Manufacturing industry is large absolutely as well as by comparison with other sectors and other countries. Sixty years of import‐replacement policies has produced a diversified structure, but in recent years disappointments have outweighed achievements in dimensions like job creation, capital intensity and the increasing resource cost of futher import substitution. That these difficulties are paralleled in Latin America is no solace, and it may be advisable to look instead at the ‘newly industrializing countries’ like South Korea for future policy guidance. Yet even a cursory examination raises serious doubts about the short‐run likelihood of South Africa successfully emulating these industrial exporters
