Trading floor to boardroom door: The strategic power of delisting

South African stock markets are experiencing lower levels of liquidity, particularly in small- and medium-cap companies, due to a trend by institutional and other significant investors towards investment in larger, more liquid companies, driven in part by a growth in exchange traded funds, whose index spread mitigates risk for investors. Ultimately small- to medium-cap listed companies are perhaps becoming less relevant in the investor universe and are finding it more difficult to attract and raise equity capital through the public markets.

Fragmentation of agricultural land: Subdivisions, consolidations and notarial ties

South Africa’s agricultural sector is one of the cornerstones of its economy that has been intricately woven into the legal fabric of the country. Despite its relatively small share of the total gross domestic product (GDP), agriculture remains a significant provider of employment in rural areas and is one of the major earners of foreign exchange in South Africa. South African agriculture is, however, limited by the relative scarcity of arable land and water resources, thus resulting in the evolution of the legislative framework governing agricultural land, which encompasses the country’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and environmentalconservation.
