The South Africa Foundation is an association of South Africa’s largest corporations and major multinational companies with a significant presence in South Africa. The Foundation is the independent, non-partisan voice of South African business leadership. It is financed entirely by private subscription from its corporate members to promote the interests of South Africa and its people.
The Foundation seeks to formulate and express co-ordinated views on macro-economic and other national issues and to promote the interests and further growth of South Africa’s private sector both domestically and internationally.
The membership of the South Africa Foundation represents the major sectors of the South African economy. They account for a large part of employment in the formal sector, make a significant contribution to tax revenue and engage in extensive corporate social responsibility programmes to the benefit of society as a whole with an emphasis on the disadvantaged.
The Foundation’s publications include: Occasional Papers, Perspectives (indexed quotes from speeches by individual SA Foundation Council members and extracts from members’ Annual Reports on matters of concern to the business community), Viewpoints. These are available on request; some documents are also available online.
