How did Botswana become one of Africa’s richest, safest, and most stable countries?
This documentary explores how Botswana got rich , how botswana got successful, how Botswana is the African exemption— and why economists believe there will never be another Botswana.

Once the second-poorest country in the world, Botswana transformed itself into the Singapore of Africa through visionary leadership, strong institutions, and pragmatic governance under Sir Seretse Khama.
