establishing themselves in
the well-watered eastern
coastal region of southern
Africa, these farmers
spread out across the
interior plateau, or
"highveld", where they
adopted a more extensive

The farmers did not,
however, extend their
settlement into the
western desert or the

south-west. These regions
remained the preserve of
the Khoisan until
Europeans put down roots

Currently, aided by
modern science in
uncovering the continent's
past, which forms part of
the African Renaissance,
South Africa is gaining a
greater understanding of
its rich precolonial past.

In 1652, the Dutch East
India Company (VOC) set
up a station in Table Bay
(Cape Town) to provision
passing ships. Trade with
the Khoekhoe(n) for

degenerated into raiding
and warfare. Beginning in
1657, European settlers
were allotted farms by the
colonial authorities in the
arable regions around
Cape Town, where wine

By the early 1700s, the
colonists had begun to

beyond the nearest

relatively independent and

(trekboers), who lived as
pastoralists and hunters,
were largely free from

The British
colonial era
In 1795, the British
occupied the Cape as a
strategic base against the
French, controlling the sea
route to the East.
After a brief reversion to
the Dutch in the course of
the Napoleonic wars, it
was retaken in 1806 and
kept by Britain in the post-
war settlement of territorial
claims. The closed and
regulated economic
system of the Dutch period
was swept away as the
Cape Colony was
integrated into the
dynamic international
trading empire of
industrialising Britain.
A crucial new element was
evangelicalism, brought to
the Cape by Protestant
missionaries. The
evangelicals believed in
the liberating effect of
"free" labour and in the
"civilising mission" of
British imperialism. They
were convinced that
indigenous peoples could
be fully assimilated into
European Christian culture
once the shackles of
oppression had been
removed.

same time, a powerful
anti-slavery movement in
Britain promoted a series
of ameliorative measures,
imposed on the colonies
in the 1820s, and the
proclamation of
emancipation, which came
into force in 1834. The
slaves were subject to a
four-year period of
"apprenticeship" with their
former owners, on the
grounds that they must be
prepared for freedom,
which came on 1
December 1838.
Although slavery had
become less profitable
because of a depression
in the wine industry, Cape
slave-owners rallied to
oppose emancipation. The
compensation money,
which the British treasury
paid out to sweeten the
pill, injected
unprecedented liquidity
into the stagnant local
economy. This brought a
spurt of company
formation, such as banks
and insurance companies,
as well as a surge of
investment in land and
wool sheep in the drier
regions of the colony, in
the late 1830s.

Do not let the hero in your soul

--Ayn Rand
For the ex-slaves, as for
the Khoisan servants, the
reality of freedom was
very different from the
promise. As a wage-
based economy
developed, they remained
dispossessed and
exploited, with little
opportunity to escape their
servile lot.
Government policy in the Union
of South Africa did not develop in
isolation, but against the
backdrop of black political
initiatives. Segregation and
apartheid assumed their shape,
in part, as a white response to
Africans' increasing participation
in the country's economic life
and their assertion of political
rights. Despite the government's
efforts to shore up traditionalism
and retribalise them, black

which included the
descendants of unions

substantial Muslim
minority who became
known as the "Cape

they mostly came from the

The coloured people were
discriminated against on
account of their working-

Oliver Tambo and Walter

The end of
apartheid
The introduction of
apartheid policies
coincided with the
adoption by the ANC in
1949 of its programme of
action, expressing the
renewed militancy of the
1940s. The programme
embodied the rejection of
white domination and a
call for action in the form
of protests, strikes and
demonstrations. There
followed a decade of
turbulent mass action in
resistance to the
imposition of still harsher
forms of segregation and
oppression.
The First
Decade of
Freedom
After a long negotiation
process, sustained despite
much opportunistic
violence from the right
wing and its surrogates,
and in some instances
sanctioned by elements of
the state, South Africa's
first democratic election
was held in April 1994
under an interim
Constitution.
The interim Constitution
South Africa continued:
“Cherish your vision and your
dream
as they are the children of
your soul,
the blueprints of your ultimate
achievements”
.----Napoleon Hill, American
author
The Defiance Campaign
of 1952 carried mass
mobilisation to new
heights under the banner
of non-violent resistance
to the pass laws. These
actions were influenced in
part by the philosophy of
Mohandas Gandhi.
A critical step in the
emergence of non-
racialism was the
formation of the Congress
Alliance, including the
ANC; South African Indian
Congress; the Coloured
People's Congress; a
small white congress
organisation (the
Congress of Democrats);
and the South African
Congress of Trade
Unions.
The alliance gave formal
expression to an emerging
unity across racial and
class lines that was
manifested in the
Defiance Campaign and
other mass protests,
including against the
Bantu education of this
period, which also saw
women's resistance take a
more organised character

