The small, mobile bands of Stone-Age hunter- gatherers, who created a wealth of rock art, were the ancestors of the Khoikhoi and San of historical times. The Khoikhoin and San (the "Hottentots" and

"Bushmen" of early European terminology), although collectively known as the Khoisan, are often thought of as distinct peoples.

At several archaeological sites, such as Mapungubwe and Thulamela in the Limpopo Valley, there is evidence of sophisticated political and material cultures, based in part on contact with the East African trading economy.

time, Bantu-speaking agropastoralists began arriving in southern Africa, bringing with them an iron-age culture and domesticated crops. After establishing themselves in the well-watered eastern coastal region of southern Africa, these farmers spread out across the interior plateau, or "highveld", where they adopted a more extensive cattle-farming culture.

Chiefdoms arose, based on control over cattle, which gave rise to systems of patronage and hence hierarchies of authority within communities.

Metallurgical skills, developed in the mining and processing of iron, copper, tin and gold, promoted regional trade and craft specialisation.

from the dispersed homesteads of the fertile coastal regions in the east, to the concentrated towns of the desert fringes in the west.

The farmers did not, however, extend their settlement into the western desert or the winter-rainfall region in the south-west. These regions remained the preserve of the Khoisan until Europeans put down roots

at the Cape of Good Hope.

Currently, aided by modern science in uncovering the continent's past, which forms part of the African Renaissance, South Africa is gaining a greater understanding of its rich precolonial past.

In 1652, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) set up a station in Table Bay (Cape Town) to provision

passing ships. Trade with the Khoekhoe(n) for slaughter stock soon degenerated into raiding and warfare. Beginning in 1657, European settlers were allotted farms by the colonial authorities in the arable regions around Cape Town, where wine and wheat became the major products. In response to the colonists' demand for labour, the VOC imported slaves from East Africa, Madagascar, and its possessions from

and wheat became the major products. In response to the colonists' demand for labour, the VOC imported slaves from East Africa, Madagascar, and its possessions from the East Indies.

By the early 1700s, the colonists had begun to spread into the hinterland beyond the nearest mountain ranges. These relatively independent and mobile farmers (trekboers), who lived as pastoralists and hunters, were largely free from supervision by the Dutch authorities.

SOUTH AFRICAN CONTINUED

The most important representative of the mission movement in South Africa was Dr John Philip, who arrived as superintendent of the London Missionary Society in 1819. His campaign on behalf of the oppressed Khoisan coincided with a high point in official sympathy for philanthropic concerns.

One result was Ordinance 50 of 1828, which guaranteed equal civil rights for "people of colour" within the colony and freed them from legal

The British colonial era

In 1795, the British occupied the Cape as a strategic base against the French, controlling the sea route to the East.

After a brief reversion to the Dutch in the course of the Napoleonic wars, it was retaken in 1806 and kept by Britain in the post-war settlement of territorial claims. The closed and regulated economic system of the Dutch period was swept away as the Cape Colony was

integrated into the dynamic international trading empire of industrialising Britain.

A crucial new element was

evangelicalism, brought to

the Cape by Protestant

missionaries. The

evangelicals believed in

the liberating effect of

"free" labour and in the

"civilising mission" of

British imperialism. They

were convinced that

indigenous peoples could

be fully assimilated into

European Christian culture

once the shackles of

oppression had been

removed.

discrimination. At the same time, a powerful anti-slavery movement in Britain promoted a series of ameliorative measures, imposed on the colonies in the 1820s, and the proclamation of emancipation, which came into force in 1834. The slaves were subject to a four-year period of "apprenticeship" with their former owners, on the grounds that they must be prepared for freedom, which came on 1 December 1838.

Although slavery had

become less profitable because of a depression in the wine industry, Cape slave-owners rallied to oppose emancipation. The compensation money, which the British treasury paid out to sweeten the pill, injected unprecedented liquidity into the stagnant local economy. This brought a spurt of company formation, such as banks and insurance companies, as well as a surge of investment in land and wool sheep in the drier regions of the colony, in the late 1830s.

