Freely available online sources – South African
Industry bodies in South Africa
The South African economy and industrial sector have been classified by a number of
institutions. The most comprehensive effort of these is probably the Standard Industrial
Classification of all Economic Activities (SIC) published by Statistics South Africa. This
document can be accessed through the following link:
http://www.statssa.gov.za/additional_services/sic/sic.htm
For the purpose of this material, we followed a generic approach in which we tried to
cover as many industrial / economic sectors as possible. In compiling the listing, an
effort was made to stay away of individual companies’ websites. However, in this regard
there are a few exceptions, particularly in terms of media resources, the financial sector
and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) resources.
