Surprisingly, the property sector in Botswana is proving rather robust, according to Williem Scholtz of Homenet Botswana Properties. It appears that the property market in Botswana has benefited from a liberal economic system and a sound economy and so the prospects for steady growth remain good.

"Numerous South African companies and multinationals are established in Botswana, creating additional demand for property, and there is a growing middle class of Botswana consumers," says Scholtz.
