South Africa could be heading toward a major AGOA crisis—and the consequences for exporters, farmers, manufacturers, and jobs could be severe.
In this conversation, Russell Lamberti explains why Washington is reviewing AGOA, why South Africa is increasingly under scrutiny, and how a groundbreaking proposal could change the future of US-SA trade relations.
Rob Hersov and Russell Lamberti unpack the origins of AGOA, the growing bipartisan concern in Washington over South Africa’s policy direction, and a new framework designed to separate compliant businesses, provinces, and municipalities from national government decisions.
The discussion explores property rights, trade policy, tariffs, BEE, employment equity laws, expropriation concerns, aviation sector victories, and the broader battle over economic freedom in South Africa.
Whether you support or oppose the proposal, this interview offers a detailed look at one of the most important economic debates facing South Africa today.
