India, Oct. 5 -- South Africa's private sector activity showed a downturn in September amid renewed declines in business activity and new orders, survey data from S&P Global showed on Monday.
The purchasing managers' index for the private sector economy dropped to 49.0 in September from 50.5 in August. A score above 50.0 indicates expansion, while any reading below 50 suggests contraction.
South African companies reduced their business activity to the greatest extent since May due to weaker demand conditions and input constraints and delays.