For the ex-slaves, as for the Khoisan servants, the reality of freedom was very different from the promise. As a wage-based economy developed, they remained dispossessed and exploited, with little opportunity to escape their servile lot.


Government policy in the Union of South Africa did not develop in isolation, but against the backdrop of black political initiatives. Segregation and apartheid assumed their shape, in part, as a white response to Africans' increasing participation in the country's economic life and their assertion of political rights. Despite the government's efforts to shore up traditionalism and retribalise them, black

Increasingly, they were lumped together as the "coloured" people, a group which included the descendants of unions between indigenous and European peoples, and a substantial Muslim minority who became known as the "Cape Malays" (misleadingly, as they mostly came from the Indonesian archipelago).

The coloured people were discriminated against on account of their working-class status as well as their racial identity. Among the poor, especially in and around Cape Town, there continued to be a great deal of racial mixing and intermarriage throughout the 1800s.

An educated élite of clerics, teachers, business people, journalists and professionals grew to be a major force in black politics.

The

experiences of studying abroad, and in particular, interaction with black people struggling for their rights elsewhere in Africa, the United States of America and the Caribbean, played an important part.

The change was marked by the formation of the ANC Youth League in 1943, fostering the leadership of figures such as Anton Lembede, AP Mda, Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo and Walter Sisulu, who were to inspire the struggle for decades to come.

In the 1940s, squatter movements in peri-urban areas brought mass politics back to the urban centres. The 1946 Mineworkers' Strike was a turning point in the emergence of a politics of mass mobilisation.

The end of apartheid

The introduction of apartheid policies coincided with the adoption by the ANC in 1949 of its programme of action, expressing the renewed militancy of the 1940s. The programme embodied the rejection of white domination and a call for action in the form of protests, strikes and demonstrations. There followed a decade of turbulent mass action in resistance to the imposition of still harsher forms of segregation and oppression.


The First Decade of Freedom

After a long negotiation process, sustained despite much opportunistic violence from the right wing and its surrogates, and in some instances sanctioned by elements of the state, South Africa's first democratic election was held in April 1994 under an interim Constitution.

The interim Constitution

South Africa continued:

The Defiance Campaign of 1952 carried mass mobilisation to new heights under the banner of non-violent resistance to the pass laws. These actions were influenced in part by the philosophy of Mohandas Gandhi.

A critical step in the emergence of non-racialism was the formation of the Congress Alliance, including the ANC; South African Indian Congress; the Coloured People's Congress; a small white congress organisation (the Congress of Democrats); and the South African Congress of Trade

Unions.

The alliance gave formal

divided South Africa into nine new provinces in place of the previous four provinces and 10 "homelands", and provided for the Government of National Unity to be constituted by all parties with at least 20 seats in the National Assembly.

The NP and the IFP formed part of the Government of National Unity until 1996, when the NP withdrew. The ANC-led Government embarked on a programme to promote the reconstruction and development of the

country and its institutions.

This called for the simultaneous pursuit of democratisation and socio-economic change, as well as reconciliation and the building of consensus founded on the commitment to improve the lives of all South Africans, in particular the poor. It required the integration of South Africa into a rapidly changing global environment.

The Second Decade of Freedom

When South Africa celebrated 10 years of freedom in 2004, there were celebrations across the world in countries whose peoples had helped to bring freedom to South Africa through their solidarity, and who today are partners in reconstruction and development.

As government took stock of the First Decade of Freedom in Towards a Ten Year Review, it was able to document great progress by South Africans in pursuit of their goals, as well as the challenges that face the nation as it traverses the second decade of its freedom towards 2014.

In its third democratic elections, in April 2004, the country gave an increased mandate to the Government’s programme for reconstruction and development and for the entrenchment of the rights inscribed in the Constitution. It mandated government specifically to create the conditions for halving unemployment and poverty by 2014.

Following these elections, President Thabo Mbeki was appointed to a second term of office as President of South Africa – a position he relinquished in September 2008, following the decision of the National Executive Committee of the ANC to recall him. Parliament elected Kgalema Motlanthe as President of South Africa on 25 September 2008.

