💨 Abstract

Walmart's planned investment in South Africa is seen as a sign of foreign confidence in the country's economic future. The retail giant will open branded stores in October 2025, partnering with local suppliers and entrepreneurs. This move is expected to create jobs and align with the government's economic priorities. Walmart has owned a stake in Massmart, which includes South African brands like Game and Builders, since 2011.