SOME IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS FROM GRW AGENCY PAKISTAN:
IF GRW agencies wish to grab opportunities which are always available at the GRW platform, then
each agency has to put sincere efforts to convert simple inquiries into practical transactions/deals, and
each concluded deal means ‘Profit’ which is a ‘fuel’ for each agency and for GRW Main as well.
Therefore each agency must understand you can never be able to convert any inquiry into practical
transaction unless you posses full knowledge about the deal, and the complete knowledge can only be
obtained within no time from the GRW, but to get all information related to the particular
deal/transaction, you will have to click the required pages available on the GRW websites. OR if any
agency has a better idea for striking the deal, GRW shall be pleased to receive that dynamic
idea for onward submission to other GRW agencies for their benefit.

The Second Decade of
Freedom
When South Africa celebrated 10 years of freedom in
2004, there were celebrations across the world in
countries whose peoples had helped to bring freedom to
South Africa through their solidarity, and who today are
partners in reconstruction and development.
As government took stock of the First Decade of Freedom
in Towards a Ten Year Review, it was able to document
great progress by South Africans in pursuit of their goals,
as well as the challenges that face the nation as it
traverses the second decade of its freedom towards
2014.
In its third democratic elections, in April 2004, the country
gave an increased mandate to the Government’s
programme for reconstruction and development and for
the entrenchment of the rights inscribed in the
Constitution. It mandated government specifically to
create the conditions for halving unemployment and
poverty by 2014.
Following these elections, President Thabo Mbeki was
appointed to a second term of office as President of
South Africa – a position he relinquished in September
2008, following the decision of the National Executive
Committee of the ANC to recall him. Parliament elected
Kgalema Motlanthe as President of South Africa on 25
September 2008.
Local government elections in 2006, following a long
period of civic unrest as communities protested against a
mixed record of service delivery, saw increased
participation compared with the previous local elections,
as well as increased support for the ruling party based on
a manifesto for a concerted effort, in partnership with
communities, to make local government work better.
South Africa held national and provincial elections to elect
a new National Assembly as well as the provincial
legislature in each province on 22 April 2009. Some 23
million people were registered for the 2009 general
election, which were about 2,5 million more than in 2004.
About 77% of registered voters took part in the election.
The results for the top five parties were as follows: the
ANC achieved 65,9%; the DA 16,6%; the newlyformed
Congress of the People 7,4%; the IFP 4,5%; and the
Independent Democrats 0,9% of the votes cast.
Jacob Zuma was inaugurated as President of South
Africa on 9 May 2009. Shortly thereafter, President Zuma
announced several changes to current government
departments and the creation of new structures within
The Presidency. The latter essentially comprises the
Ministry for Performance Monitoring, Evaluation and
Administration and the National Planning Ministry, in
keeping with the new administration's approach to
intensify government delivery through an outcomes-
based approach, coupled with a government-wide
monitoring and evaluation system.
Government adopted 14 outcomes as its focus areas.
These include among other things:
 improving the quality of basic education and
health services
 strengthening the fight against crime
 creating decent employment through inclusive
growth
 boosting skills development.
It also included ensuring food security for all, building
sustainable human settlements and an improved quality
of household life, improving local government structures
and an efficient and development-oriented public service.