Local government elections in 2006, following a long period of civic unrest as communities protested against a mixed record of service delivery, saw increased participation compared with the previous local elections, as well as increased support for the ruling party based on a manifesto for a concerted effort, in partnership with communities, to make local government work better.

South Africa held national and provincial elections to elect a new National Assembly as well as the provincial legislature in each province on 22 April 2009. Some 23 million people were registered for the 2009 general election, which were about 2,5 million more than in 2004. About 77% of registered voters took part in the election. The results for the top five parties were as follows: the ANC achieved 65,9%; the DA 16,6%; the newlyformed Congress of the People 7,4%; the IFP 4,5%; and the Independent Democrats 0,9% of the votes cast.

Jacob Zuma was inaugurated as President of South Africa on 9 May 2009. Shortly thereafter, President Zuma announced several changes to current government departments and the creation of new structures within The Presidency. The latter essentially comprises the Ministry for Performance Monitoring, Evaluation and Administration and the National Planning Ministry, in keeping with the new administration's approach to intensify government delivery through an outcomes-based approach, coupled with a government-wide monitoring and evaluation system.

Government adopted 14 outcomes as its focus areas. These include among other things:

improving the quality of basic education and health services

strengthening the fight against crime

creating decent employment through inclusive growth

boosting skills development.

It also included ensuring food security for all, building sustainable human settlements and an improved quality of household life, improving local government structures and an efficient and development-oriented public service.

A significant milestone for South Africa in the Second Decade of Freedom was the successful hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.

The tournament, which was the first World Cup on African soil, demonstrated that South Africa has the infrastructure and capability to warrant serious investment consideration. It also showcased South Africa and its people to the world.

The 2011 local government elections, held in May, were characterised by lively and respectful campaigning with all political parties free to engage with voters in all areas. The Independent Electoral Commission high-lighted decreased voter apathy and achieved an impressive 57,6% registered voter turn-out – an improvement from the previous local government elections, which scored below the 50% mark. The ANC won the highest number of seats and councils – 198 councils and 5 633 seats, constituting 62% of the vote. The DA came second with 18 councils,1 555 seats and 23,9% support. The ANC and DA were followed by the IFP and Cope.

As part of government's commitment to secure a better quality of life for all, the National Planning Commission (NPC) in The Presidency finalised the draft National Development Plan: Vision for 2030 in 2011. The plan was a step in the process of charting a new path for South Africa.

By 2030, government seeks to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality. The plan was the product of not just the NPC but also tens of thousands of ordinary South Africans who shared their dreams, hopes and ideas for the future.

In August 2012, the then Chairperson of the NPC, Minister Trevor Manuel, handed the revised National Development Plan 2030 over to President Zuma during a Joint Sitting of both Houses in Parliament. The revised document, entitled Our future – make it work, is a policy blueprint for eliminating poverty and reducing inequality in South Africa by 2030.

Implementation of the plan will be broken up into five-year chunks, in line with the electoral cycle, with the 2014 to 2019 medium-term strategic framework forming the first five-year building block of the plan.

The Presidency will lead the formulation of the 2014 to 2019 medium-term strategic framework, which includes key targets from the NDP and other plans such as the New Growth Path, National Infrastructure Plan and Industry Policy Action Plan.

The Presidency and National Treasury will work with government departments to clarify roles and responsibilities, ensure that plans and budgets are aligned, and develop clear performance indicators for each programme.

Government will focus on areas where implementation of existing policies need to improve and hold focused dialogues to overcome obstacles to implementation. It will also engage with other sectors to understand how they are contributing to the NDP's implementation and to identify any obstacles they face.

The 2019 to 2024 and 2024 to 2029 planning cycles will be used to initiate the remaining activities and will be informed by a performance review of the previous cycle.

The objective of a better life for the people of South Africa, the continent of Africa and the world at large was at the heart of the country's successful hosting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's 17th Conference of the Parties in Durban towards the end of 2011. Aware of the fact that Africa is the continent most affected by the impact of climate change, South Africa was committed to ensure that Durban delivered a fair and balanced outcome that would help secure the future of our planet. The resulting Durban Platform outcome was a coup for South Africa and the African continent.

