On 12 September, the Bank of Botswana unveiled a redesigned 50 Pula banknote to mark its 50th anniversary — and this isn’t just any banknote. It features none other than Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo, the nation’s first-ever gold medallist, alongside the men’s 4x400m relay team who brought home silver from Paris 2024. For Tebogo, whose lightning-fast races have captured the attention of the world, this is more than a personal honour. Even better, this commemorative 50 Pula isn’t just for collectors. It will circulate alongside the regular notes, meaning citizens can spend, save, and share in a small but significant piece of history.