A significant milestone for South Africa in the Second
Decade of Freedom was the successful hosting of the
2010 FIFA World Cup™.
The tournament, which was the first World Cup on African
soil, demonstrated that South Africa has the infrastructure
and capability to warrant serious investment
consideration. It also showcased South Africa and its
people to the world.
The 2011 local government elections, held in May, were
characterised by lively and respectful campaigning with
all political parties free to engage with voters in all areas.
The Independent Electoral Commission high-lighted
decreased voter apathy and achieved an impressive
57,6% registered voter turn-out – an improvement from
the previous local government elections, which scored
below the 50% mark. The ANC won the highest number
of seats and councils – 198 councils and 5 633 seats,
constituting 62% of the vote. The DA came second with
18 councils,1 555 seats and 23,9% support. The ANC
and DA were followed by the IFP and Cope.
As part of government's commitment to secure a better
quality of life for all, the National Planning Commission
(NPC) in The Presidency finalised the draft National
Development Plan: Vision for 2030 in 2011. The plan was
a step in the process of charting a new path for South
Africa.
By 2030, government seeks to eliminate poverty and
reduce inequality. The plan was the product of not just the
NPC but also tens of thousands of ordinary South
Africans who shared their dreams, hopes and ideas for
the future.
In August 2012, the then Chairperson of the NPC,
Minister Trevor Manuel, handed the revised National
Development Plan 2030 over to President Zuma during a
Joint Sitting of both Houses in Parliament. The revised
document, entitled Our future – make it work, is a policy
blueprint for eliminating poverty and reducing inequality in
South Africa by 2030.
Implementation of the plan will be broken up into five-year
chunks, in line with the electoral cycle, with the 2014 to
2019 medium-term strategic framework forming the first
five-year building block of the plan.
The Presidency will lead the formulation of the 2014 to
2019 medium-term strategic framework, which includes
key targets from the NDP and other plans such as the
New Growth Path, National Infrastructure Plan and
Industry Policy Action Plan.
The Presidency and National Treasury will work with
government departments to clarify roles and
responsibilities, ensure that plans and budgets are
aligned, and develop clear performance indicators for
each programme.
Government will focus on areas where implementation of
existing policies need to improve and hold focused
dialogues to overcome obstacles to implementation. It will
also engage with other sectors to understand how they
are contributing to the NDP's implementation and to
identify any obstacles they face.
The 2019 to 2024 and 2024 to 2029 planning cycles will
be used to initiate the remaining activities and will be
informed by a performance review of the previous cycle.
The objective of a better life for the people of South
Africa, the continent of Africa and the world at large was
at the heart of the country's successful hosting of the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change's 17th
Conference of the Parties in Durban towards the end of
2011. Aware of the fact that Africa is the continent most
affected by the impact of climate change, South Africa
was committed to ensure that Durban delivered a fair and
balanced outcome that would help secure the future of
our planet. The resulting Durban Platform outcome was a
coup for South Africa and the African continent.
South Africa has continued to build on its international
profile. On 1 January 2011, South Africa began its second
term as a nonpermanent member of the UN Security
Council (UNSC) for the period 2011 and 2012. South
Africa served alongside the permanent five members,
China, France, the Russian Federation, the United
Kingdom and the United States of America, and elected
members Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Colombia,
Gabon, Germany, India, Lebanon, Nigeria and Portugal. It
was the UNSC President in January 2012, which saw the
adoption of Resolution 2033 that provides for closer
cooperation between the UN and the African Union (AU).
In the conduct of its international relations, South Africa is
committed to garner support for its domestic priorities,
promote the interests of the African continent, enhance
democracy and human rights, uphold justice and
international law in relations between nations, seek the
peaceful resolution of conflicts and promote economic
development through regional and international
cooperation in an interdependent world.
On 8 January 2012, Africa's oldest liberation movement,
the ANC, celebrated 100 years of existence. This was a
historic achievement, not only for the movement, but also
for South Africa, the continent and the world. Thousands

