Although originally attracted be the discovery of diamonds and gold, British capital investment has expanded into all areas of the apartheid economy making Britain now the largest foreign investor in South Africa accounting for around 40% of all overseas capital in the country. This consists of either direct investment (in plant, factories, subsidiaries), or indirect investment (in portfolio shareholdings in other companies). In addition British financial institutions have over £7 billion worth of outstanding loans in South Africa, making them the largest lenders to apartheid in the world. The huge stake that British firms now have in South Africa means that not only are they profiting from the injustices of the apartheid system, but they are actively contributing to its survival. The South African economy is geared towards maintaining the economic and military superiority of the white minority regime over the people of South Africa and over the Southern African region as a whole; foreign companies operating in South Africa help to keep the economy's wheels turning. Foreign investment is, in itself, vitally important for the survival of the apartheid economy. South Africa simply does not have the resources to supply all its capital needs without foreign inputs. But foreign investment also brings with it the new technology, professional expertise and skills, and overseas connections which enable the white minority regime to maintain its control over the reins of the economy. Because of the particular role which foreign investment plays in supporting the apartheid system, and in response to calls from the liberation movements in Southern Africa, the Anti-Apartheid Movement campaigns for the complete withdrawal of all foreign firms from South Africa and Namibia as part of its wider efforts to secure the total isolation of apartheid and the implementation of comprehensive sanctions. The Company List The main section of this document (Table 1) lists UK parent companies and their South African-registered subsidiaries or associates, together with financial and employee information (where known). A subsidiary is a firm whose shares are more than 50% held by the parent company; an associate or related company is 10%-50% owned by another company. Even a minority stake often gives effective managerial control over an associate company. It should be noted that the number of subsidiaries which a parent company has or its financial results are not necessarily a guide to the importance of a company's activities for the apartheid economy. For example, although a firm may have a relatively small turnover in South Africa, it may still be engaged in activities vital for the apartheid state such as providing components for the South African military. The nature of corporate involvement in South Africa is not covered in this document. This list should be used therefore as a first source indicating whether companies have South African operations, and as the basis for further research. The AAM can provide further assistance in this area. The list has been compiled from information supplied by companies themselves, press reports, AAM files and a variety of other sources. As far as possible it has been updated to May 1988. The precarious economic situation in South Africa coupled with worldwide disinvestment pressure has resulted in substantial and on-going changes within the South African corporate sector over the past two years. As the AAM report, The South African Disconnection* has shown, over one fifth of UK companies with South African subsidiaries in 1986 have subsequently withdrawn. Many others have partially disinvested or reduced their holdings. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in the Company List, the AAM can bear no responsibility for errors. Table 2 lists UK companies with interests in Namibia. Namibia has been illegally occupied by South Africa since 1966. In 1974 Decree No 1 of the United Nations:Council For Namibia declared the extraction and marketing of Namibia's natural resources to be illegal as long as the South African occupation continued. Companies engaged in these and associated sectors are therefore breaking international law. Information in this section is largely derived from company questionaires and from a Labour Research Department survey. Table 3 lists UK companies which, despite being subsidiaries of overseas corporations, are the relevant company responsible for South African interests. The financial and employee information refers to the South African operations which the UK company manages. * The South African Disconnection - An Examination of British Company Withdrawals from South Africa 1986-88.

    NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL TIMES–ACTUARIES EQUITY SHARE INDICES IN 1989 BY J. C. H. BRUMWELL, M.A., F.I.A. ABSTRACT The process of updating company classificationscontinued. Seventy Index constituents were replaced during 1989,mostly as a result of takeovers, not quite a record. Only 46 replaced them, reflecting the difficulty in finding suitable new non-industrial constituents. The Mining Finance group was discontinued, but Engineering–Aerospaceand Water were introduced. Shipping & Transport was renamed Transport. KEYWORDS FT Actuaries Index; Ordinary Shares; London Market 1. Classification of Stock Exchange Securities by Industry The original classifications were set out in the 1970 note in this series (J.I.A. 97, 111–12). Subsequent amendments were set out in the notes for 1971–74, 1977, 1979–80 and 1983–88 (J.I.A. 97, 403; 99, 89; 100, 109; 101,199; 105, 85; 107, 81; 108, 85; 111, 203; 112, 87; 113, 173; 114, 143; 115, 333 and 116, 179). On 1 July 1989, a new category No. 21 (Aerospace) was introduced and 12 companies were reclassified in it from, with one exception, category No. 27 (Miscellaneous Mechanical Engineering). At the end of 1989, category No. 78 (Foreign Banks) was discontinued. All companies so classified joined category No. 77 (Banks), and the definition of the latter category was expanded additionally to include that of the former. The name of category No. 85, ‘Merchant Banks’, was simplified by dropping the words ‘and Issuing Houses’. Minor amendments were also made to the definitions of five categories during 1989. As a result of the quarterly meetings of the Classification Sub-Committee of the Joint Investment and Index Committee, the classifications of 56 companies were altered.
