Brand SA – Core Functions
6 core functions:
1. Information, insights & ideas
2.Marketing, advertising &
branding
3. Issues management
4.Promotions & events
5.Media relationships
6.Stakeholder relationships
Key strategic considerations
• SA is a middle power that projects its influence primarily through soft
power interventions, with a view to long-term transformation of the world
system.
• Domestic economic challenges are amplified by domestic issues of
unemployment (especially among youth), and slow GDP growth in the
medium term.
SA’s nation brand strategy needs to focus on:
• Supporting & facilitating the NDP
• Increasing familiarity with SA in international markets
• Positioning SA as an innovative and inspiring bridge between developing
nations
• Positioning SA as a facilitator of human development through new global
partnerships
• Indicators clearly show that the African continent, BRICS, and other key
emerging markets (e.g. “the Next 11”) will remain drivers of global
growth

Inbound Investment
Director-General of the Department of Trade & Industry – Mr Lionel
October
● Investment is the most reliable predictor of future economic
growth.
● The fastest growing developing countries have Gross Domestic
Fixed Investment (GDFI) to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratios of
above 30% while SA’s is around 20% against the NDP target of 30%.
● At the aggregate level, the challenge South Africa faces is that
private-sector investment is not growing fast enough to grow the
economy by 5%.
SA Investment Profile
Global FDI flow indicators on SA: Inbound
EY Africa Attractiveness Survey 2015
● SA is the top destination for FDI projects – the country attracted 121 projects
in 2014
– SA was the favourite destination for Chinese projects, securing 34.4% of total
Chinese investment on the African continent
● North Africa rebounds as inflows to Southern Africa falter: Egypt comes
second with 71 projects; Morocco comes third with 67 projects
● The above are actual greenfields investments, and does not account for flows
in the financial markets – which – if included will show that SA is the top
destination for FDI and financial market activity in Africa
● Context: Africa’s share of global FDI grew from 3.6% in 2003 to 7,7 in 2012,
and the continent more than doubled its share of global FDI flows from 7.8%
in 2013 to 17.1% in 2014

● 2013 budget speech of then minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, indicated that
during the 2008-2013 period the South African Reserve Bank approved nearly
1000 large investments by South African corporations into 36 African countries
● NDP underlines critical importance of boosting intra-African trade and
integration of regional markets
● Johannesburg Stock Exchange currently ranked the 19th largest stock exchange
in the world by market capitalisation and the largest exchange in Africa
● Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has investments in 60 projects across
20 countries that creates a cumulative African investment portfolio of R7.5
billion by March 2014
● With so many SA and multinational corporates that operate from Joburg into
other African markets, the city’s logistical, air, inland port, and related soft
infrastructure provides a solid base for corporates to establish regional
headquarters
SA Investment Profile
Global FDI flow indicators on SA: Outbound
EY – Africa Attractiveness Survey (2015)

● Department of Trade & Industry FDI trend data:
– Gross Domestic Fixed Investment has been growing steadily since the
Global Financial Crisis.
– FDI in 2013 was boosted by the R20bn Barclays investment.
– Latest FDI data show that SA attracted over R140bn in 2013-14.
– Global FDI fell by 16% in 2014.
– SA FDI inflows also slowed in 2014 but remain at a level almost double
the level of FDI in 2012.
● SA FDI performance is not unusual as:
– many multinationals already operate in SA,
– we have sophisticated financial markets to raise domestic capital, and
– our FDI stock is already high by international standards (42%).

South Africa continues to be a global renewable energy
hotspot, owing to the presence of effective regulatory
mechanisms to attract investment (REIPPP)
The high rate of capacity growth registered by the market
over the last two years and the strong investor interest
shown in the auction, particularly from international
renewables developers, attest to the REIPPP's success and
support our positive forecasts.

Wind Manufacturing Potential
Attracts significant levels of interest from intl renewables developers
Wind power expected to contribute lion's share towards total renewables
electricity generation mix over 10-year forecast period (63% by 2024)
Contribution to total electricity generation mix remains limited (3.3%), mainly
due to restricted capacity factor & dominance of coal in power mix

SA Reputation Rankings – Challenges & Weaknesses
• Safety & security/crime impacts negatively on perceptions of SA
• Weakest rankings on poverty reduction and respect for citizens’ rights
• On Immigration/Investment (39th), the Index ranking is pulled down by a 40th
place ranking on quality of life but is stronger in terms of Educational
Qualifications and Invest in Business (both 35th)
• Not perceived as technologically advanced
• SA citizens far more critical than other global citizens on “Governance”
• SA products mostly associated with agriculture, crafts & food – calls for need to
profile other SA products, manufactured goods & services (NBI)
• Findings from 2014 CBI on reputation of SA cities indicate a need for more
concerted effort to build awareness & reputation – perceptions of key city
offerings have direct impact on Nation Brand

• n=1 244 Interviews were conducted via face-to-face, door-to-door interviews in the homes of respondents, using a structured (Computer Aided Personal Interviewing) CAPI questionnaire.
How
• The sample included male and female adults aged 15+
• Nationally representative across age, race, gender, income, community size and region
• As a scientific sample was used, all entities in the universe had a known chance of being selected, resulting in a normal response curve - results therefore are weighted up to represent the population covered, in thousands, and standard statistical tests can be applied e.g. Margin of Error.

Summary Findings
106
• Being a South African is how the people in the country identify
themselves. Culture, race, religion, gender are distant seconds.
• Overall, citizens agree that the beautiful landscape, rich heritage
and religious freedom defines South Africa as a country.
• Quality and access to education are perceived to have had the
greatest improvement in the past 10 years and people expect it to
continue improving
• A disconnect people feel with the education system is that it
doesn’t prepare learners to get a job
• The top concerns on the minds of the citizens are things that affect
them on a daily basis –
• Safety & Security
• Local Governance
• Employment Opportunities
This in turn has a huge
impact of how to
perceive their country
Domestic Perceptions Research: Q2 Wave
Summary Findings
107
Domestic Perceptions Research: Q2 Wave
• Xenophobia and South African politics/ Government are seen as
‘issues’ that have the biggest negative contribution to our national
reputation. Sports & Education are seen to make a positive impact.
• Majority of respondents feel that SA’s social and cultural diversity is
a major advantage and despite the problems the country faces, they
have no desire to leave.
• Word of mouth from people close to respondents as well as news and
advertising are strong external driving forces of influence – having a
positive impact on their views.
• There is a much stronger feeling of inclusion among citizens of SA
than inclusion with Government and it’s policies.
Summary Findings
108
Domestic Perceptions Research: Q2 Wave
• Despite the concerns about pressing issues citizens are regularly facing
they remain adamant to retain their hard earned assets by continuing
to live and work in South Africa.
• Citizens are more inclined to recommend South Africa as a travel
destination or to live in, rather than a country to invest / work /
study in.
• Very few citizens are aware of Brand South Africa – only one in every
10, with over four fifths of the population unaware or unsure. The
strongest association with Brand South Africa is with products made in
South Africa – indicating that their knowledge is misplaced. Awareness via electronic media - especially TV, outweighs print or
outdoor; Brand SA platforms have a low spontaneous mention.
Only a quarter of the population do not watch television on a daily
basis. Of those who watch television frequently, almost two thirds
subscribe to “Pay TV” offerings.