South Africa has continued to build on its international profile. On 1 January 2011, South Africa began its second term as a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for the period 2011 and 2012. South Africa served alongside the permanent five members, China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and elected members Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Colombia, Gabon, Germany, India, Lebanon, Nigeria and Portugal. It was the UNSC President in January 2012, which saw the adoption of Resolution 2033 that provides for closer cooperation between the UN and the African Union (AU).

In the conduct of its international relations, South Africa is committed to garner support for its domestic priorities, promote the interests of the African continent, enhance democracy and human rights, uphold justice and international law in relations between nations, seek the peaceful resolution of conflicts and promote economic development through regional and international cooperation in an interdependent world.

On 8 January 2012, Africa's oldest liberation movement, the ANC, celebrated 100 years of existence. This was a historic achievement, not only for the movement, but also for South Africa, the continent and the world. Thousands

of ordinary South Africans, political and religious leaders attended the centenary celebrations which were held in Mangaung, Free State, the birthplace of the ANC.

On 25 May 2012 the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Organisation announced that the SKA Project would be shared between South Africa and Australia, with a majority share coming to South Africa.

The full dish array and the dense aperture array will be built in Africa. The core, i.e. the region with the highest concentration of receiv- ers, will be constructed in the Northern Cape, about 80 km from the town of Carnarvon (the same site where the MeerKAT is being constructed). The sparse aperture array (low-fre- quency array) will be built in Western Australia.

Over the next four years, teams of radio astronomy scientists and engineers from around the world will work together to scope and finalise the design of the SKA.

In July 2012, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, then Minister of Home Affairs, was elected as the first female head of the AU Commission and the first person from South Africa to hold this position. In September 2012, she received the UN South-South Award for Global Leadership.

In November 2012, South Africa was elected by the members of the UN General Assembly to the UN’s 47-member Economic and Social Coun- cil (Ecosoc). It is one of the principal organs of the UN, alongside the Security Council and General Assembly. South Africa completed its two-year non-renewable, non-permanent membership of the Security Council on 31 December 2012, and immediately assumed the membership of Ecosoc on 1 January 2013. South Africa last served in Ecosoc from 2004 to 2006.

Released in September 2012, the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2012/13 confirmed that South Africa remained the most competitive economy in sub-Saharan Africa.

On 30 October 2012, Statistics South Africa released the Census 2011 results. The census, which analysed the country’s demographics, population distribution and access to services, average household size, income, migration, and mortality, was the third national population and housing count in post-apartheid South Africa. Results showed that the country’s population grew to 51,8 million people from 44,8 million in 2001, representing a 15,5% increase over the last decade.

In December 2012, President Zuma was re-elected as the president of the ANC during the ruling party’s congress in Mangaung. Cyril Ramaphosa was elected as the party’s deputy president.

In July 2013, Ms Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka was appointed executive director of the UN Women Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women, and Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi was appointed director in the UN Development Programme’s Bureau for Development Policy.

While receiving intensive medical care at home for a lung infection after spending three months in hospital, South Africa’s first democratically elected President and anti-apartheid icon, Nelson Mandela, died at the age of 95, on 5 December 2013.

Mr Mandela led South Africa’s transition from white-minority rule in the 1990s, after serving 27 years in prison for his political activities.

His body lay in state at the Union Buildings from 11 to 13 December. He was buried in his home town of Qunu in the Eastern Cape on 15 December 2013.

South Africa celebrated 20 Years of Freedom in 2014, which was a historic milestone for the country.

The Twenty Year Review, which was released in 2013, and the National Planning Commission’s 2011 Diagnostic Report, highlight that poverty, inequality and unemployment continue to negatively affect the lives of many people.

Despite progress in reducing rural poverty and increasing access to basic services in rural areas over the past 20 years, rural areas are still characterised by great poverty and inequality. As stated in the NDP, by 2030 South Africa’s rural communities must have better opportunities to participate fully in the economic, social and political life of the country.

