08 AFRICAN Odyssey 2016/17

In the past decade, much was made of “Africa Rising” – its increasingly urban (and urbane) middle class, the onset of democracy as witnessed in free and fair elections in many countries, high GDPs (some countries’ growth rates outstripping even those of their Asian counterparts) and the increasing affordability of technology – especially feature phones – which have led to technological leaps and locally developed solutions to a myriad of challenges.

More recent narratives, however, have proved far more tempered. Global demand for resources has fallen, especially from a dampening China economy and the 2008 recession, demonstrating the extreme fragility of African economies dependent on unprocessed, non-value-added natural resources. As commodity prices plummeted, the projected growth rates have been slashed – to the lowest levels of the past 15 years, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A recent World Bank report paints a bleak picture for the next few years for Africa, particularly for the larger economies.

Resource exporters are also being affected by price drops.

10 STEPS TO EXPORT

SUCCESS

Before export sales are even considered, companies must be sure of what they want to achieve. Exporting should not be treated as a quick way to boost sales figures. A successful exporter is both patient and proactive; they are prepared to foster relationships with foreign buyers and consumers over the long term and are always actively seeking opportunities and new partnerships. 1. GETTING STARTED If it is your intention to develop an export market for your product, then you need to develop an export plan covering the following: (a) Steps you need to take. (b) Sales targets.

The Jewellery Council of SA (JCSA) was created as a jewellery industry representative body in 1973 and has developed from a voluntary organisation to a non-profit company. The council has duly constituted a Memorandum of Incorporation. The JCSA has four main divisions representing

and retail jewellers, as well as services to the industry. In addition, the council represents mining houses. From the 1 600 members, it represents 85% of SA’s manufacturing capacity, as well as 75% of the country’s retail turnover in jewellery. “It is our vision to become a world-class industry body promoting industry growth and unity, thereby enabling SA to become Africa’s jewellery trading hub,” says Lorna Lloyd, CEO of the JCSA.

20 AFRICAN Odyssey 2016/17

Africa is a continent blessed with an abundance of natural resources. Most of the quality diamonds in the world have been mined in subSaharan Africa. For many African countries, mineral exploration and production constitute substantial parts of their economies and remain key to economic growth. The African diamond rush began in SA in the 1870s. The country was the leading producer of gem-quality diamonds until the former Zaire (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)) started major diamond production. SA has been supplying diamonds consistently for many years, with volumes ranging from 4 million-6 million carats per year. SA’s primary economic wealth was traditionally in mineral resources and the agricultural sector, but since the 1990s, economic growth has been driven by retail, commerce and financial sectors. Mining and minerals is still a key economic sector that contributes to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country, however, contributing 4,9% in 2013. That said, SA’s mining industry is not fully utilised and still has major untapped mineral deposits, matched only by countries in the former USSR.

Botswana is home to the world’s biggest concentration of African elephants, of which the highest number is to be found in the Chobe National Park.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW

NAMIBIA, NIGERIA, BOTSWANA AND KENYA

AFRICAN Odyssey explores four African countries in each issue by means of an in-depth look at their respective resources, people and attractions.

PROFILE: NAMIBIA The Republic of Namibia is located in Southern Africa bordering Angola, Botswana, South Africa and Zambia. It has a population of 2,1 million people, with English being its official language. Afrikaans and German are also widely spoken. Its landscape consists generally of five geographical areas: the Central Plateau, the Namib Desert, the Great Escarpment, the Bushveld and the Kalahari Desert. South Africa occupied the German colony of South-West Africa during World War I and administered it as a mandate until after World War II. In 1966

the Marxist South-West African People’s Organisation guerrilla group launched a war of independence for the area that became Namibia and in 1988 it became independent. Mining is the single most important contributor to the economy and accounts for 8% of GDP, but provides more than 50% of foreign exchange earnings. Its rich alluvial diamond deposits make it a primary source for diamonds. Namibia is also the fourth-largest exporter of non-fuel minerals in Africa and the world’s fourth-largest producer of uranium. There has been significant investment in uranium mining. Although its economy experienced a recent decline due to poor fish catches, a dramatic decline in demand for diamonds, higher costs of producing metals and the global recession, a rebound in diamond and uranium prices in 2010 provided a significant boost

to its mining sector and copper mines. Besides diamonds, copper, uranium and fish, other natural resources include gold, silver, lead, tin, lithium, cadmium, tungsten, zinc, salt and hydropower. Namibia is the first country in the world to incorporate the protection of the environment into its constitution, with some 14% of the land being protected, including virtually the entire Namib Desert coastal strip. It has 26 parks and reserves, making its abundant wildlife one of its greatest tourist assets. The most famous of these parks is the Etosha National Park, which harbours 114 mammal species, with the Waterberg Plateau National Park and Cape Cross Reserve also ranking among the top tourist attractions. Namibia is a member state of the United Nations, the Southern African Development Community, the African Union and the Commonwealth of Nations.

PROFILE: NIGERIA The Federal Republic of Nigeria is located in Western Africa and shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east and Niger in the north. Nigeria became independent of British influence in 1960 and after 16 years of military rule, a new constitution was adopted in 1999, resulting in a peaceful transition to a civilian government. Unfortunately, the country continues to experience long-standing ethnic and religious tensions. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh-most populous country in the world. It is composed of more than 250 ethnic groups, the three largest and most influential being the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Although there are more than 500 indigenous languages, the official language remains English. The country, comprising 36 states, is oil-rich (it is the 12th-largest producer

of petroleum in the world) and has been hobbled by political instability, corruption, inadequate infrastructure and poor macro-economic management, but in 2008 it began pursuing economic reforms. Other natural resources include tin, iron ore, coal, limestone, niobium, lead, zinc, arable land and natural gas. Agricultural products include cocoa, peanuts, cotton, palm oil, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, cassava (tapioca), yams and rubber. Nigeria has a total area of 923 768 km2, making it the world’s 32nd-largest country. It is classified as a mixed-economy emerging market and has already reached middle-income status, according to the World Bank, with its abundant supply of natural resources, well-developed financial, legal, communications and transport sectors and the Nigerian Stock Exchange, which is the secondlargest one in Africa. Nigeria offers a wide variety of tour-

ist attractions, such as extended river and ocean beaches, unique wildlife, vast tracts of unspoilt nature and climatic conditions in some parts particularly favourable for holidaying. Other attractions include traditional ways of life preserved in local customs, handicrafts and other colourful products depicting native arts and lifestyle. In January 2010, Nigeria assumed a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2010/11 term.

EXPORT TAXES IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN CONTEXT SA has a well-established jewellery manufacturing industry within which a wide variety of precious metal jewellery items is produced. In recent years, great effort has been put into the development of both jewellery training and manufacturing by young African designers, with considerable input from major players such as De Beers and AngloGold, supported by the South African Jewellery Council.

years, exports have accounted for an increasing share of local jewellery offtake. This has been achieved through a series of joint ventures, often involving well-established European companies. The majority of these exports have been destined for the USA. This trend is partly related to the fact that South African jewellery exports to that country attract Generalised System of Preference status and no duty is currently paid on jewellery shipments to the USA.
