WORLDVIEW:  Why foreign investors are sticking around in SA

By Alec Hogg

Unlike many who live inside the country's borders, I pay close attention when global investors talk about South Africa. As a capital-starved developing country, SA needs foreign investment to balance it books and must attract billions more to fund long-term projects that promote growth.

Without foreign capital, SA's open and growth dependent economy will soon implode. A harsh reality which the Apartheid government learnt in the late 1980s – and Zimbabwe is going through right now.