of ordinary South Africans, political and religious leaders
attended the centenary celebrations which were held in
Mangaung, Free State, the birthplace of the ANC.
On 25 May 2012 the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
Organisation announced that the SKA Project would be
shared between South Africa and Australia, with a
majority share coming to South Africa.
The full dish array and the dense aperture array will be
built in Africa. The core, i.e. the region with the highest
concentration of receiv- ers, will be constructed in the
Northern Cape, about 80 km from the town of Carnarvon
(the same site where the MeerKAT is being con-
structed). The sparse aperture array (low-fre- quency
array) will be built in Western Australia.
Over the next four years, teams of radio astronomy
scientists and engineers from around the world will work
together to scope and finalise the design of the SKA.
In July 2012, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, then Minister
of Home Affairs, was elected as the ﬁrst female head of
the AU Commission and the ﬁrst person from South
Africa to hold this position. In September 2012, she
received the UN South-South Award for Global
Leadership.
In November 2012, South Africa was elected by the
members of the UN General Assembly to the UN’s 47-
member Economic and Social Coun- cil (Ecosoc). It is
one of the principal organs of the UN, alongside the
Security Council and General Assembly. South Africa
completed its two-year non-renewable, non-permanent
membership of the Security Council on 31 December
2012, and immediately assumed the membership of
Ecosoc on 1 January 2013. South Africa last served in
Ecosoc from 2004 to 2006.
Released in September 2012, the World Economic
Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2012/13
confirmed that South Africa remained the most
competitive economy in sub-Saharan Africa.
On 30 October 2012, Statistics South Africa released the
Census 2011 results. The census, which analysed the
country’s demographics, population distribution and
access to services, average household size, income,
migration, and mortality, was the third national population
and housing count in post-apartheid South Africa. Results
showed that the country’s population grew to 51,8 million
people from 44,8 million in 2001, representing a 15,5%
increase over the last decade.
In December 2012, President Zuma was re-elected as the
president of the ANC during the ruling party’s congress in
Mangaung. Cyril Ramaphosa was elected as the party’s
deputy president.
In July 2013, Ms Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka was
appointed executive director of the UN Women Entity for
Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women, and
Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi was appointed director in the
UN Development Programme’s Bureau for Development
Policy.
While receiving intensive medical care at home for a lung
infection after spending three months in hospital, South
Africa’s first democratically elected President and anti-
apartheid icon, Nelson Mandela, died at the age of 95, on
5 December 2013.
Mr Mandela led South Africa’s transition from white-
minority rule in the 1990s, after serving 27 years in prison
for his political activities.
His body lay in state at the Union Buildings from 11 to 13
December. He was buried in his home town of Qunu in
the Eastern Cape on 15 December 2013.
South Africa celebrated 20 Years of Freedom in 2014,
which was a historic milestone for the country.
The Twenty Year Review, which was released in 2013,
and the National Planning Commission’s 2011 Diagnostic
Report, highlight that poverty, inequality and
unemployment continue to negatively affect the lives of
many people.
Despite progress in reducing rural poverty and increasing
access to basic services in rural areas over the past 20
years, rural areas are still characterised by great poverty
and inequality. As stated in the NDP, by 2030 South
Africa’s rural communities must have better opportunities
to participate fully in the economic, social and political life
of the country.
Government’s programme of radical economic
transformation is about placing the economy on a
qualitatively different path that ensures more rapid,
sustainable growth, higher investment, increased
employment, reduced inequality and deracialisation of the
economy. The NDP sets a growth target of at least 5% a
year, and emphasises measures to ensure that the
benefits of growth are equitably shared.
The 2014 South African general election to elect a new
National Assembly and new provincial legislatures in

