JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Botswana's headline consumer inflation slowed to 5.6 percent year-on-year in August from 5.7 percent in July, the lowest it has been since beyond 2011, data from the statistics office showed on Friday. On a month-on-month basis CPI was steady for the third straight month at 0.2 percent, Statistics Botswana said.