Government’s programme of radical economic transformation is about placing the economy on a qualitatively different path that ensures more rapid, sustainable growth, higher investment, increased employment, reduced inequality and deracialisation of the economy. The NDP sets a growth target of at least 5% a year, and emphasises measures to ensure that the benefits of growth are equitably shared.

The 2014 South African general election to elect a new National Assembly and new provincial legislatures in

10

each province was held on 7 May 2014. It was the fifth election held in South Africa under conditions of universal adult suffrage since the end of the apartheid era in 1994, and the first held since the death of Nelson Mandela. It was also the first time that South African expatriates were allowed to vote in a South African national election.

The National Assembly election was won by the ANC (62,1%). The official opposition, Democratic Alliance (DA) won 22,2% of the votes, while the newly formed Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) obtained 6,4% of the vote. Eight of the nine provincial legislatures were won by the ANC. The EFF obtained over 10% of the votes in Gauteng, Limpopo and North West, and beat the DA to second place in Limpopo and North West. In the other six provinces won by the ANC, the DA obtained second place. In the Western Cape, the only province not won by the ANC, the DA increased its majority from 51,5% to 59,4%.

The September 2014 Quarterly Employment Statistics report, released on 11 December 2014, showed that despite job losses recorded in some of the sectors of the economy, there were quarter- on-quarter increases reported by the mining (8 000), finance (6 000) and trade (4 000) industries.

Year-on-year, an additional 83 000 formal jobs were created between September 2013 and September 2014. This reflects an annual increase of 1,0%. The largest increase was recorded by community services industry (73 000), followed by the trade and finance industries, with 21 000 and 20 000 jobs respectively.

Gross earnings paid to employees increased by R18,9 billion from R409 billion in June 2014 to R428 billion in September 2014. The mining industry recorded the largest quarterly percentage increase of 20,9% in earnings

Richard's Bay

The port of Richards Bay lies 160km north-east of Durban on the eastern seaboard of South Africa and was established in 1976 primarily to handle coal exports. It has grown since the 1970s, with the addition of a new berth on average every two years. It currently registers 23 berths, ranging up to 350m in length, and has a 300m-wide entrance channel. Six cargo-handling terminals for specialised cargo, rapid vessel turnaround, a deep-water infrastructure and excellent inland rail links make Richards Bay one of the world’s leading bulk ports. It handles about 60% of South Africa’s annual seaborne cargo.

Durban

Thanks to its strategic position along international shipping routes, Durban is one of the busiest ports in Africa, handling

more than 80-million tons of cargo per annum. It remains the leading port in the SADC region and an important sea trade

gateway between South-South trade, Far East trade, Europe and the USA, East and West Africa regional trade. About 60%

of all imports and exports into South Africa pass through the port of Durban, which plays a pivotal role in facilitating the


country’s economic growth. Cruise traffic is diverted to N Shed, T-Jetty, a dedicated passenger terminal facility. The port

has 58 berths ranging from 148m to 350m, with depths of up to 12.2m.

East London

The only commercial river port on the South African coastline, East London lies at the mouth of the Buffalo River, 950km east of Cape Town and 460km south of Durban on the eastern seaboard. Centrally located from a national and international perspective, East London is strategically positioned to act as a gateway between Africa and the global market. The port also has a limited fishing industry base under private ownership. There are 11 commercial berths ranging up to 250m in length. Although there are no official berths for cruise liners, G berth is generally used due to its easy access and close location to the city centre and beachfront. East London has a limited, privately-owned base used by the fishing industry.

Nqgura

The newest port in South Africa is Ngqura, a deep-water harbour on the east coast, 20km north-east of Port Elizabeth and midway between Durban and Cape Town. It became operational in 2009 and forms part of the Coega Industrial Development Zone. Ngqura is a world-class, transhipment hub offering an integrated, efficient and competitive port service for containers en route to the global market and within the sub-Saharan Africa region. It is the only port in South Africa that boasts environmental authorisation for its construction and operation. At 2 610m in length, Ngqura’s eastern breakwater is the longest in South Africa, designed to withstand wave heights of up to nine metres.

