Though quantitative in its coverage and discussion, the article was helpful in generating the finding that BEE transactions are considered vital for a business or company to enter and succeed in the South African market, while at the same time reinforcing once again the "black" identity of the country -- a reinstatement of black African culture and society in the post-apartheid South Africa. In effect, the article touches an important international dimension to apartheid -- how, in the 21st century, South Africa has evolved and returned to its original identity as a 'black man's society, politically and economically.
Elder, G. (2003). "Malevolent Traditions: Hostel violence and the procreational geography of Apartheid." Journal of Southern African Studies, Volume 29, Number 4. The "economical geography of apartheid" that the author noted in the article was his own way of conceptualizing the gender conflict that happened between males and females as each tried to make sense of the newly-acquired independence that the black society had during the post-apartheid period. What emerged from this conflict is the finding that compared to pre-apartheid period, people have become more accepting of female assertiveness as well. In effect, "hotel politics" as described by Elder in the article showed a growing receptiveness to female and male power in the country (i.e., heteromasculinity power in social…
This article covers one facet or dimension, internationally, of segregation or apartheid in South Africa. In this article, the authors discussed the concept of black economic empowerment (BEE) transactions that have been occurring after the abolition of apartheid in the country. The authors monitor the economic transitions that happened as a result of these economic transactions, and the implications of these measures to the society and the South African natives, specifically.

This article centers on the issue of violence that are still occurring as South Africa approaches a transition between apartheid and post-apartheid practices. The "economical geography of apartheid" that the author noted in the article was his own way of conceptualizing the gender conflict that happened between males and females as each tried to make sense of the newly-acquired independence that the black society had during the post-apartheid period. What emerged from this conflict is the finding that compared to pre-apartheid period, people have become more accepting of female assertiveness as well. In effect, "hotel politics" as described by Elder in the article showed a growing receptiveness to female and male power in the country (i.e., heteromasculinity power in social politics).
The laws of South Africa has been constituted and formed, as a result of the influence from the English laws in procedure. 6. Environmental Concerns Where it has been observed that South Africa is full of resources, on the other hand, it has also come to notice that environmental concerns also loom large as one of the issues that needs grave consideration. Amongst the environmental concerns, air pollution, marine pollution, soil
Almost a third of the government's total revenue emanate from indirect taxes, mainly from value-added taxes (Brand South Africa, Niekerk). 3. privatization -- this process was viewed to create a robust flow of business opportunities in the next many years at a range of 100-150 billion South African Rands (PGI 2012). This is equivalent to U.S.$12-20 billion. There will be estimated and sustained business acquisition opportunities in agribusiness, agriculture and
In 1990, Africa had 2% of the world's telephones, but in 2000 it had only 0.8%. (These data, taken from International Telecommunications Union tables, represent fixed lines, not wireless, and there are now more mobile telephone subscribers in Africa than fixed-line subscribers. 3 Nevertheless, with about 12% of the world's population, Africa is far behind in per capita telephone subscribers.) (Hundley, Anderson, Bikson & Neu, 2003, p. 126) More specifically, even
South Africa The Republic of South Africa as it is officially known is a burgeoning international market for trade and investment. Since the establishment of freedom from apartheid in 1994 the country has seen dramatic political, economic, cultural, and legal changes that have brought it to the forefront of international business. The economic picture of the country is a in a growth phase and will continue to be, if the conditions
Direct political involvement and aid, however, has not been as noticeable or as openly accepted in the past decade and a half. Part of this resistance to foreign influence is a direct result of South Africa's long submission to colonial or Europeanized rule, first by the Germanic Afrikaners and subsequently by the British (and the Afrikaners at the same time), and finally by the white government that intermingled European settlers
South Africa -- Past and Present Rather than a mere struggle between black and white Marina Ottaway suggests that the conflicts in South Africa that hampered the nation's transition from apartheid to a fuller participatory government lay in the factionalism present in all of the representative bodies involved in the negotiations. (Ottaway, 1993) Although Ottaway's text ends before the configuration of the final ruling government body that governs South Africa, many
