South Africa already produces one third of gross domestic product and continental stops running. Now points to the development of civil nuclear power, according to South Korea remains the fact that most of the black population does not participate in the banquet. After the success of the World Cup - a unique business card in world vision of a country and a continent that is changing -, South Africa continues to think big. The Moses Mabida Stadium in Durban and the whole area around it will be the focus of the Rainbow Nation's candidature for the Olympic Games in 2024, which is the next ambition which tend visionary politicians of this country. The stadium in Durban is perhaps the most beautiful and futuristic among the ten that have hosted the World Cup: it has the oval surmounted by a huge central arch of steel, 305 meters long and the top center, 105 meters, begins with two arms that become a single arm on the other hand, as the flag of South Africa. To symbolize two different people who come and divided. It's not all. South Africa alone produces a third of gross domestic product of the continent. It is the first African country joined the G-20. You can say on behalf of all altri.Se you look at the rankings of the top 50 African firms by turnover, we find that 32 are based in South Africa. And they are not small companies. SAB Miller (South African Breweries) is established in 10 African countries, where it has opened 30 bottling and manufacturing facilities, while in 18 other countries is associated with local partners. It is now the largest producer of beer, not only in Africa but around the world. The South African bank Standard Chartered has 1,100 branches, ATMs and more than 5 thousand 10 thousand employees in 16 African countries. The Mtn, mobile operator, main sponsor of the World Cup (more than Nike and McDonald's), is the leading mobile operator in Africa Central West, with more than 40 million subscribers. Sasol, the energy company that produces 95% of the country, extracts oil and gas in Nigeria and Mozambique, and operates in Mali and Uganda.
I repeat: we are not talking about small businesses. The last company ranked by revenue, in the top 50 majors on the continent, is the group insurance South African Liberty, which has a turnover of 2.4 billion dollars a year.
Many people have noticed the race of the South African. The American Wal-Mart, the first group of large retailers in the world, prepares to expand in South Africa has just completed the acquisition with $ 4.2 billion, of Massmart, the third chain of stores in the country, which operates in 12 African countries through a network of 290 outlets. The move by Wal-Mart, which has more than 4 thousand malls scattered in 14 countries, is linked to the current weakness of the U.S. market, which is pushing the company to cut costs and international growth.
Dai supermercati alle centrali nucleari… La Corea del Sud, poche settimane fa, ha firmato un accordo di cooperazione con il Sudafrica per lo sviluppo del nucleare civile. Nel corso dell’incontro bilaterale a Seoul con il vicepresidente sudafricano Kgalema Motlanthe, il presidente sud-coreano Lee Myung-Bak ha ribadito l’intenzione d’incrementare l’export della tecnologia nucleare sud-coreana e di «partecipare attivamente allo sviluppo di progetti energetici, in particolare alla costruzione di centrali nucleari in Sudafrica». Poco prima, il ministro sudafricano per l’energia, Elizabeth Dipuo Peters, e un responsabile sud-coreano del ministero degli esteri avevano firmato un accordo di cooperazione nucleare riguardante areas of research, development and exchange of personnel. South Africa has developed a plan to develop long-term energy, which also includes the construction of nuclear plants, France has informed the press Thabo Masebe, spokesman for the Vice President Motlanthe.
However, despite its recent economic successes, South Africa is still divided, no longer the color of their skin but by the economic contrast between the rich - the new middle class, even in color - and the vast majority of black people, the majority in the country, who still lives with the specter of poverty, with per capita income of two dollars a day, with high unemployment, a poor school system and crime rates among the highest in the world.
