Botswana's national utility has suspended electricity supply to South Africa under an existing power-supply agreement.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
TOTAL BS — Verdict: False
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
The evidence does not support any suspension of Botswana electricity exports to South Africa. Available official and news sources instead describe the main cross-border relationship as Eskom supplying Botswana, with Botswana often operating as a net importer during shortages. No credible primary source confirms an existing Botswana-to-South Africa supply agreement that BPC suspended.
Caveats
The claim reverses the documented direction of the power relationship: the evidence points to South Africa supplying Botswana, not the reverse.
No official announcement from BPC, the Botswana government, Eskom, or SAPP confirms any such suspension.
Historical or occasional regional exports by Botswana should not be confused with a firm existing supply agreement to South Africa.
