  • Work Ethic, Education and Afrikaner Empowerment: Sanlam and the Mobilization of Afrikaner Savings, Entrepreneurship and Work Ethic, 1918-1950
    Work ethic, education and Afrikaner empowerment: Sanlam and the mobilization of Afrikaner savings, entrepreneurship and work ethic, 1918-1950. Grietjie Verhoef University of Johannesburg1 Abstract The Weberian thesis of a causal relationship between economic advancement and the Protestant work ethic, has been widely advocated ( ) Recently more critical studies have raised questions about the alleged relationship between the protestant work ethic and economic growth. A broader context of papers studied the association between religion and economic outcomes. Quite generally, religion is an important expression of culture (Guiso, Sapienza, and Zingales 2006), and as such is viewed as a possible fundamental cause of economic growth. Thus, Barro and McCleary (2003; 2005) study the association between different religions and economic growth. More recently Acemoglu, Johnson & Robinson (2001; 2005) have rejectedany direct link between economic growth and religion per se. More recently closer attention was paid to the link between literacy and economic growth, since it was argued what Luther had propagated was improved literacy in order to enable people the ability to read the Bible, which had the overall effect of improved literacy and that contributed to increased human capital formation, which brought higher growth. For an explanation to the rise of Afrikaner capital and entrepreneurial advancement since the first decade of the twentieth century, this paper will explore Weberian thought in the speeches, publications and public statements by leaders associated with the establishment of early Afrikaner business in South Africa. In this respect the insurance company SANLAM played a decisive role, but was not the exclusive promoter of Afrikaner entry into the mainstream of the economy.

  • Abstract This Paper Explores the Under-Appreciated Role of Business
    Business and the South African Transition Itumeleng Makgetla and Ian Shapiro Draft: February 20, 2016 Abstract This paper explores the under-appreciated role of business in negotiated transitions to democracy. Drawing on our interviews of key South African business leaders and political elites, we show how business played a vital role in enabling politicians to break out of the prisoners’ dilemma in which they had been trapped since the 1960s and move the country toward the democratic transition that took place in 1994. Business leaders were uniquely positioned to play this role, but it was not easy because they were internally divided and deeply implicated in Apartheid’s injustices. We explain how they overcame these challenges, how they facilitated negotiations, and how they helped keep them back on track when the going got rough. We also look at business in other transitional settings, drawing on South Africa’s experience to illuminate why business efforts to play a comparable role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have failed. We end by drawing out the implications of our findings for debates about democratic transitions and the role of business interests in them. Department of Political Science, P.O.

Email: [email protected] or [email protected] On March 21, 1960, police opened fire on a demonstration against South Africa’s pass laws in Sharpeville, fifty miles south of Johannesburg, killing 69 people. The callousness of the massacre – many victims were shot in the back while fleeing – triggered a major escalation in the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party (NP) government.

  • 1 Working Paper 11/2017 GROWTH and STRATEGIES of LARGE, LEAD FIRMS
    Working Paper 11/2017 GROWTH AND STRATEGIES OF LARGE, LEAD FIRMS - REMGRO LIMITED COMPANY ASSESSMENT Pamela Mondliwa, Nicholas Nhundu, Anthea Paelo, Mmamoletji Thosago and Thando Vilakazi Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development, University of Johannesburg [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The orientation and investment strategies of large firms are at the heart of how countries develop and industrialize. In South Africa, big businesses are now highly internationalised and the investments of lead firms can shape patterns of industrial development and subsequently its ability to embark on an inclusive, labour-absorptive growth trajectory. For industrial policy to be effective there is a critical need to understand the investment trends, strategies and decision-making of large firms, as the policy levers designed to influence the firms’ decisions are unlikely to be effective in the absence of such an understanding. This study focuses on analysing the behaviour and strategies of Remgro Limited over the period 2010 – 2015 as a case study for developing a system for tracking the behaviour of large, lead and dynamic firms across the economy, and abroad. The company is chosen as a large conglomerate group (controlled by the Rupert family) with substantial long-term investments held across several sectors in the South African economy, and abroad. The study uses publically available information from annual reports and announcements to assess whether investments made are largely local or abroad, in which sectors investments are focused and possible reasons why, the interaction of the company with government policies including BBBEE, and how influence exerted over investee companies, including through strategic board members and profit retention, can affect investment outcomes.
