Your Conference Organising Committee has done me a signal honour in asking me to deliver
the Simon Brand Memorial Lecture. Indeed, I feel doubly honoured since Simon Brand was a
personal friend of mine and someone whom I held in high esteem. He was a man of integrity,
and this, together with his intellectual rigour, led to his being highly respected by all shades
of political opinion. He played an important role in supporting socio-political change in
South Africa, and I have no doubt that, but for his untimely death, he would have assumed
an even more important role in the new South Africa post-1994. One of the fields in which he
had become increasingly interested was that of economic cooperation across the Southern
African region. As Simon Brand was an agricultural economist by training, I hope he would
have approved of the topic which I have chosen to consider in this lecture.
