Sustainable Development Governance in South African Business Contexts: A Theoretical Framework

Sustainable development in Africa, particularly South Africa's business contexts, faces complex governance challenges that affect both economic growth and environmental sustainability.

The theoretical model underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into core business operations for long-term success. Businesses should prioritise stakeholder collaboration as a cornerstone for sustainable development governance in South Africa.
