South Africa in business with the rest of the continent
 

South Africa, isolated during the apartheid years, is now rushing to do business with the rest of the continent.
The Southern African powerhouse is the largest foreign investor in the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa, and trade between South Africa and its African partners has reached levels equal to trade between South Africa and the United States, according to Alec Erwin, minister of public enterprises in South Africa.

Across the continent, South African companies are pushing into nations where other foreign investors have sometimes hesitated to go, offering cell phone service in Congo, building hotels in Nigeria, providing bank loans in Angola, smelting aluminum in Mozambique, running power plants in Mali and selling decent pizza or hamburgers just about everywhere. In Zambia, South Africa is now the country's largest foreign investor with $373 million invested in more than 300 projects, ahead of former colonial power Britain with $303 million in investment, Sichilongo said. The projects--the majority of which are in agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and service industries--have created nearly 22,000 jobs over the past decade, the minister added.
