SAWOBONA!
Welcome to the website for ‘Corporate South Africa’ - the maiden edition of the annual business, trade and investment guide series.
South Africa has long been one of the continent’s most inspirational stories. An array of historical ups and downs has formed a great and resilient nation that represents a myriad of peoples. The diversity of her peoples can only be matched by the diversity of its landscape and the treasures that lie within. The country has traditionally been an abundant source of raw material for centuries and this has lead to an accompanying business savvy forging a commendable business environment that aims to be amongst the world’s most representative economies in a not-too-distant future.
But it is not without its much-publicised problems – an astonishingly high AIDS/HIV rate, elevated poverty levels that arise from unemployment as a result of the apartheid past, and worrying rampant crime are the main concerns of a country that recognises the need to bring the business community together to assist in amending these development-hampering problems for continued growth.
South Africa is a fertile place for business development that offers numerous surrounding emerging markets and a unique location in-between the Asian and American continents whilst its historical links with leading European powerhouses ensures its place in international commerce is guaranteed. All of this is in addition to a catalytic world-class infrastructure that is decades ahead of any other nation on the continent.
Although growth at over 5% has been robust, the much-noted problems of South Africa have made international news of late as concern grows over the ability of the nation to govern additional crises to the aforementioned accordingly; namely a fear-inducing power shortage, skills scarcity, meeting FIFA 2010 deadlines, and a transition at the helm of the ruling party that will translate into holding the highest post in public office.
Corporate South Africa will analyse these issues in great profundity via in-depth ground level research and articles written by journalists from top international business titles, which will be complimented by exclusive interviews with renowned visionaries and leaders from both the private and public arenas. This will result in a 150+ page annual compendium of crucial investor intelligence that cannot be overlooked by any active member of the global investment community.
