South Africa is a fantastic country isolated by its distance, its less developed and warring neighbors, and its former political and social policies.

South Africa has a highly educated and westernized workforce, but its economy is that of a developing country. This means you can benefit from a low cost base, while realizing the advantages of an English speaking, westernized society. In addition, South Africa has strong in-country business and marketing skills and distribution channels imperative for expansion into other African markets.
