SECTOR 2 ‘information officers’ not journalists, and don’t claim to write about important things.” Other private newspapers include the monthly Economic Express, which is published erratically. There are a number of local magazines, including the environmentally focussed Wena, Hotel and Tourism, the youth publication Lapologa, a farmers’ magazine, and the contemporary state-published magazine, Kutlwano. New monthly magazine entrants in the last two years include Wealth, Flair, Architect Design, Peolwane (Air Botswana’s in-flight magazine) and the general-interest magazine Mahube. Access to newspapers for citizens is hampered by the cost – they are considered pricey at the minimum price of 10 Pula (US$1,-), when a loaf of bread costs 8 Pula (US$ 0.80). Another fact that reduces the people of Botswana’s accessibility to print media is that they are almost entirely published in English, although some newspapers, such as the Daily News and Mmegi, have Setswana pages in their editions. The government radio and television stations, however, broadcast in English and Setswana. English is the official language of Botswana, although the national language is Setswana and an estimated 78 percent of Batswana speak Setswana as a home language. English is spoken by only two percent of the population as a home language, Kalanga eight per cent, Sekgalagadi three percent, and the remainder is made up of other languages. Broadcasting There are six radio stations broadcasting in Botswana: the government-owned Radio Botswana 1 and 2 (the latter has more of a commercial focus), and the private and commercial stations Duma FM, Gabz FM, Yarona FM and Voice of America. State radio is accessible throughout the country although reception may be unclear in border towns and villages. Most of the private radio stations broadcast countrywide and some stations, such as Gabz FM and Yarona FM, as well as Radio Botswana, have begun streaming their content over the internet. Podcasting is not very common in Botswana. There is a domination of the airwaves by the state-owned Botswana Television, which broadcasts nationwide and is also accessible in the Southern African region. The privately owned Gaborone Broadcasting Corporation TV (GBC TV) (now called e-Botswana) only broadcasts in a limited radius from Gaborone. South African media company Sabido - the holding company of locally based television station e.tv - acquired 49% of Gaborone Broadcasting Company (GBC). Viewers can subscribe to the South African satellite subscription service, DSTV, through Multi-Choice Botswana. The Batswana used to access pirated SABC TV through the Chinese Philibao decoder, and this has been greatly reduced since AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER Botswana 2014 29
