With the use of Twitter and different podcasts, BWConnecSpaces will produce content for and by Botswana and African experts and thought leaders.

Produced fortnightly, recorded podcasts of BWConnecSpaces can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify several, Google podcasts, and Anchor. Absa Bank Botswana, Head of Marketing and Corporate Relations Dennis Mambure said the partnership with BWConnecSpaces, announced at the end of May, is one of the means through which "we live our purpose of helping Batswana find ways to get things done". “Driving entrepreneurial growth remains one of our key focus areas.

This has been demonstrated through the Absa Bank Enterprise and Supply Chain Development Programme. “We believe in creating opportunities for our clients, customers, and communities, recognising their potential, and supporting them every step of the way to achieve their goals.

Absa Bank Botswana's strategy is anchored in the concept of shared values, leveraging the bank’s core business and know-how to drive societal and economic change. As a leading, purpose-led African bank, Absa is inspired to unlock the potential of the continent and its people,” he said.
