| Abstract: | This article examines and explains the nature and character of South Africa's relations with the IMF, especially in the period since the mid 1970s. This analysis is fundamentally motivated by the belief that a postapartheid State will ignore or underestimate the role, capacity and power of international agencies such as the IMF, to influence (distort) its chosen path of development, at its peril. Furthermore, an appreciation of the role and ideological predilection of the IMF in the world economy, and of South Africa's relationship to it, provides a crucial input into the ongoing debate on economic and political transformation towards a postapartheid South Africa.
