Abstract

In 1961 when exchange control was introduced upon non-residents moving capital out of South Africa, South Africa’s trade was still heavily Eurocentric, with Great Britain occupying the dominant position. Imports from Britain were almost three times those from Germany and almost two-thirds larger than those from the United States. Exports were even more closely tied to Britain, so that at the time that South Africa broke the political links with Britain, the economic links remained fairly strong; and economic determinists will find little support for their views in the course of political developments in South Africa.
