Botswana is the fastest growing economy in history, But how could that possibly be the case? Why is it so fundamentally better off than all of those that surround it? and Is the miraculous growth just too good to be true?

Miraculously there appears to be a single extraordinary exception to the narrative of poverty in Africa. Straddling the Kalahari Desert in the interior of southern Africa lies the fastest growing economy for the last 50 years. Botswana for all intents and purposes looks identical to its neighbors and this is why in 1965 it was the 7th poorest nation on earth. But over the subsequent decades Botswana has maintained a political structure that's integrity rivals those in Europe, lifted a vast majority of its population from abject poverty, maintained civil and national peace, and invested the revenues of its natural wealth into its future and its people.

Ghana is one of the most expensive countries to live in Africa.

The price of essential goods and services has increased sharply since the beginning of the pandemic.

"It’s too much for us," some say, adding that the situation has become unbearable.

Rising fuel and food prices are affecting all parts of society. In the last four months the price of drinking water has risen twice.
