Abstract:This article explores select experiences within the province of KwaZulu-Natal regarding the implementation and impact of the South African defence offsets, with specific reference to aspects of the national industrial participation programme. There are four focal areas: an assessment of the national industrial participation programme within the province; an examination of the lack of offset investment in high-end purpose-built industrial projects and infrastructure; an investigation of relevant issues in the shipbuilding industry; and the perceived conflict of interest between the port developments in Durban (KwaZulu-Natal) and the Eastern Cape (Coega). These are contextualized within a discussion of actual and potential backward and forward industrial linkages within the national and local economy. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. [Journal abstract]
