Nice a Botswana thread. I've been considering moving there but getting citizenship as a foreigner is pretty difficult I think. I've been a few times. Super nice country, inoffensive blacks and pretty quiet not much crime like South Africa and everything is cheap as fuck. Can get a 2 bedroom apartment in Gaborone for like $150 a month. If you have a remote job you can have western wages and third world prices and it's super nice. Last time I went I bought like 10 Chinese button ups at a market for $1 each and now I can dress like an African Uber electric bike rider.
>>507804065 Too bad half the White population of Botswana left the country. It's only at 53k now and most of them are old, the youth are all in the West and maybe South Africa.
Botswana is doing decently from what i can tell, at least relative to the rest of Africa. But at the end of the day their fertility rate has hit the wall and the countries population will start falling in a decade or so, and given the country has a population of like 2.5mil and is less dense than Canada (and unlike Canada lacks significant immigration) it's unlikely they'll be able to do too much going forward.

>>507802927 (OP) Namibia is pretty comfy too Same with Rwanda I think those are the only African countries worth living in, if you were force to pick an African country South Africa is nightmare fuel despite having the best spots in terms of real estate

>>507802927 (OP) Botswana has some of the worst inequality in the world, it's still a shithole for most people. Only the top few live well. South Africa is the same. It's just the nature of mineral extraction rackets disguised as countries.

>>507806225 It sucks that South Africa has all the crime it has I would love to live there. The white people there remind me a lot of Australians.