Port Elizabeth

- Situated in Algoa Bay, on the south-eastern coast, Port Elizabeth features direct transport links into the heart of the African continent. As a congestion-free hub, Port Elizabeth is able to maintain high cargo handling rates and offer fast and efficient ship turnaround. The port is equipped to handle dry bulk, bulk liquid, general cargo and container cargo. Passenger ships generally use of one of the fruit terminal berths when calling at Port Elizabeth. There are 12 berths ranging up to 318.5m length. The port’s container terminal has three berths totalling 925m in length and a storage area of 22ha. The container terminal features modern gantry container cranes and straddle carriers. The tug, fishery and trawler jetties measure 120m, 165m and 136m respectively.

Mossel Bay Mossel Bay was the first port along the South African coast used regularly by European seafarers journeying to the East. It is situated half way between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and is the country’s smallest commercial port. Mossel Bay is a major fishing industry base equipped with sophisticated facilities for processing catches and for the maintenance of international fishing fleets. It is the only South African port with two off-shore mooring points within port limits, and the harbour has five quays. Mossel Bay is also home to Mossgass (Petro SA) and related oil industry projects started in the ‘80s. Although it has no dedicated facilities for passenger ships, quay 4 is allocated for berthing of such vessels.

Cape Town In the shadow of Table Mountain, 120 nautical miles north-west of Cape Agulhas, almost at the base of the African continent lies the port of Cape Town. The port caters for cargo moving between Europe and the western hemisphere, and the Middle East and Australia, particularly containers. Since its first use in 1652, the port of Cape Town has evolved from a watering and supply point on a major east-west trade route to a bustling, modern, general cargo port renowned for its deciduous fruit and fish exports. Cape Town acts as a hub for the fishing industry of the region, with modern facilities for processing catches and handling the maintenance of fishing fleets. It also has a massive tourist destination in the form of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront development – a shopping mall, hotel and restaurant complex – which fronts on to the harbour. The harbour has two dry docks, a repair quay, ship lift facilities and 34 berths of up to 318.5m length.

Saldanha All alone on the West Coast of South Africa, 60 nautical miles north-west of Cape Town, lies the port of Saldanha, first discovered in 1601. With a land and sea surface of just more than 19 300ha, a circumference of 91km and maximum water depth of 23.7m, Saldanha is the largest and deepest natural port in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also unique in having a dedicated rail link connecting to a jetty bulk loading facility specifically designed for the shipment of iron ore. Fishing operations at Saldanha make use of the Sea Harvest quay and government jetty, backed by facilities for freezing, storage and export. The port also features a small craft harbour and yacht harbour. As an environmentally sensitive area Saldanha Bay employs strict ballasting regulations and is equipped with a range of anti-pollution equipment to contain potential spills.

Key South African import areas The sophisticated and mature nature of the South African economy is reflected in the mix of economic sectors: primary (including agriculture, fishing and mining): 13%; secondary (manufacturing, construction and utilities): 20%; and tertiary (trade, transport and services): 67%. While South Africa produces many products of world-class quality for export, it is also a major importer of diverse products from most countries. In 2011, imports into South Africa were worth R722,6-billion, up from R585,3-billion the year before, reflecting the increase in demand for foreign-produced goods.


Germany has, since 2001, been South Africa’s largest source of imports, showing annual growth of 18,5% between 2007 and 2008. However, in 2009 Germany was overtaken by China, which became the largest source of imports. From pharmaceuticals to telecommunications, South Africa is an advanced consumer of the latest on offer from international sources.

Agricultural products South African agriculture and agribusiness have a number of competitive advantages, making the country both an important trading partner and a viable investment destination. South Africa supplements local agricultural production with imports, key among these being consumer-oriented products, forestry products, and intermediate products. One of the mainstays of the South African economy, the agricultural sector holds many opportunities with both large commercial and emerging farmers in areas such as capital investment, training, equipment and services supply.

Equipment and machinery This is South Africa's most important import area: out of total imports worth R723.4- billion in 2011, R176.8-billion – about 24% – were in this category. It is the primary import not only from China, but also from Europe, the Japan and India. The Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) will be introduced in 2013 and will be in place until 2020. The APDP framework and provisions covering import duties, local assembly allowances, production incentives and investment allowances are aimed at increasing competitiveness and growth. Vehicles, aircraft and transport equipment are also major import sectors.

