Abstract: Abstract In 1988, Nelson Mandela conducted a series of negotiations with the white government of South Africa from the Victor Verster Prison Farm in South Africa’s wine-producing region near Paarl1 that a few years later led to his own release, the fall of apartheid, and the inauguration of a fully-fledged, black-dominated democracy. However, Mandela also negotiated a deal whereby the new African National Congress (ANC) government renounced its intentions to nationalize industry and embraced capitalism and globalization. White-dominated business was urged to encourage black participation, but this has proved a slow and arduous process that was particularly strongly resisted in the rural sector. This was the case of South Africa’s wine industry.
