analysis: The text appears to be related to the activities of transnational corporations, particularly in the context of South Africa and Namibia. It discusses the role of these corporations in the two countries and the potential impacts on the region. The text also mentions the establishment of a panel of eminent persons to conduct public hearings on the topic. Given the focus on corporate activities and their potential effects, it is likely that the text falls under a category related to international trade, industry, or economic development.
