South Africa

Sweden’s support of South Africa began in the 1960s in the form of humanitarian development aid that was delivered to the African National Congress (ANC) and other organizations pursuing the battle against apartheid. Following the abolition of apartheid and the ANC’s victory in the 1994 elections, humanitarian development aid was supplemented with more regular development cooperation activities.

Traditional development cooperation with South Africa is now becoming a broader cooperation built on co-financed partnerships within areas such as trade and investment, institutional and civil cooperation, in a model called participant cooperation.

MeetingPoints Mining and Raw Materials Group have done an extensive report on the mineral resources in South Africa.
