The specialization is process that has started to become more dominant since the globalization took over the global market. It is basically a production of one of only few goods for which the country has the best conditions to produce them. The majority of those goods are exported, while the goods that are needed and not produced are imported. In this case, South Africa is the largest producer of electricity in the region, and it is one of the sectors in which it has been specializing. This enables the surrounding countries to be able to produce other goods and not worry about the production of electricity, as their neighbor is able to supply them with it, while they supply South Africa with the goods that they produce.
