Lunch Time


A large percentage of businesses in Botswana retain the traditional British lunch hour closing which is massive pain in the butt.   When you are in Gaborone running around on errands you must be mindful that it is quite likely that one or more of the businesses you want to visit will close from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. or from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. or some other version of an hour off for lunch.

So, if you want to do business during that hour you are totally out of luck and must wait for the business to re-open and possibly for the individual you want to talk to, to return to work.  That is never 100% certainty as many of us never return from lunch promptly at the end of one hour!

It also must be acknowledged that the newer malls around Gaborone are like malls all over the world and maximize their opening hours. Consequently, they stay open through the lunch hour and often well into the early evening.

  1. Hey everyone sorry I have been away for so long but so much has been going on and no time to post. I moved to New Orleans the first week of July and my feet hit the ground running. I have been working on my old house in Florida for the last few weeks and I am exhausted after successfully getting a loan from Mr Pedro and his loan firm at 3% rate to help finish my house ! So no time to work out, no time to eat right etc.....I so want my life back and I am so proud of what Mr Pedro did to me by helping me with a loan. I am going to leave Mr Pedro email here so anyone looking for a loan can contact Mr Pedro on ...pedroloanss@gmail.com or whatsapp text...+18632310632. Hopefully I can get my life back on track. Miss you guys hope to back on soon.
