South Africa faces a big threat as the U.S. plans to add a 30% tariff on its goods, risking up to 30,000 jobs in farming, car making, and textiles. This could slow the economy and make life harder for many families. The government is working hard to find new trade partners, especially within Africa and Asia, to protect businesses and workers. While tensions with the U.S. rise, South Africa hopes its spirit and smart strategies will help it survive and grow in a tricky global world.
