Social Light is headquartered in Gaborone. We monitor Botswana's newspapers, radio stations, television, online news and social media, including the regional weeklies and community sources that international platforms do not index, and tell you about a story while you can still act on it.
A story in Botswana often starts in a weekly paper, on a community radio phone-in or in a Facebook group before it reaches national coverage. Platforms built for other markets miss most of those sources. Our analysts live here, read the coverage in the language it was published in, and understand the context behind it.
Banks, mining companies, public institutions and agencies across Botswana rely on Social Light to know what is being said about them while there is still something to be done about it.

Yes. Radio and television are captured and transcribed at segment level, with airtime recorded per mention, including community radio.
Alerts go out at the moment a story publishes, across every channel in your scope, rather than in a digest the next morning. They are routed to the people who can act on them, not to a shared inbox.
Yes. Creating an account takes about ten minutes and does not ask for a card. Nothing is charged until you choose a package. You can also book a demo, or take our free media intelligence assessment to see how much of your own coverage you are currently seeing.
