Furthermore, the Internet expansion in Botswana is on a rise and this creates an opportunity for online finance to expand. A larger extent of adoption of online financial services has been proven to aid SMEs in their development as well as being fruitful for the society as a whole; still the adoption of online financial services among Botswana SMEs is limited.

(October. 2017), PP 44-58 www.iosrjournals.org Adoption of mMoney and mHealth in a developing country: an assessment of the network and Security challenges in Botswana Panacea N Makele, Dr.Srinath Doss PG Scholar, Department of Post Graduate Studies in Computing, Botho University, Botswana Head of Department, Faculty of Computing, Botho University, Botswana Corresponding Author: Panacea N Makele Abstract: Mobile Health (mHealth) and Mobile Money (mMoney) are leading-edge applications that can assist better people’s lives and bridge the digital gap. They are contemporary examples of Advanced Networking being put to everyday use, and demand the same considerations in relation to confidentiality, integrity and availability that are at the heart of all other applications of advanced networking infrastructure. mHealth is a way to help ease pressure on the health systems around the world. mMoney also known as branchless banking is another way of making life easier for people in Botswana and around the world. Branchless banking assists customers by saving them the trouble of going to access money from an ATM machine or having to go to a bank. This research paper explores the security and networking challenges that affect the successful adoption of mMoney and mHealth. The research methods used in this paper consist of a wide review of existing literature review and primary data collected. The data was collected using surveys, namely questionnaires and interviews. Users of mHealth and mMoney were given questionnaires to answer and were interviewed.

That was the voice of a high school freshman. He had me on the phone because his father had just taken away his computer. His offense? Cracking into my Internet account. The boy had hoped to impress me with how "kewl" he was. But before I realized he had gotten in, a sysadmin at my ISP had spotted the kid's harmless explorations and had alerted the parents. Now the boy wanted my help in getting back on line. I told the kid that I sympathized with his father. What if the sysadmin and I had been major grouches? This kid could have wound up in juvenile detention. Now I don't agree with putting harmless hackers in jail, and I would never have testified against him.
