BOTSWANA MOVES TO LOWER GAMBLING AGE FROM 21 TO 18

Botswana’s Parliament has passed the Gambling (Amendment) Bill, 2026, retaining a controversial proposal to reduce the minimum legal gambling age from 21 to 18 years.

The proposed changes are part of wider reforms to Botswana’s gambling laws, including stronger regulatory and anti-money-laundering measures.

The change is not yet confirmed to be in force. The Bill still requires the necessary legal process, including commencement through an order published in the Government Gazette.

The proposal has already sparked debate, with questions being raised about whether 18-year-olds should be legally allowed to gamble.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Should Botswana allow gambling from 18 years, or should the age remain at 21?

BATSWANA DEBATE GNT VS MAATLA EMPHRAIM BASHA AFTER BOMU AWARDS WIN

A heated debate has erupted among Batswana following Maatla Emphraim Basha’s victory at the BOMU Awards.

While many fans celebrated Maatla’s achievement, others quickly brought GNT into the conversation, arguing that GNT remains one of the strongest artists on the disco scene.

The debate has sparked discussions among music fans over who truly deserves the title of the best in the genre. Supporters of Maatla point to his award-winning performance, while GNT’s supporters argue that his consistency, influence and contribution to disco music should not be overlooked.

With both artists having passionate fan bases, one question is now dominating social media: Does winning an award automatically make Maatla the best, or does GNT still hold the crown on the disco scene?

The debate is far from over, and Batswana are clearly divided.
