    Botswana’s economy has been hurt by a commodities downturn and a drought, which has put thousands of jobs at risk.

    Proprietors of the Botswana KFC franchise, VPB Propco, said in a statement KFC Botswana will cease operating next week, with all stores closed by June 5.

    KFC has restaurants in 14 countries in Africa.
