Trade concers between South Africa and USA

GAUTENG – Sydney Mufamadi, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s national security advisor, is leading a delegation in Washington DC to make sure that South Africa is not removed from the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) – a law which allows quota-free access to the US market – which is set to be extended or terminated in 2025. There are fears that South Africa could be ejected from the deal prior to 2025 due to its controversial stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
