AI Kgotla
A weekly live half-hour on artificial intelligence — for every Motswana.
30 minutes. One big idea. Your questions. One action to take home.
The idea
A kgotla is where a community gathers to talk, question, and decide. AI Kgotla brings that same spirit to the airwaves: no jargon, no Silicon Valley hype, just honest conversation about the technology that is reshaping work, family, money, and power — and what it means for Botswana.
Mission
Educate
Build genuine AI literacy across the country, from Gaborone to the cattle post, in plain language.
Engage
A live open mic every week: listeners' questions shape the national conversation.
Empower
Every episode ends with one concrete action a listener can take before next week.
