In this episode of Next Africa, we examine the intensifying global race for critical minerals and how the continent can turn surging demand into lasting economic gains. One country looking to seize the opportunity is Botswana. Long known for its diamonds, the nation is now pivoting toward a more diversified minerals future. Bloomberg's Jennifer Zabasajja speaks with Minerals and Energy Minister Bogolo Kenewendo on what comes next and how Botswana plans to capture more value from its resources. Plus, from cobalt and copper to cutting-edge artificial intelligence, we explore how mineral exploration is being reshaped and why KoBold Metals is launching the largest exploration campaign of any company operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
