摘　　要：The economic development of a country and welfare of its citizenry essentially largely depend on the effective participation of its indigenous entrepreneurs. However, a casual observation of a cluster of businesses in most malls of Botswana＇s cities seems to suggest foreign dominated business ownership which the researchers proved to be correct in some areas. This does not augur well for rapid growth and development of the country＇s economy and hence the wellbeing of its citizens. Accordingly, the researchers carried out a comprehensive research on the level of indigenous entrepreneurial participation and business ownership in Botswana focusing on the second largest city, Francistown＇s retail business, and tried to establish the reasons for lack of effective indigenous entrepreneurship in the economy since the attainment of independence from colonial Britain some 46 years ago in 1966. The research paper proposes the way forward in enhancing government efforts in promoting the indigenization process aiming at poverty eradication. The research methodology used consists of observations and questionnaires. The paper merged the empirical research information with the literature.
