With the end of the old South Africa it was also the death of "Afrikaner
Nationalistic capitalism", which was especially charecterised by the end
of the once mighty Sanlam and its peer in the North, Volkskas, which was
first part of Rembrandt and later part of Barclays in Great Britain. These
two organisations have been keeping the Afrikaner's business matters
alive for decades.
• While Afrikaner capitalism has been desperately trying to come up for
air the last decade, a new foundation has quietly been laid for a new
generation of Afrikaner capitalists. New billionares were created through
the prices of shares skyrocketing and in the process it looks like some
of these asset-spirals were built on very thin ground and maybe even
fraud.
• This book discusses the current economic climate in South Africa in an
interesting and accessible way.
