Hope for the Cape
Article Abstract:
Cape Town, South Africa, has a reputation more for its high quality of life than as a serious business centre, but the Western Cape is working hard to promote investment from inside and outside South Africa. Although Cape Town is not as developed as Johannesburg, it is not the economic backwater it is sometimes made out to be. Several large foreign firms have made Cape Town their South African base, partly because of the quality of life and feeling of safety there. Cape Town is now trying to boost investment in order to create wealth and help solve the unemployment problem in its hinterland.
