According to the Botswana Communications & Regulatory Authority (BOCRA) statistics, 86.16% of all eligible SIM cards have been registered for Know-Your-Customer (KYC) by the 30 June deadline.
The initial deadline for SIM card KYC registration was 31 March 2024 but had to be extended because of low registrations.
KYC-compliant numbers as of 28 March 2024 stood at 2,137,980 against a total subscriber base of 4,411,589 which translates to 48.46%, meaning that more than half of KYC-eligible SIM cards were not registered.
