Letshego is now holding on to a larger share of what it earns after tax, which is good news to investors

This came from managing money better, especially by collecting cash from customers faster.

Currency changes can help or hurt, but Letshego is staying careful—using tricks like locking rates and borrowing locally— as it continues to make money for shareholder.

Almost 90% of Letshego’s profit comes from Southern Africa. In the first half of 2025, the strongest growth came from Mozambique, Namibia, and Botswana. East and West used to make losses, but now they are beginning to add some profit. Letshego operates in 11 African countries. It gives loans to ordinary people like you and me, as well as to small business owners.

By comparison, NewPlat ETF outperformed, with its price rising nearly 42% over the same period, rewarding investors with higher gains. The performance highlights platinum’s stronger returns relative to gold in the first half of the year.

By Wednesday, Sefalana’s share price was P15.00, but Imara believes it could rise to about P18.63 — meaning the share could grow by around 24%.

“As we think about this municipal bond, at the center of it is the participation of the retail investor in helping transform the economic landscape of our municipalities,” BSE CEO Aupa Monyatsi said during the signing ceremony.

Sefalana spent big and offered discounts to win more shoppers and keep them for the future.

Fund managers help figure out the right price for shares and ordinary Batswana who are taking part in the stock market aren’t being left out in wealth building.

In Botswana, where financial literacy is low, retail investors are like a herd of cattle. The market is big, fast, and sometimes confusing. But not all cattle know the way, as long as there are shepherds.
