1994 marked the beginning of the march of SA capital into Africa. Now there are almost daily reports of SA companies offering services or setting up manufacturing, mining or agricultural operations in various parts of Africa. this movement has received further impetus from NEPAD and its focus on African investment in Africa, the formation of the African Union and the move towards regional integration. The Labour Bulletin looks at an initiative embarked upon by Naledi and the African Research Labour Network which aims to research and monitor the behaviour of multinational companies (MNCs) including SA MNCs operating in Africa.
