UDC/IEC case requires urgent political interventionThey say desperate times call for desparate measures. Botswana’s desparate electoral situation requires political intervention to end the raging legal tug of war between the UDC & the IEC. It appears the legal festival currently raging in the High Court will not end anytime soon if yesterday's spectacle at the F'town High Court is anything to go by resulting in grave uncertainty as to when the voter registration exercise will commence & whether other phases of the electoral processes will properly fall into place.Political intervention from govt will prevail upon the IEC to withdraw from the case & allow the UDC to observe & monitor voter registration for transparency & fairness. This far, it hasn't come out clearly what harm if any, will UDC’s observation of the voter registration exercise cause. It would have been fulfilling to watch the end product of the legal festival at the High Court & the Court of Appeal. But like they say again, time is of the essence. Much as time for the electoral process to set in motion voter registration has been negatively impacted, no more time should be afforded to be wasted. If the elections date was still far away, I would have no qualms with the festival going on until the very end for obvious reasons.The sad reality is that the elections date is around the corner & voter registration is yet to commence.Govt has a choice to make in the circumstances: Avoid Constitutional crisis in so far as elections are concerned for such will have other legal & political implications for Botswana’s democratic credentials OR, perpetuate it. ...

Strategic partnership offers inherent benefits of global knowledge, African insights, and local expertise and commitment.

Minet Group and Africa Lighthouse Capital have announced that they have received regulatory approval and fulfilled all requirements to acquire Aon’s shareholding in Aon Botswana, and consequently will begin the process to rebrand to Minet Botswana.

Minet Group is a well-known and trusted pan-African risk advisory firm and Aon’s largest Global Network Correspondent and has been rapidly expanding its African footprint since 2017 through the acquisition of operations from global professional services firm Aon in Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.   Minet has been delivering world class products and services across Africa for over 70 years.

Africa Lighthouse Capital (ALC) is a leading Botswana citizen-owned private equity firm focused on investing in Botswana companies and propelling them into regional champions, with over BWP 500 million in funds under management.

The new entity will be rebranded to Minet and will inherit deeply rooted respect by its clients for their innovative and locally relevant solutions, responsiveness, and efficient processes. Furthermore, it shall have the benefit of consistency in leadership and staffing, with Barnabas Mavuma, previously Managing Director of Aon Botswana, continuing to lead the business as the MD supported by the local management team.  

 â€œThe addition of Minet Botswana to our growing African network affirms our belief in the great opportunities for growth that Africa offers, driven by rising consumer demand, huge investment in infrastructure and quick adoption of new technology,” says Joe Onsando, CEO at Minet Group. “This transaction significantly adds to the diversity and skills base of our team and will have a positive impact on the range of products and services we provide. Our Correspondent agreement with Aon gives us access to global expertise and data driven insights and uniquely positions us to deliver risk advisory solutions that reduce volatility, thus driving improved performance for our clients. This is a very exciting time to be Minet in Africa.” 

“The significantly increased Botswana citizen shareholding effected by this transaction gives rise to an exciting era of local market focus and growth for Minet Botswana,” says Bame Pule, Founder and CEO of Africa Lighthouse Capital.  “We intend to work with Minet Botswana’s local management team to further localise the business in terms of product development, while at the same time investing in local skills development and business development.  We look forward to this exciting journey, which will result in a significantly enhanced service offering for Minet Botswana’s clients.”

Consequently, and similar to the other members of the Minet Group, Minet Botswana becomes an Aon Global Network Correspondent, retaining its access to Aon’s resources, technology, and best practises, combined with the benefit of independent, local agility. This transaction furthermore significantly increases local shareholding, enabling operations to become even nimbler and better positioned to unlock new and existing growth opportunities.

Clients of Minet Botswana will experience continuity of product and service delivery standards in the short term. In the near future, they can expect an enhanced offering that combines agility with technology and product innovation, tailormade for their specific needs.

Together, Minet and ALC bring a sound understanding of local market conditions, strong governance, and an established track record in the region. These qualities, combined with Aon’s global capabilities and expertise, will bring clear benefits for clients.

This transaction vastly increases citizen ownership with shareholders who are going to be active in the business. The transfer of equity interests in Botswana to investors with local and regional expertise, presence and commitment will allow the businesses to move quickly in line with market movements, and to introduce products that are tailored to the local market.

“Minet’s commitment and drive to incessantly adapt to changing market conditions, and to innovate to meet the unique insurance demands of the African continent, while maintaining the high standards customers have come to expect – Onsando concludes – will continue to grow and give Minet a powerful competitive edge within the African market”.
