Download Can Botswana solve its neighbours energy woes?
Many people across the continent rely on generators when the electricity supply is unreliable in their countries.
Blackouts or planned loadshedding have become common in Zimbabwe and South Africa, leaving families without power for hours at a time.
But neighbouring Botswana is hoping to change all of that.
Botswana Power Corporation – the state owned energy provider – has been working to generate additional power for some time.
And the government in Gaborone is hoping to sell it to neighbouring countries.
So, could this be a mutually beneficial arrangement for countries in southern Africa?
