I recently I had a look at the 2015/16 Global Report from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the world’s foremost study on entrepreneurship. I’ve lived and worked both in Botswana and SA, so I was especially interested in how these two countries fared in the report. To my surprise, the two countries, though geographically adjacent to each other, were practically poles apart in the report, with SA lagging behind Botswana on several key indicators or levers of entrepreneurship.
