Recently, Botswanan Parliament passed a bill that would allow the citizens in the country to run businesses from their residence without acquiring licenses. This will allow the people not only to run businesses without acquiring licenses, they can continue as long as they want from the confines of their homes. This announcement was made by the President of Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi on August 12 via his Twitter handle.
