In 2024, South Africa faces a big threat as the US plans to slap 30% tariffs on its exports, risking up to 100,000 jobs, especially in cars and farming. This could shrink sales, raise prices, and hurt the country’s money value, making life harder for many people. Without strong trade deals like AGOA, South Africa’s industries and workers stand on shaky ground. The country must act fast, find new markets, and support its workers to ride out this tough storm and build a stronger future.
