- Setswana Wikipedia Challenge
- Sestswana Wikipedia Challenge was sponsored by Google Inc. and the Wikimedia Foundation, with the support of a Wikimedia volunteer from Kenya. This is was an opportunity to bring Africa's information online by creating Wikipedia articles in Setswana. Participation was by translating English Wikipedia articles into Setswana or each individual participants wrote their own articles from scratch. You could choose your own topic to write about also. Every participant could translate an article about their favorite musician or sports team and however thought about what topics would be of interest to many Setswana speakers in Botswana and around the world.
- Wikimania 2012 (read in Setswana)
- Botswana turned up for Wikimania 2012 which was held at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C. for the first time in its history.
