As South Africa continues to struggle to grow the economy at a sustainable rate, it is becoming ever more urgent for companies in South Africa to consider options in other African markets. Sub-Saharan Africa has grown at over 5% a year for the last decade, with 6 of the 10 fastest growing countries globally located in the region. Five years ago only three countries in Sub-Saharan Africa had economies valued at over US$100bn - by 2020 that number will have doubled. There have also been seismic shifts in political and economic developments in key regions such as Southern Africa and the Horn of Africa, that offer a range of new opportunities, whilst West Africa offers growing opportunities across a range of sectors.
