South Africa is at a crossroads. On the one hand, the nation has the continent's strongest manufacturing base, one of the most educated populations, and is one of the three largest economies on the entire continent. On the other hand, the South African government has been thinking about passing devastating 'Expropriation without Compensation' legislation and is flirting with further protectionism by instituting 'Localisation' plans. Where is South Africa headed? Is there hope for this nation?
