Abstract: South Africa has a long history in science, technology and innovation, and it also has an advanced research system, covers most areas of manufacturing, and because the performance evaluation process requires the availability of a number of indicators in order to determine the level of performance that has actually been achieved, hence this research came to study, analyze and classify research and development indicators according to their multiple dimensions, where the research problem was that although South Africa is making good progress in all research and development indicators, on the other hand, this picture may not be reflected in international reports, and the outcome of that progress is less than it should be in international indicators.The research relied on the inductive approach to reach its results in addition to the analytical descriptive approach.The results showed that the financial and human indicators reflect the level of investment in research and development in South Africa, as most of them witnessed continuous growth throughout the study period, except for the periods affected by the Corona virus .The research also found progress in the indicators of research and development for South Africa in international reports, as it ranked No. 61 for the year 2022 in the Global Innovation Index among 132 global economies ، South Africa's rank in the Global Competitiveness Index in 2019 also rose to number 60 out of 141 economies, after ranking 67 in 2018, with an advance of 7 degrees.
