The Oriental Post is a Chinese‑language weekly newspaper published in Botswana, serving the Chinese community and broader readership interested in Chinese‑related news and perspectives within the region. Launched in May 2009, it was the first newspaper in Botswana printed in a major international language other than English, offering content that includes community news, business updates, cultural stories, and information about Botswana–China relations.

Published every week in tabloid format, The Oriental Post aims to promote communication and understanding between the Chinese expatriate community and local societies in Botswana, providing a platform for news, cultural exchange, and mutual engagement. It has also been associated with cooperation with larger media outlets and carries features that reflect developments both within Botswana’s Chinese diaspora and across Africa.

As a niche publication, The Oriental Post fills an important role in Botswana’s media landscape by catering to an audience that seeks news and commentary in Chinese, while also contributing to the diversity of the country’s media offerings.
