(Reuters) - Woolworths (WHLJ.J) plans to enter oil-rich Angola as the premium South African food and clothing retailer looks to bolster its presence in other poor but fast-growing African markets.

Michael Luscombe, Managing Director and CEO of Woolworths Limited announces the company's full year results on 26 August 2010.

"We should be stronger in Africa. We've taken a strategic view to build our businesses in Africa," outgoing chief executive Simon Susman told Reuters.

Susman also said the Cape Town-based company was seeing increased sales of food and clothing since July but sale growth was still lower than 4-5 years ago.
