Summary:
I cover three major stories, starting with the United States raising tariffs on South African exports from 10% to 12.5% over forced-labour allegations. Precious metals, certain minerals and some fruit exports are exempt, but vehicles, components and aluminium still face separate 25% tariffs. I also look at South Africa’s struggling manufacturing sector, the effectiveness of special economic zones and concerns around the planned points-based immigration system.
I then turn to the Western Cape High Court’s decision to temporarily halt Parliament’s Phala Phala impeachment hearings against Cyril Ramaphosa, before looking at the latest chaos inside the MK Party. Jacob Zuma has appointed himself accounting officer, frozen party bank accounts and stepped in amid reported cash-flow problems, around R28 million in debt and office closures caused by unpaid rent.
