The latest population census of Botswana shows that the population of that country is just over 2 million. about 75% of the people in Botswana are ethnic Batswana (i.e. they are not called Batswana due to residing in a country called Botswana). These are, as it were the custodians of the language in Botswana. this is 1.75 million.

In South Africa (the cradle of all Setswana speakers merafe) there were about 4 million in the last population census. so 5 million would be a good guess. Many people believe that the Batswana (in the ethnic sense and not geopolitical) are originally from Botswana. The fact is they are from South Africa originally, and this is where the majority of all Batswana reside.

Namibia had about 30,000. I guess they are bout 40,000 presently.
