Project manager of the South African National Seed Organisation Dr Wynand van der Walt says although South Africa has a solid history of engagement with traditional biotechnology, it has failed to extract value from more recent advances, particularly over the past 25 years with the emergence of genetics and genomic sciences.
South Africa was active in the development of the International Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Cartagena Bio-safety Protocol.
The draft national strategy says South Africa should "assess our biotechnology programmes within the framework of the Constitution, which ensures our rights to safety, to choice and to information establish suitable regulatory systems for export-import trade in biotechnology products and to increase the level of public awareness and acceptance of these products".

Because Apartheid was prominent for decades in South Africa, I somehow see a relation between what the people of South Africa experienced during almost 350 years of colonialism, segregation, and Apartheid and what African Americans experienced hundreds of years ago, and still do in some ways today in the United States.
In South Africa, however, “both the large and small estates of white rentier landlors were transformed into capitalist farms, while the rent-paying and share-cropping African peasants-economically independent-were almost universally turned into wage laborers and labor tenants”.
One of the reasons the slaves in South Africa did not revolt is because they were spread apart throughout the country leaving only about 4-6 slaves per farm, unlike slaves in plantations in the United States that usually held large numbers of slaves.
