Residents in rural #Newcastle have repeatedly raised concerns over the condition of roads. After formal letters, meetings & dangerous sections identified, communities still travel roads where avoiding #potholes means crossing into oncoming traffic.  @KZNTransport @Dotransport

Folks, there is an important note on @SemaforAfrica /@semafor’s newsletter this afternoon about the AGOA.

You see, as South Africa, we can't minimise the value of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade preference program from a sentiment perspective. The discussion about the extension is key and continuous inclusion of South Africa would be beneficial.

Still, it is true that the 12.5% tariffs have distorted the benefits of AGOA to some extent.

Having said that, AGOA is important. In the absence of AGOA, some South African export products to the U.S. would have likely faced around 15.5% tariffs, including Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs, in addition to Liberation Day Tariffs.

Here, we have added an average 3% lower-end MFN tariff, but the rates generally differ by product. Thankfully, we are not at this stage, and South Africa still faces around 12.5% tariffs.

Also, South Africa’s agricultural exports to the U.S. in 2025 amount to US$504 million, down 3% from the previous year. This is about 4% of South Africa’s agricultural exports.

P172 (Hidcote) is showing signs of advanced pavement failure! Hazardous conditions for farmers, transport operators & rural communities. Water is collecting within failed areas of the road surface, accelerating deterioration. #NoRoadsNoFood #FixRuralRoads

Midde die kragkrisis weier Eskom om afstand te doen van sy rasplanne. Solidariteit het Eskom gister weer tydens konsultasie gevra om vrystelling by die Departement te vra van sy rastransformasieteikens. Eskom weier. Dit volg na sy planne om van 100de wit kundiges ontslae te raak.

Eskom:
Pre-94 produced 56 GW of electricity with only 17000 employees.
2023 produce 27 GW of electricity with 47000 employees.
What went wrong?

Ek was die week in Orania. Dit bou dat dit klap. Indrukwekkende nuwe rioolplaas wat werk met natuurlike prosesse sonder Eskom. 100 000 ton grond geskuif. Alles met gemeenskapkapitaal en -arbeid. Daar is antwoorde anderkant staat. Ons sal self!