Pharmaceuticals and chemicals More than US$1-billion worth of pharmaceuticals are sold in South Africa annually, and the market is expected to grow substantially. The country has a high incidence of TB, HIV/Aids and malaria. An estimated 1,06- million adults and 105 123 children were receiving antiretroviral treatment in 2010. Opportunities exist in the supply of wound-management devices, advanced technology and equipment, as well as specialist products. There is an increasingly reliance on petrochemical imports, especially of plastic converters. Imports of substances, such as ozone-depleting chemicals under the Montreal Convention and chemicals used in illegal drug manufacturing under the 1988 United Nations Convention, are subject to control.

Tourism South Africa is one of the world's fastest-growing holiday destinations. The industry was given an injection by the country's successful staging of the 2010 World Cup. Given its significant contribution to the economy – around 5% of total GDP – the development of a strong tourism industry is a high priority for the South African government, with many incentives and development schemes under way. A broad range of opportunities exist in this thriving sector.

We cannot end the South Africa article without mentioning Nelson Mandela:

Nelson Mandela / Nobel Peace prize winner.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of

the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961. After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland. During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela's reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom. Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organisation's National Chairperson.

When does a Bill of Lading become a Contract of Carriage..??

When does a Bill of Lading become a Contract of Carriage..??

A brilliant question.. Let us first look at some definitions..

Bill of Lading : is a transport document issued by a carrier to convey information about

the cargo and the condition in which it has been received and transported..

The bill of lading has 3 basic purposes or roles..

1. Evidence of Contract of Carriage

2. Receipt of Goods

3. Document of Title to the goods

Contract of Carriage : The popularly used conventions and rules covering the Carriage of

Goods by Sea define Contract of Carriage as below

:


http://shippingandfreightresource.com/what-is-a-bill-of-lading/

20

Page 1 of any carrier’s bill of lading will show which of the above conventions govern the

carriage..

Let us look at the subject question in the context of containerised cargo..

In normal trade the rates and other terms are negotiated

between the shipper/cargo owner and the carrier, and once they reach an agreement or

contract (maybe verbal or written), the shipment is “booked” with the carrier and this may


be considered as the commencement of the contract of carriage..

The carrier usually sends a booking confirmation as acceptance of the booking..

Clauses in the booking confirmation sent by the carrier will indicate the terms and

conditions that will govern the booking and contract of carriage..

I have quoted below, clauses shown on the booking confirmations of some of the lines and

you may notice that all of them say that the booking is “subject to the terms and

conditions of the line’s bill of lading“, which comes at a much later stage once the

shipment has been effected..

CMA-CGM

Shipment shall be subject to CMA CGM bill of lading terms and conditions available in

any CMA CGM agencies or on CMA CGM web site: www.cma-cgm.com

THIS BOOKING CONFIRMATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

OF OUR BILL OF LADING OBTAINABLE FROM THE CARRIER OR THE CARRIERS

WEBSITE AT:

www.hamburgsud-line.com/hsdg/de/hsdg/termsofuse.jsp.

THE CONDITIONS OF OUR BILLS OF LADING AND SEA WAYBILLS CONTAIN

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WHICH DEVIATE FROM STATUTORY GERMAN LAW.

Hapag Lloyd

Hapag-Lloyd AG is operating under the terms and conditions of its bill of lading or sea

waybill depending on which document will be issued for the shipment. Our terms

and conditions will be provided to you upon request or may be viewed at any office of

Hapag-lloyd AG or its agents or under www.hapag-lloyd.com.

Safmarine

This contract is subject to the terms, conditions and exceptions, including the law &

jurisdiction clause and limitation of liability & declared value clauses, of the current

Safmarine Line Bill of Lading (available from the Carrier, its agents and

atterms.safmarine.com/carriage), which are applicable with logical amendments (mutatis

mutandis).

