Résumé
Cet article traite de la transformation du continent africain, au-delà de l’approvisionnement en matières premières, vers l’expansion des capacités de production de manière à répondre aux besoins des populations africaines. Le document évalue la chaîne de valeur du platine en Afrique du Sud et examine comment le secteur impacte la transformation économique du pays. Cela est dû à de très faibles liens en amont ou en aval entre le secteur du platine et les secteurs manufacturiers connexes. De plus, même si le secteur du platine capte une part notable à la fois de la production et de l’emploi dans l’industrie minière, en ce qui concerne la redistribution de la richesse, le genre et les relations raciales, il est à la traîne. On peut soutenir que les ressources minérales d’un pays, tirant parti de législations sectorielles spécifiques, devraient entraîner la transformation économique nécessaire pour répondre aux besoins de sa population. Cela exige une détermination délibérée de garantir qu’une telle forme de mobilisation se transforme en autosuffisance économique pour le continent africain en tirant également parti des chaînes de valeur régionales et de l'Accord de libre-échange continental africain (ZLECAf ).
