South Africa
The majority of retail pharmacies are independently-owned pharmacies.
Recent legislative reform has opened pharmacy ownership in South Africa to individuals and companies other than pharmacists, for example supermarket chains. However, in order to retain professionalism, pharmacists must still own a significant percentage of the pharmacy and operate these pharmacies in person.
South Africa also has active Pharmaceutical Society of Southern Africa and South African Association of Hospital and Institutional Pharmacists membership organisations.

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or africa:
“Returned this day, the south wind searches,
And finds young pines and budding birches;
But finds not the budding man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
