1962 this very detailed socio-economic survey, South Africa in the sixties, was published by the South Africa Foundation. Contributers then were H. T. Andrews, F. A. Berrill, Sir Francis de Guingand, Dr. J. E. Holloway, Dr. F. Meyer and Dr. H. J. van Eck.

It is now a feature of the South African economy that large parts of its urban and mining sectors (comprising at least one-third of the total population) and, to a lesser extent, its European-owned farming sector (comprising about another third) are approaching a mature stage of development. Many enterprises in these sectors have adopted the latest methods, and new advances in organization and technique are being made all the time. But since progress is irregular, there are individual enterprises which are barely beginning to " take off " to the more advanced stages of growth already attained by others, while at the lower end of the scale is the remainder of the population in the Bantu Areas which are still custom-bound and primitive. Yet less than 100 years ago chance could contribute far more to South Africa's future than the best will to work in the then prevailing backward conditions. Firstly, the chance discovery of diamonds in 1865, and then the chance location of gold-bearing ores in 1886, provided, unplanned, the key impulses for the eventual emergence of the vibrant economy of today.
