Major lessons from the SA Inc project
Avoid parachute/guerrilla business tactics - take time to get to know the
market, and listen to local advice;
South African products, services and companies seen as highly competent
and able to deliver high quality goods & services;
South Africa and South Africans can learn more from peer African markets
in terms of developing partnerships and relationships of trust;
Need to understand the potential implications and opportunities opening
through the Continental Free Trade Area Agreement;
Visa regulations and procedures often cited as cause for concern in bi-
lateral relations;
Xenophobia, while less incidents have taken place in recent years, South
Africa continues to be associated with such behaviours;
In some markets, e.g. Nigeria, Angola, Senegal, Mozambique there is a
sense that South Africa can do more to acknowledge the role the
continent played in the struggle for liberation;
Lengthy decision-making processes in South African corporates, and SOES
often cited as reason why business deals go southwards.
