LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
--------
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Africa
Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") had a total return, based on net asset value
per share, of -8.41%. For the period from the Fund's commencement of operations
on February 14, 1994 through March 31, 2000, the Fund's total return, based on
net asset value per share, was 55.39%. On March 31, 2000, the closing price of
the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $9 1/16, representing a
31.8% discount to the Fund's net asset value per share.
SOUTH AFRICA
The South African market declined by 12.3% in the first quarter, as measured by
the Johannesburg All-Share Index. The star performers were the
telecommunications, media and technology stocks, following the worldwide trend,
despite the volatility in the NASDAQ market. The broader market did poorly in
the face of consistent improvement in the fundamentals of the economy.
GDP growth is poised to pick up speed as the year progresses, benefiting from
the large 8% cut in interest rates in 1999. Our forecast for growth in 2000 is
4%, the highest number in four years. In addition, commodity prices, which still
comprise the lion's share of exports, have strongly rebounded, helping the
external accounts. Despite this support, the rand suffered a bout of weakness,
stumbling to 6.52 to the dollar from 6.15 at year-end 1999.
The budget for the next fiscal was announced in February, bringing some welcomed
pro-growth measures, including tax cuts for individuals and some fiscal spending
programs. Inflation targeting was finally introduced, with a target range of 3%
to 6% by 2002. Actual inflation has been sticking around the 8% level, propped
up by high oil prices, and has prompted the Reserve Bank policy to become more
cautious towards future rate cuts. Interest rates have remained static after a
1% cut in the prime rate in January. In a much anticipated move, exchange
controls were relaxed a bit further, prompting selling in the market as unit
trusts externalized a larger proportion of their assets. S&P upgraded the
country's rating to investment grade, but bonds were essentially unchanged for
the quarter, as investors anticipated the move and the improving macro picture.
While the performance of the market has been frustrating, we are constructive on
the country and market over the long term, as government continues to build on
its successes and institutionalizes the forward-looking reforms that have taken
place. In order to launch the country into a sustainable high growth path,
however, South Africa will need more aggressive privatization, a more flexible
labor market and, with time, an improvement in the skills level of its labor
force. The market opportunities will become more interesting as inflation and
interest rates fall to single digit figures over the next two to three years and
these structural changes begin to have an effect.
EGYPT
The EFG Index slipped by 7.8% in the first quarter of this year, as investors
remained worried about the effects of higher interest rates and the fate of the
currency peg. The Fund's investments outperformed due to its concentration in
the telecommunications sector.
The consolidation of the cement sector, which saw several competitive bids for
listed companies, was the headline event of the first quarter. The sale of these
companies endorsed the desire of multinationals to invest in the country, yet
also demonstrated the tendency of government to interfere too heavily in the
process.
Interbank rates (the only market-determined benchmark in the country) fluctuated
between 12% and 18%, emphasizing the inadequate liquidity in local currency.
Economic growth is likely to slow as a result, going to about 3.5%, a far cry
from the official estimate of 6%. The management of the exchange rate continues
to be inconsistent, though actual transactions have been taking place primarily
around the official level of 3.43 Egyptian pounds per U.S. dollar. Foreign
exchange reserves, which declined by over U.S. $4 billion last year amidst low
oil prices and a weak tourism season, are still more than adequate at over $15
billion. It appears that government is intentionally slowing the economy to ease
pressure on the pound though, in the absence of specific policy statements,
their true intentions are unclear. The peg mechanism is inconsistent with the
country's need for strong growth and will have to be adjusted in the short to
medium term.
We have taken some funds away from Egypt during this first quarter, as we wait
for these economic policy issues to be resolved. The stocks in the market,
however, still offer great value and the growth stories we have emphasized
should not be significantly impacted by the temporary slowdown.
MAURITIUS
The SEMDEX Index in Mauritius recorded a loss of 6.3% for the first quarter, as
technical selling offset brighter prospects for the economy. The inflation rate,
which had scared the Central Bank into a very tight stance during 1999, has
peaked, and is now recording manageable levels. This should result in rate cuts
throughout the year (we expect 200 basis points) and the migration of retail
funds away from T-bills (now yielding close to 12%) and into equities. The sugar
crop, which suffered severely from drought last year, is recovering nicely, and
the economic growth rate should pick up to the 5% to 6% level again in
2
<PAGE>
2000 and be even higher in 2001. Mauritius remains one of our favorite markets,
where we find a combination of inexpensive stocks with attractive growth
profiles in a stable, well-managed economy.
ZIMBABWE
The Zimbabwe Industrial Index gained 1.6% during the first quarter, showing
local investor preference for equities as inflation and currency hedges. The
gain, however, is calculated using the official exchange rate, at which it is no
longer possible to transact. During Februay 2000, the Fund began valuing the
currency based on actual bids, resulting in an implied devaluation of over 20%.
The social and political situation in the country has dramatically worsened this
year. At first, the lack of foreign exchange caused a fuel shortage (Zimbabwe
imports all of its fuel), which has hit industry and consumers alike. Partly as
a result, though the regime has been losing popularity over the last two years,
government suffered an embarrassing defeat when voters declined to accept a new
constitution in a referendum. Shortly thereafter, independence war veterans
invaded some farms owned by whites, allegedly protesting over the issue of land
redistribution, which President Mugabe has consistently used to stir up popular
sentiment. The government and security forces have refused to intervene,
creating a mood of lawlessness and uncertainty. With parliamentary elections on
the horizon, the stakes for ZANU-PF, Mugabe's political party, are extremely
high.
Inflation continues to run at extremely high levels, and interest rates still
fall short of offering a real return. Our position in Zimbabwe is predicated on
the premise that the value of the market will soar as dramatic changes in
government and economic policy occur. These changes, however, are not likely to
come smoothly nor quickly. For the moment, we believe owning equities is the
best way of preserving the value of the Fund's money invested in the country,
and we hope for an expedient resolution of the current social tensions.
GHANA
The Ghanaian market slipped by 11.8% in the first quarter, as measured by the
Databank Index. The majority of this slide was due to continued weakness in the
currency, which is ailing from low cocoa prices (the main export) and high oil
prices (the main import). The situation shows that the country was ill-prepared
for an external shock of this nature, having inadequate reserves and contingency
plans. We are surprised, however, that more decisive action has not been taken
by government or the IMF, who had helped orchestrate the taming of inflation
over the past several years.
The value in Ghanaian stocks is extremely compelling, with price-to-earnings
ratios in the low single digits (2.0x to 4.5x), yet they have been unable to
attract capital. We remain convinced that the market will generate adequate
returns over the longer term, as the sophistication and number of local
investors grows and new foreign players enter the market.
REST OF AFRICA
The Botswana market was flat for the first quarter, with the Domestic Companies
Index moving only 0.1%. There has been little news in the country over the first
quarter. The NSE Index in Kenya fell 6.7% in the first three months of the year,
as discussions with the IMF were inconclusive and the economy remained
lethargic.
On July 2, 1998, the Fund commenced a share repurchase program for purposes of
enhancing shareholder value and reducing the discount at which the Fund's shares
traded from their net asset value. For the three months ended March 31, 2000,
the Fund repurchased 200,000 shares of its Common Stock at an average price per
share of $9.56 and an average discount of 30.71% from net asset value per share.
The Fund expects to continue to repurchase its outstanding shares at such time
and in such amounts as it believes will further the accomplishment of the
foregoing objectives, subject to review by the Board.
Sincerely,
