November 2011 ISSUE 95

This month TradeInvestSA features an interview with Anglo American and their views on nationalisation as well as the industry's contribution to social development. We also look at the changing tariff structures in 2012. We get input from Rian Geldenhuys, an expert in international trade law. This month's newsletter also includes a busy events calendar and a wide array of business and investment opportunities.

FEATURE ARTICLES:
Anglo American is confident that the South African government is not going to pursue the nationalisation of the mining industry. Anglo also believes that the private sector is doing a good job in making mining a profitable sector, creating employment and contributing siginificantly to the South African economy.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES:
The Mpumalanga Province is a hugely important agricultural region of South Africa. The climate is varied and appropriate for a variety of crops. The province seeks to encourage investors to take advantage of opportunities in the province.
