Where to watch Botswana shows


Many Batswana have wondered where they can watch local shows and documentaries, especially with the decline of Botswana Television (BTV). BTV used to air a variety of interesting shows weekly, but it now focuses mainly on parliamentary debates and government programs throughout the day.

For those who enjoyed local shows like "Thololosi," "Rra Dijo," and "Beauty," there has been a significant shift in the entertainment industry. Nowadays, people prefer modern IPTV services like Netflix and Showmax, which are popular in Africa. Despite this trend, traditional cable TV companies like DSTV continue to provide their services and have introduced smart technologies that allow subscribers to watch content even when away from home.
