KFC Botswana
KFC Botswana is a prominent player in the country’s fast-food sector, currently operating under a joint venture established in 2017 between Vivo Energy Botswana and Baobab Khulisani South Africa. This partnership, known as Baobab Energy Botswana, took over the franchise following a liquidation process involving the previous owners, VPB Propco. Under this new management, the brand has stabilized and expanded its footprint significantly, growing to approximately 19 outlets by early 2024. The chain maintains a strong presence in major urban centers such as Gaborone and Francistown, while also serving smaller communities like Maun, Kasane, and Mogoditshane, often leveraging Vivo Energy’s network to place restaurants at Shell service stations.
In terms of offerings, the franchise adapts the global KFC menu to suit local tastes, serving standard favorites like Original Recipe chicken and Zinger burgers alongside regionally popular sides such as pap and morogo. Beyond its commercial operations, the brand is actively involved in social responsibility through its “Add Hope” initiative, which encourages customers to make small voluntary donations that are matched by the company. These funds support various local beneficiaries, including SOS Children’s Villages and Childline, helping to provide nutritious meals to underprivileged children across Botswana.
