SME's - the impact of government mindset on entrepreneurship
The Botswana mindset is such that the government is keen to assist anyone who wishes to become a business owner, but at the same time they have legislated too far to try and protect the entrepreneur from themselves. As a consequence there is very little real entrepreneurship occurring.
The South African mindset is such that they only show interest in the informal sector. Many of their decisions are racially based, not from the positive perspective of helping black people disadvantaged by apartheid, but rather from the negative perspective of excluding whites from their efforts. Yet despite this both black and white poeple are going all out to become part of the formal sector business sector.