10
each province was held on 7 May 2014. It was the fifth
election held in South Africa under conditions of universal
adult suffrage since the end of the apartheid era in 1994,
and the first held since the death of Nelson Mandela. It
was also the first time that South African expatriates were
allowed to vote in a South African national election.
The National Assembly election was won by the ANC
(62,1%). The official opposition, Democratic Alliance (DA)
won 22,2% of the votes, while the newly formed
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) obtained 6,4% of the
vote. Eight of the nine provincial legislatures were won by
the ANC. The EFF obtained over 10% of the votes in
Gauteng, Limpopo and North West, and beat the DA to
second place in Limpopo and North West. In the other six
provinces won by the ANC, the DA obtained second
place. In the Western Cape, the only province not won by
the ANC, the DA increased its majority from 51,5% to
59,4%.
The September 2014 Quarterly Employment Statistics
report, released on 11 December 2014, showed that
despite job losses recorded in some of the sectors of the
economy, there were quarter- on-quarter increases
reported by the mining (8 000), finance (6 000) and trade
(4 000) industries.
Year-on-year, an additional 83 000 formal jobs were
created between September 2013 and September 2014.
This reflects an annual increase of 1,0%. The largest
increase was recorded by community services industry
(73 000), followed by the trade and finance industries,
with 21 000 and 20 000 jobs respectively.
Gross earnings paid to employees increased by R18,9
billion from R409 billion in June 2014 to R428 billion in
September 2014. The mining industry recorded the
largest quarterly percentage increase of 20,9% in
earnings

Richard's Bay
The port of Richards Bay lies 160km north-east of Durban on the eastern seaboard of South Africa and was established in
1976 primarily to handle coal exports. It has grown since the 1970s, with the addition of a new berth on average every two
years. It currently registers 23 berths, ranging up to 350m in length, and has a 300m-wide entrance channel. Six cargo-
handling terminals for specialised cargo, rapid vessel turnaround, a deep-water infrastructure and excellent inland rail
links make Richards Bay one of the world’s leading bulk ports. It handles about 60% of South Africa’s annual seaborne
cargo.
Durban
Thanks to its strategic position along international shipping routes, Durban is one of the busiest ports in Africa, handling
more than 80-million tons of cargo per annum. It remains the leading port in the SADC region and an important sea trade
gateway between South-South trade, Far East trade, Europe and the USA, East and West Africa regional trade. About 60%
of all imports and exports into South Africa pass through the port of Durban, which plays a pivotal role in facilitating the

Page 13 of 25
country’s economic growth. Cruise traffic is diverted to N Shed, T-Jetty, a dedicated passenger terminal facility. The port
has 58 berths ranging from 148m to 350m, with depths of up to 12.2m.
East London
The only commercial river port on the South African coastline, East London lies at the mouth of the Buffalo River, 950km
east of Cape Town and 460km south of Durban on the eastern seaboard. Centrally located from a national and international
perspective, East London is strategically positioned to act as a gateway between Africa and the global market. The port also
has a limited fishing industry base under private ownership. There are 11 commercial berths ranging up to 250m in length.
Although there are no official berths for cruise liners, G berth is generally used due to its easy access and close location to
the city centre and beachfront. East London has a limited, privately-owned base used by the fishing industry.
Nqgura
The newest port in South Africa is Ngqura, a deep-water harbour on the east coast, 20km north-east of Port Elizabeth and
midway between Durban and Cape Town. It became operational in 2009 and forms part of the Coega Industrial
Development Zone. Ngqura is a world-class, transhipment hub offering an integrated, efficient and competitive port service
for containers en route to the global market and within the sub-Saharan Africa region. It is the only port in South Africa that
boasts environmental authorisation for its construction and operation. At 2 610m in length, Ngqura’s eastern breakwater is
the longest in South Africa, designed to withstand wave heights of up to nine metres.

