Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Kingsley Makhubela, former ambassador and director at RiskRecon, about the future of South Africa’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act, known as AGOA. The Trump administration is considering ending South Africa’s preferential, duty-free access to the American market from January 2027, citing concerns around trade barriers, corruption and national security.

Losing these benefits would not stop South African goods from entering the US, but it could make exports more expensive and put local businesses under pressure.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Ferrial Adam, Executive Director of WaterCAN, about Gauteng’s worsening water crisis.
