Johannesburg - The parallels in South Africa's and Kenya’s development paths support the harnessing of complementarities in economic and business pursuits, said the chief director of export promotion and marketing at the department of trade and industry (dti) Zanele Sanni.
She was speaking during the first leg of the Outward Selling and Investment Mission in Nairobi, Kenya.
"Both South Africa and Kenya are renowned for the soundness and advances made in their financial services sector, particularly in the banking sectors. Pairing the strengths of Kenya in mobile money transfer (M-Pesa) with South Africa’s large pool of the unbanked can help catapult the latter’s fledgling industry in this subsector," said Sanni.
