Small/informal car wash businesses in Botswana

‘’In recent years Botswana has witnessed an unprecedented boom in small business informal car washers.…This is due to a huge increase in imports of second-hand cars, thanks to former President Festus Mogae for liberalizing trade and opening up the importation of cheap Japanese second-hand cars. Now many people, who hitherto could not afford to buy a car, are now driving these cheap imported cars. Not only the working class can afford to buy them, but also even students can save and buy them from their allowances’’ (Marobela, Mebratu-Beyene, and Shunda 2016).