Port Elizabeth
-
Situated in Algoa Bay, on the south-eastern coast, Port Elizabeth features direct transport links into the heart of the African
continent. As a congestion-free hub, Port Elizabeth is able to maintain high cargo handling rates and offer fast and efficient
ship turnaround. The port is equipped to handle dry bulk, bulk liquid, general cargo and container cargo. Passenger ships
generally use of one of the fruit terminal berths when calling at Port Elizabeth. There are 12 berths ranging up to 318.5m
length. The port’s container terminal has three berths totalling 925m in length and a storage area of 22ha. The container
terminal features modern gantry container cranes and straddle carriers. The tug, fishery and trawler jetties measure 120m,
165m and 136m respectively.
Mossel Bay
Mossel Bay was the first port along the South African coast used regularly by European seafarers journeying to the East. It
is situated half way between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and is the country’s smallest commercial port. Mossel Bay is a
major fishing industry base equipped with sophisticated facilities for processing catches and for the maintenance of
international fishing fleets. It is the only South African port with two off-shore mooring points within port limits, and the
harbour has five quays. Mossel Bay is also home to Mossgass (Petro SA) and related oil industry projects started in the
‘80s. Although it has no dedicated facilities for passenger ships, quay 4 is allocated for berthing of such vessels.
Cape Town
In the shadow of Table Mountain, 120 nautical miles north-west of Cape Agulhas, almost at the base of the African
continent lies the port of Cape Town. The port caters for cargo moving between Europe and the western hemisphere, and
the Middle East and Australia, particularly containers. Since its first use in 1652, the port of Cape Town has evolved from a
watering and supply point on a major east-west trade route to a bustling, modern, general cargo port renowned for its
deciduous fruit and fish exports. Cape Town acts as a hub for the fishing industry of the region, with modern facilities for
processing catches and handling the maintenance of fishing fleets. It also has a massive tourist destination in the form of
the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront development – a shopping mall, hotel and restaurant complex – which fronts on to the
harbour. The harbour has two dry docks, a repair quay, ship lift facilities and 34 berths of up to 318.5m length.
Saldanha
All alone on the West Coast of South Africa, 60 nautical miles north-west of Cape Town, lies the port of Saldanha, first
discovered in 1601. With a land and sea surface of just more than 19 300ha, a circumference of 91km and maximum water
depth of 23.7m, Saldanha is the largest and deepest natural port in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also unique in having a
dedicated rail link connecting to a jetty bulk loading facility specifically designed for the shipment of iron ore. Fishing
operations at Saldanha make use of the Sea Harvest quay and government jetty, backed by facilities for freezing, storage
and export. The port also features a small craft harbour and yacht harbour. As an environmentally sensitive area Saldanha
Bay employs strict ballasting regulations and is equipped with a range of anti-pollution equipment to contain potential spills.
Key South African import areas
The sophisticated and mature nature of the South African economy is reflected in the mix of economic sectors: primary
(including agriculture, fishing and mining): 13%; secondary (manufacturing, construction and utilities): 20%; and tertiary (trade,
transport and services): 67%.
While South Africa produces many products of world-class quality for export, it is also a major importer of diverse products from
most countries. In 2011, imports into South Africa were worth R722,6-billion, up from R585,3-billion the year before, reflecting
the increase in demand for foreign-produced goods.

Page 15 of 25
Germany has, since 2001, been South Africa’s largest source of imports, showing annual growth of 18,5% between 2007 and
2008. However, in 2009 Germany was overtaken by China, which became the largest source of imports.
From pharmaceuticals to telecommunications, South Africa is an advanced consumer of the latest on offer from international
sources.
Agricultural products
South African agriculture and agribusiness have a number of competitive advantages, making the country both an important
trading partner and a viable investment destination.
South Africa supplements local agricultural production with imports, key among these being consumer-oriented products,
forestry products, and intermediate products.
One of the mainstays of the South African economy, the agricultural sector holds many opportunities with both large
commercial and emerging farmers in areas such as capital investment, training, equipment and services supply.
Equipment and machinery
This is South Africa's most important import area: out of total imports worth R723.4- billion in 2011, R176.8-billion – about 24%
– were in this category. It is the primary import not only from China, but also from Europe, the Japan and India.
The Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) will be introduced in 2013 and will be in place until 2020. The
APDP framework and provisions covering import duties, local assembly allowances, production incentives and investment
allowances are aimed at increasing competitiveness and growth.
Vehicles, aircraft and transport equipment are also major import sectors.
Pharmaceuticals and chemicals
More than US$1-billion worth of pharmaceuticals are sold in South Africa annually, and the market is expected to grow
substantially.
The country has a high incidence of TB, HIV/Aids and malaria. An estimated 1,06- million adults and 105 123 children were
receiving antiretroviral treatment in 2010.
Opportunities exist in the supply of wound-management devices, advanced technology and equipment, as well as specialist
products.
There is an increasingly reliance on petrochemical imports, especially of plastic converters.
Imports of substances, such as ozone-depleting chemicals under the Montreal Convention and chemicals used in illegal drug
manufacturing under the 1988 United Nations Convention, are subject to control.

