# Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau, says he has requested the US to provide evidence that South Africa is importing goods using forced labour. The US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has flagged 60 countries, including South Africa, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, on suspicion of unfair trade practices and the use of forced labour. In a written reply to a parliamentary question by the MK Party, Tau insisted that the investigation had nothing to do with South Africa’s participation in the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act.
