Just read an interesting court judgement delivered in Francistown.😂A man wanted to marry someone, when they engaged the family, as part of negotiations, they requested that he pay for her tertiary fees at UB(350k). After completion, she didn’t feel the same way about the marriage. She feels she doesn’t need to reimburse him and that sex was enough, it was his free will to sponsor her. The court ordered her to pay 700k to the man.

Botswana Teen Sentenced to Six Strokes for Insults on Social Media

An 18-year-old teenager has been sentenced to six strokes of corporal punishment by a customary court in Maun, Botswana after being found guilty of using insulting language on social media, in a case highlighting Botswana's strict enforcement of digital conduct laws.

Letsema Sephute, a resident of Qhabara Ward in Maun, appeared before the Maun Customary Court on 18 February 2026, where he was convicted on one count of insults relating to Botswana, contrary to Section 91(c) of the Penal Code. The charges stemmed from comments Sephute posted on a social media platform that were deemed offensive.

The court handed down a sentence of six strokes, a penalty in which the offender is struck on the b*ttocks with a rod by a court official. The ruling sends a clear message about the legal consequences of online behaviour deemed harmful or insulting in Botswana.

Sephute's sentencing marks one of the harsher penalties imposed for social media-related offences in Botswana in recent months.

TWO BANKS INTERESTED IN STANDARD CHARTERED

Standard Chartered has decided to sell its entire Botswana operation, reversing an earlier plan to exit only retail and wealth banking.

The decision follows stronger interest from buyers seeking the full franchise, including the corporate and investment banking unit.

The sale process is expected to take up to 15 months, with Absa and FirstRand emerging as leading contenders after recent acquisitions elsewhere in Africa.

Botswana’s banking sector is already dominated by South African lenders, and a full acquisition would strengthen their regional presence.