Tourism
South Africa is one of the world's fastest-growing holiday destinations. The industry was given an injection by the country's
successful staging of the 2010 World Cup.
Given its significant contribution to the economy – around 5% of total GDP – the development of a strong tourism industry is a
high priority for the South African government, with many incentives and development schemes under way. A broad range of
opportunities exist in this thriving sector.

We cannot end the South Africa article without mentioning Nelson Mandela:
Nelson Mandela / Nobel Peace prize winner.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of
the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand
where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling
National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961.
After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June
1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished
to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of
Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963,
when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with
them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international
publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to
1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the
mainland.
During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela's reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black
leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He
consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.
Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's
work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national
conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected
President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organisation's National
Chairperson.

When does a Bill of Lading become a
Contract of Carriage..??
When does a Bill of Lading become a Contract of Carriage..??
A brilliant question.. Let us first look at some definitions..
Bill of Lading : is a transport document issued by a carrier to convey information about
the cargo and the condition in which it has been received and transported..
The bill of lading has 3 basic purposes or roles..
1. Evidence of Contract of Carriage
2. Receipt of Goods
3. Document of Title to the goods
Contract of Carriage : The popularly used conventions and rules covering the Carriage of
Goods by Sea define Contract of Carriage as below
:

20
Page 1 of any carrier’s bill of lading will show which of the above conventions govern the
carriage..
Let us look at the subject question in the context of containerised cargo..
In normal trade the rates and other terms are negotiated
between the shipper/cargo owner and the carrier, and once they reach an agreement or
contract (maybe verbal or written), the shipment is “booked” with the carrier and this may

Page 21 of 25
be considered as the commencement of the contract of carriage..
The carrier usually sends a booking confirmation as acceptance of the booking..
Clauses in the booking confirmation sent by the carrier will indicate the terms and
conditions that will govern the booking and contract of carriage..
I have quoted below, clauses shown on the booking confirmations of some of the lines and
you may notice that all of them say that the booking is “subject to the terms and
conditions of the line’s bill of lading“, which comes at a much later stage once the
shipment has been effected..
CMA-CGM
Shipment shall be subject to CMA CGM bill of lading terms and conditions available in
any CMA CGM agencies or on CMA CGM web site: www.cma-cgm.com
Hamburg Sud
THIS BOOKING CONFIRMATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF OUR BILL OF LADING OBTAINABLE FROM THE CARRIER OR THE CARRIERS
WEBSITE AT:
www.hamburgsud-line.com/hsdg/de/hsdg/termsofuse.jsp.
THE CONDITIONS OF OUR BILLS OF LADING AND SEA WAYBILLS CONTAIN
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WHICH DEVIATE FROM STATUTORY GERMAN LAW.
Hapag Lloyd
Hapag-Lloyd AG is operating under the terms and conditions of its bill of lading or sea
waybill depending on which document will be issued for the shipment. Our terms
and conditions will be provided to you upon request or may be viewed at any office of
Hapag-lloyd AG or its agents or under www.hapag-lloyd.com.
Safmarine
This contract is subject to the terms, conditions and exceptions, including the law &
jurisdiction clause and limitation of liability & declared value clauses, of the current
Safmarine Line Bill of Lading (available from the Carrier, its agents and

