Afternoon, answer this activity first before you answer those that I gave you in the class as a preparation for the informal test. We will mark them tomorrow morning. Date it the 22nd 07/2026 as a Classwork

Trade contributed **15%** to the GDP of South Africa in 2017.
$$
\boxed{\text{15%}}
$$

4. Which of the sectors, mining or trade, was the largest contributor to the GDP of South Africa in 2017?

Since $15\% > 8\%$, **Trade** was the largest contributor.
$$
\boxed{\text{Trade}}
$$

5. With regard to the graph, do you think that South Africa is a developing country? Give two reasons for your answer. Yes, South Africa is a developing country. * Reason 1: There is still a significant contribution from primary sectors like Mining ($8\%$) and secondary sectors like Manufacturing ($13\%$), which are typically larger in developing economies compared to fully developed ones. * Reason 2: While the tertiary (service) sector is the largest overall, the economy is not yet overwhelmingly dominated by highly advanced, knowledge-based services, and still maintains a substantial industrial and resource extraction base.
