Article Abstract:
South Africa has historic links with Asian countries that were broken with the introduction of apartheid in 1948. These ties are being restored with modern South Africa which has seen its share of investment from Asia increase. Tourism from Asia is growing and Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and others have increased the number of flights they operate to South African destinations. BMW South Africa finds the Indian Ocean Rim a favorable market and exports cars from South Africa to Pakistan.

A solid basis for growth
Article Abstract:
South African finance minister Chris Liebenberg resigned after 18 months leaving a solid foundation for growth for his successor Trevor Manuel. Liebenberg's term of office was market by growth in exports, a decline in the inflation rate, a reduction in the budget deficit and an increase in foreign and gold reserves. The South African currency remains problematic, however, and declined sharply against the dollar in early 1996.

Factors relating to this lack of growth include: political instability and risk, bureaucratic red tape, reliance on importing rather than exporting industries, and lack of intra-region cooperation.
