Abstract:The author looks closely at the involvement of Western or Western sponsored Multinational Corporations in South Africa, and their relationship to the policy of apartheid on the one hand, and to the issue of UN sanctions on the other. He argues with facts and figures that the Western commitment to investment in South Africa is too important for them to be able to observe any type of sanctions. To escape blame, Britain and the USA work under cover of their Multinational Corporations. The analysis presented in this paper throws light on the issue and shows the magnitude of the problem. Thus the author deals at length with the relationship between the amount of capital invested and the profits earned, against a background of a cheap African labour force. Notes.
