Gaborone

3 min read

There are not many concrete reasons to come here – it is a world of government ministries, shopping malls and a seemingly endless city spread – and most travelers can fly to Maun or cross country elsewhere. Still, it can be an interesting place to take the pulse of the nation.
Gaborone is both the economic capital and the public capital; It is the headquarters of many companies and the Botswana Stock Exchange.
Gaborone is also home to the South African Development Community (SADC), a regional economic community established in 1980.
