LEGAL PROTECTION OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT A...

This study undertakes a critical assessment of the legal protection of foreign direct
investments (FDI) in South Africa and Zimbabwe by determining their compliance with the
international minimum standards  norms and or best practices on the legal protection of FDI by
host states. Firstly  the study argues that foreign investment is much needed in South Africa
and Zimbabwe to improve economic growth and development  to create jobs  and to increase their
competitiveness. However  these benefits are not accrued automatically but rather host states
need to create an enabling environment to receive such benefits. Thus  host states need to put
an investment scheme into operation to guarantee the legal protection of foreign investments.
South Africa and Zimbabwe have at large crafted and implemented investment laws and related
policies which tend to be hostile towards foreign investments. Therefore  similar investment
laws and related policies in both jurisdictions are analysed. This study will also offer
recommendations for a legal investment which is not only flexible  friendly  and favourable to
foreign investment in South Africa and Zimbabwe but also advances their local economic
policies.
