burial fire, and you have got a tabloid cocktail of power, mystery, and money moves. Definitely not a quiet week.
BUSINESS WEEKLY & REVIEW
Business Weekly & Review dives into Botswana’s high-stakes diplomacy with the US and Russia, a bold move with global ripples. Also read about the IMF’s proposed Marshall Plan for our cash crunch, plus a skills gap shaking the gambling industry. It is a sharp mix of geopolitics, economics, and sector stress. Surely a thinker’s edition.
BOTSWANA GUARDIAN
Botswana Guardian this week is all fire and fallout. Mzwinila hits back hard as lawyers rip into the DPP’s case, calling it flawed and abusive. And then there is the messy raid on Minister Ramogapi’s farm that is shaking the DCEC, plus pressure mounting on BDF’s security modernisation. Here you have yourself a front page packed with legal heat and institutional tension.
MMEGI
Mmegi this week is all about legal fire and billion-pula buzz. Mzwinila lashes out at the DPP, calling their moves dirty and calculated, with claims of coercion, media spectacle, and asset grabs. Add a P1 billion betting craze, broke clubs funding a broke league, and Swabi’s musical reflections, and you get an edition that is part courtroom, part culture, part chaos.
THE VOICE
The Voice this week is pure drama… Mochudi’s Dutch Reformed Church erupts as members revolt against their pastor in a story headlined War in Church. Add a messy divorce over a multimillion-pula estate, Mzwinila’s eviction block, and a councillor eyeing BCP’s top seat. It’s about rebellion, ambition, and courtroom heat.
WEEKEND POST
Weekend Post this week stirs the political pot as we gather that the BDP veterans want Masisi back to rescue the party, citing weak leadership and 2029 jitters. But Masisi might just prefer the statesman lane. Add Mzwilina’s legal rebuke, Boko’s motion splitting MPs, and new austerity moves in business. This one is about power plays and fiscal recalibration.
THE PATRIOT ON SUNDAY
The Patriot on Sunday this week leans into constitutional drama — Dikgosi back Boko’s push for a Constitutional Court, setting the tone for deeper reforms. The BDP is flirting with coalition talk, while Boko’s stance on the death penalty and queer rights stirs fresh debate. It’s a political edition with tradition, tension, and transformation all in one.
PULA24
PULA24 would this week lead with a political curveball, with the ‘Boko Stuns Voters” headline screaming as the President distances himself from campaign promises. Add courtroom heat with Moagi, sports drama from Chiefs vs Gunners, and a health teaser on HIV injections. It is bold, punchy, and unapologetically PULA24! If we had a print edition, it would be raining ink. But hey, it’s raining news anyway!
