    Since the ending of apartheid, South African multinational corporations (MNCs) have become increasingly prominent in tropical Africa. However, the present profile and role reflects very much longer historical legacies.

The latter focuses specifically on the case of three of the most prominent South African multinationals, in the beverage, retail and mining sectors, SAB-Miller, Shoprite and Anglo American, respectively.
