The United States has slapped a 30% tariff on many South African exports, making their goods more expensive and harder to sell in the US market. This sudden change hits important industries like citrus, wine, and steel, forcing businesses to scramble for new customers and government help. Despite the tough times, South African companies are showing grit and creativity, exploring new markets and finding fresh ways to survive. The government is working hard to keep talks open with the US, hoping for a fair solution without trade fights. Even with uncertainty ahead, South Africa’s spirit of resilience shines bright.