Agent for shipping line

Remarks:

* Please note that all cargo shipped is subject to terms and conditions on the lines bill of

lading

The client has the option to go through the terms and conditions on the bill of lading and

advise the carrier if he finds any terms that may not be suitable for his business and/or

carriage..

From the above it is clear that although the bill of lading follows the contract of

carriage physically, the terms of the contract of carriage are governed by the bill of

lading..

The bill of lading also being a receipt for the goods, states the terms on which they were

delivered to and received by the ship, and maybe considered as an excellent evidence of

these terms, but it is not a contract..

Therefore, as far as containerised trade is concerned, since the contract has already come

http://terms.safmarine.com/carriage


into existence before the bill of lading is prepared and issued, a bill of lading cannot

become a contract of carriage but only be considered as evidence of the contract of

carriage..

Let us look at this question in the context of carriage under charter parties..

The bill of lading as an evidence of the contract of carriage applies to shipments where

shippers ship cargo in small quantities using either containerised service or break bulk

service where there are no full charters or charter parties involved..

Where charter parties are involved, especially where

the shipper charters the entire ship from the owner, the bill of lading issued along with a

charter party does not evidence the terms of the contract of carriage between shipowner

and cargo owner because in this case, the contract between them is governed solely by the

terms of the charter party..

In cases where the contract is governed by the charter party, the Bills issued to a charterer

acts merely as receipt for the cargo received and shipped and as a document of title in case

the charterer decides to sell the goods while they are still in transit..

The bill of lading will, however, typically identify the charter party which is applicable to

24

the carriage of the goods by reference to the date and place of the charter party..

If anyone has any concurring or opposing views as to when a bill of

lading becomes a contract of carriage, please do share..

COMMENTS FROM RAY PORTER PRESIDENT: I will start off by asking you some questions.

1. Did you promote the products in the December 2015 Product newsletter into your country? 2. Did you promote the Bangladesh products mentioned in the January 2016 GRW newsletter into your country? 3. Have you been promoting the products on our public web site www.grwglobal.com into your country? IF NOT. THEN WHY NOT. IT IS WHY WE HAVE YOU AS THE GRW AGENCY FOR YOUR COUNTRY. IF YES, THEN WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. We still have some GRW agencies spending all their time trying to sell product from their country and little or no time promoting GRW products into their country. This needs corrected now. As the GRW agency for your country it is important you promote products from www.grwglobal.com into your country.To do this requires you to have a look at the marketing ideas on the private agency site, the old President reports on the private site (you can scroll down them) and all of the GRW Monthly Newsletters. Then next step is to divide your country into zones and attempt to reach buyers in each zone. We are considering changing the country articles in the monthly newsletters to every other month instead of every month. The reason is that it requires a lot of time and the cooperation of the agency in the country of the article and some agencies do not always get the necessary data to us in time. We work on the articles a few months in advance. We are considering also stopping the monthly country news articles for a while too after we do a few more. If we do that then we will go to a short monthly newsletter. If you have read this newsletter and have gotten to my article then it is with hopes that you read all the data on South Africa and not just skimmed over it.. I know sometimes facts and figures are considered boring, but the founder of our firm (R.E. Bradley ) always stated that the more you know about something then the more you could make decisions. In this case, the more you know about South Africa, the more you can ascertain the opportunities to import out of or export into South Africa. I do hope you read all the data printed about South Africa. Very soon we are planning to put one of the monthly newsletter in the same format as we have been doing, but to also put a big portion of it on line. It will be a test and we are working on the idea now. We had a GRW agency that was a personal friend of one of our people at GRW for a long time. It was a big company.




The GRW agency simply could not understand the rules of the GRW contract must be followed (Log ins, monthly reports, etc , etc), and the agency was warned repeatedly about it.. Finally a final warning was issued, and I guess the agency did not take the warning seriously and he was terminated as a GRW agency. We are bound and determined to have all GRW agencies follow the most simple, but basic rules of the GRW contract. It is the way we keep an organization strong. Our new mother firm arranged our vacation schedules a little different and there are several that are off for the month of January and February (2016) increasing work load for others, but we do have some staff helping with the work load. I will see you next month.

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by

people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at

all."
