. Investment Opportunities:
We appreciate the presence of Germany companies in
SouthernAfrica e.g., BMW, VW, Daimler, Bayer, Siemens.
South Africa is the biggest trading partner of Germany in Africa
andSouthern African rely on SA for German products. Germany
industrymay invest directly in specific countries using the same
successful
supply chain networks used by South Africa into the rest
ofSouthern Africa.
Germany imports raw materials from South Africa but South
Africaalso sources similar resources from the rest of southern
Africa. Itwould be cheaper for the German industry to also consider
dealing
directly with the respective countries. (Coal-Zimbabwe,
