Lefatshe la Botswana - Re Tsamaya

Botswana is a landlocked country in southern Africa. It borders South Africa to the southeast and south, Namibia to the west and north, and Zambia and Zimbabwe to the northeast.

Botswana was a colony (“protectorate”) of the United Kingdom from 1885 until its independence in 1966 under the name Bechuanaland. The United Nations Development Program now lists Botswana as one of the countries with high levels of human development.

Since 2012, Botswana has been the most democratic country on the African mainland according to the Democracy Index. In addition, the country has the lowest susceptibility to corruption since it was first recorded in the corruption perception index in 1998. In both indices it also outperforms many western industrialized countries, such as Italy and most Eastern and Southeast European countries, every year.
