About

Located in Southern Africa and bordered by South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, Botswana has a population of just over 2 million. The Kalahari Desert spans 80% of the country, shaping its dry and arid climate.

Botswana is globally recognized for its political stability and strong democratic governance—the longest uninterrupted multi-party democracy on the continent. Its economy is one of Africa’s most robust, driven primarily by its rich diamond reserves. As the world’s largest producer of diamonds, Botswana has consistently maintained high economic growth since gaining independence in 1966. The population also benefits from a relatively high standard of living in the region.

Mauve Group partners with trusted local providers to support companies entering the Botswana market. Our solutions include Employer of Record (EOR) services, HR and compliance assistance, and end-to-end global payroll services.