22
atterms.safmarine.com/carriage), which are applicable with logical amendments (mutatis
mutandis).
Agent for shipping line
Remarks:
* Please note that all cargo shipped is subject to terms and conditions on the lines bill of
lading
The client has the option to go through the terms and conditions on the bill of lading and
advise the carrier if he finds any terms that may not be suitable for his business and/or
carriage..
From the above it is clear that although the bill of lading follows the contract of
carriage physically, the terms of the contract of carriage are governed by the bill of
lading..
The bill of lading also being a receipt for the goods, states the terms on which they were
delivered to and received by the ship, and maybe considered as an excellent evidence of
these terms, but it is not a contract..
Therefore, as far as containerised trade is concerned, since the contract has already come

Page 23 of 25
into existence before the bill of lading is prepared and issued, a bill of lading cannot
become a contract of carriage but only be considered as evidence of the contract of
carriage..
Let us look at this question in the context of carriage under charter parties..
The bill of lading as an evidence of the contract of carriage applies to shipments where
shippers ship cargo in small quantities using either containerised service or break bulk
service where there are no full charters or charter parties involved..
Where charter parties are involved, especially where
the shipper charters the entire ship from the owner, the bill of lading issued along with a
charter party does not evidence the terms of the contract of carriage between shipowner
and cargo owner because in this case, the contract between them is governed solely by the
terms of the charter party..
In cases where the contract is governed by the charter party, the Bills issued to a charterer
acts merely as receipt for the cargo received and shipped and as a document of title in case
the charterer decides to sell the goods while they are still in transit..
The bill of lading will, however, typically identify the charter party which is applicable to

24
the carriage of the goods by reference to the date and place of the charter party..
If anyone has any concurring or opposing views as to when a bill of
lading becomes a contract of carriage, please do share..
COMMENTS FROM RAY PORTER PRESIDENT:
I will start off by asking you some questions.
1. Did you promote the products in the December 2015 Product newsletter into your country?
2. Did you promote the Bangladesh products mentioned in the January 2016 GRW newsletter into your country?
3. Have you been promoting the products on our public web site www.grwglobal.com into your country?
IF NOT. THEN WHY NOT. IT IS WHY WE HAVE YOU AS THE GRW AGENCY FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
IF YES, THEN WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
We still have some GRW agencies spending all their time trying to sell product from their country and little or no time
promoting GRW products into their country. This needs corrected now. As the GRW agency for your country it is
important you promote products from www.grwglobal.com into your country.To do this requires you to have a look at the
marketing ideas on the private agency site, the old President reports on the private site (you can scroll down them) and
all of the GRW Monthly Newsletters. Then next step is to divide your country into zones and attempt to reach buyers in
each zone.
We are considering changing the country articles in the monthly newsletters to every other month instead of every
month. The reason is that it requires a lot of time and the cooperation of the agency in the country of the article and
some agencies do not always get the necessary data to us in time. We work on the articles a few months in advance.
We are considering also stopping the monthly country news articles for a while too after we do a few more. If we do that
then we will go to a short monthly newsletter.
If you have read this newsletter and have gotten to my article then it is with hopes that you read all the data on South
Africa and not just skimmed over it.. I know sometimes facts and figures are considered boring, but the founder of our
firm (R.E. Bradley ) always stated that the more you know about something then the more you could make decisions. In
this case, the more you know about South Africa, the more you can ascertain the opportunities to import out of or
export into South Africa. I do hope you read all the data printed about South Africa.
Very soon we are planning to put one of the monthly newsletter in the same format as we have been doing, but to also
put a big portion of it on line. It will be a test and we are working on the idea now.
We had a GRW agency that was a personal friend of one of our people at GRW for a long time. It was a big company.

Page 25 of 25
The GRW agency simply could not understand the rules of the GRW contract must be followed (Log ins, monthly
reports, etc , etc), and the agency was warned repeatedly about it.. Finally a final warning was issued, and I guess the
agency did not take the warning seriously and he was terminated as a GRW agency. We are bound and determined to
have all GRW agencies follow the most simple, but basic rules of the GRW contract. It is the way we keep an
organization strong.
Our new mother firm arranged our vacation schedules a little different and there are several that are off for the month of
January and February (2016) increasing work load for others, but we do have some staff helping with the work load.
I will see you next month.
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at
all."
