South Africa must diversify trade

South Africa’s envoy to the United States, Mcebisi Jonas, says the country must broaden its trade relationships as it faces potential tariff changes and uncertainty over the future of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

Jonas made the remarks ahead of an expected announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump on trade policies related to Africa. He said African countries should take the lead in navigating global trade, despite challenges such as debt and rising protectionism.
