I often talk of self-sufficient ethnostates & when conceptualizing #RepartitionSouthAfrica, I believe that it best to keep the South African economic structure as is but with federated governments & in time these federal regions would become independent self-sufficient ethnostates that structure their own economies.
When we talk about industry in Africa, some places are better than others at certain things. We could incentivise these industries to spread across the continent & maybe combine to share skills & resources. I imagine if we back these African enterprises by encouraging them to expand continentally, they could eventually compete globally. Enterprises like M-Pesa, Ushahidi, Kiira, Kantanka, Dangote Cement, Ebulenjini etc. could unite with companies in the same field to be competitive continentally. This could help the African economy immensely because we wouldn't import as much & all the wealth we make from our own enterprises stays on the continent. We'd have to deliberately support our own enterprises to ensure that they can compete with global trade empires. Even with agricultural produce, we could source from our own before looking outside the borders of the African continent.
