1. Tell that to the Paramount group who just sold one to Nigeria

2. Their ATGMs are not as advanced as ours, so yes, BIG DEAL

3. Denel makes them, Denel sells them therefore we sold them to Brazil. Deal with it

4. HMD's were sold to France.

5. Thats why he said "possibly"

6. Yes, we sold the Umbani to South Korea

Weird that it is "not South African" yet its all designed and sold in South Africa and listed under South African exports on SIPRI

[size=13pt]"Its ok that our defence industry is sh1t because its 100% black sh1t"

So you say that our firms are owned by Europeans.

But you are also saying that BEE laws requires that these firms have MAJORITY South African ownership?

Which is it? One statement is false... which one? [/size]


[size=13pt] Since all you South Africans are too dull to interpret your own country's business law, we Nigerians did it for you yesterday.

South African over-hyped, so called 'advanced defense industry' is 90% European owned companies exporting technical manpower, hardware, software, spare parts, factory production machinery, engineers, technicians, etc massively into South Africa into companies that have been formed as South African based foreign branches, which South African BEE law compels to sell shares to black Southie block-headed dullards and change the company names to include South Africa's name.

The ANC Southie law forces this share sales as a condition for government patronage and contracts, otherwise SANDF will NOT buy anything from those European companies and their businesses will collapse and die.

That law allows the Europeans to control the technology and manufacturing, while South Africa's incompetent BEE managers and directors control administration with their shareholdings.

http://www.uhy.com/wp-content/uploads/Doing-Business-in-South-Africa.pdf

European owners in the head offices of the parent companies in Europe still have the power to pull out of South Africa if they wish, then the so called defence industry of South Africa will collpase and be reduced to mere MRAP manufacturing majorly.

In accounting and finance, it is what we call foreign subsidiary with majority or minority shareholding interest.

If the Europeans pull out, South African defence industry will collapse, they own you !

Now Exposed : South African defence industry is 90% European companies foreign branches ! [/size]

[size=15pt]It does not say that anywhere in the link you have posted

Yet again you are trying (pathetically) to make excuses for why YOUR country has a FAILURE of a defence industry

You are basically saying:
1. European companies open branches in South Africa at huge cost
2. Sell most of their shares to South Africans at a huge loss (even though the law doesnt say they must)
3. Import technicians and technology at great cost
4. So they can export products overseas?

Does this sound like a good buisness model to you? Why did they not stay in Europe?[/size]

Stop misleading people with your propaganda.

All SA based defence industries which have partly or dominating shares of European partnership have all started as South African companies. Later as times go on, large European defence cooperates started showing interests in those companies and ended up either buying 51% or 60% shares of such companies. Examples of such partnership will follow.

Thales bought controlling shares from Thales defence system from SOUTH AFRICA. A company which was established in 1967.

All this amount to garbage, there is nothing that foreigners produce from SA defence industry. All those European companies bought existing South African companies which were already actively in service manufacturing their products. BAE, SAAB and Thales all bought SA companies which were actively in business producing their weapons. They merely bought those companies because they were their competitors. That's all.

Nope, the European defense companies opened foreign branches in South Africa and produce European weapons on your soil, they call the products local South African names to colour and mask them as South African made so that your BEE obsessed ANC government can buy those weapons for SANDF and deceive yourselves and the outside world that the products are proudly South African....but they are 100% European technology.

Same thing happens with the claims, fake claims that South Africa produces Toyota, Nissan, BMW and therefore those cars are proudly South African.....Fools, liars, frauds, Japan owns Toyota and Nissan, Germany owns BMW....Same way Britain, France and Germany owns 90% of South Africa's high tech defense industry.
