Yesterday’s announcement of Linah Mohohlo’s impending retirement as Bank of Botswana governor, has thrown the race wide open for her replacement, with a handful of candidates said to be in the running.

Mohohlo steps down on October 20, following 17 years as governor and a total of 23 years with the central bank.

In the months ahead of her retirement, speculation had been building on her potential successor, particularly after the February exit of her deputy, Oduetse Motshidisi. Motshidisi, the more senior of the Mohohlo’s two deputies, retired after 27 years with the Bank.
