The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is to invest $10 billion in South Africa’s economy. The areas of priority will be tourism and the mining sectors.

The South African presidency said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia has also made similar committed to the energy sector.

The commitment was made during a recent visit to the Middle East country by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
