Testimonials

A small excerpt from our partner testimonials

Testimonial from Thapelo Tsheole
Podcast guest, The Capital · 2020
Thapelo Tsheole
Thapelo Tsheole
Former Chief Executive Officer, Botswana Stock Exchange

Thapelo Tsheole joined The Capital as a guest during the platform's pilot phase in 2020, speaking on the role of the Botswana Stock Exchange in the economy, capital market access for SMEs, and the significance of the Tshipidi Board as a gateway for smaller businesses to raise equity. What stood out to him was seeing young Batswana engaging seriously with stock market data and translating it into commentary that ordinary people could actually use. He continues to follow The Capital Media's analysis on the newsletter and LinkedIn, and has noted the platform's consistency in making financial markets coverage accessible to a broader Botswana audience.

Starting Position

The Botswana Stock Exchange needed its work on market development, SME access to capital, and the Tshipidi Board to reach audiences beyond the financial sector, in plain language that business owners and young Batswana could act on.
