Given NEPAD’s vested interest in regional and continental economic integration, and the encouragement of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the African continent, this report seeks to address the challenges and prospects in attracting FDI within Africa’s economic powerhouse, namely South Africa. Wolfgang H. Thomas provides a concise yet detailed assessment of current trade and investment activities in South Africa, with a view to highlighting the importance of mutually beneficial engagement of recipient and investing countries, between African and developed nations, as well as inter-African partnerships. Thomas also identifies the risks and impediments currently hindering South Africa’s FDI flows, in order to further realise the ‘new African FDI paradigm’.
