Absolutely no chance, sorry. You could come to Botswana for a nice holiday, but nothing more than that.
There is a surplus of citizen pilots under 300 hours who are currently looking for work. In order to hire a non-citizen we must justify why we would hire them over a citizen. It would be the same in any country- why hire someone foreign if there are citizens who are unemployed? The only justification that we use is the "Experience" card. We can hire a foreign pilot who is "experienced" in order to fill the gap between the low-hour entry level pilots and the company's senior pilots. The magic number to be considered "experienced" used to be 500 hours (since around 2013), these days it's more like 800 hours and a caravan rating.
