# The Congress of South African Trade Unions says it remains confident that government will secure a positive and mutually beneficial trade agreement with the US. South Africa is trying to persuade president Donald Trump’s administration to lower the 30-percent tariff imposed in August on its exports to the US. Cosatu’s spokesperson, Matthew Parks, says […]
# Die DA verwelkom die positiewe tekens van ʼn omvattende handelsooreenkoms tussen Suid-Afrika en Amerika, en dat die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika dalk vir ʼn jaar verleng word. President Cyril Ramaphosa het verlede maand ʼn onderhandelingspan na Amerika gestuur om ʼn verlaging in die 30-persent tariewe op uitvoere na Amerika te probeer […]
# Eskom het die eerste keer in agt jaar ʼn wins van 16-miljard-rand na belasting getoon vir die volle jaar wat in Maart 2025 geëindig het. Die vorige jaar het die instelling ʼn verlies van 55-miljard-rand gehad. Die kragverskaffer skryf sy wins grootliks toe aan die ongewilde 12,74-persent standaard-tariefverhoging, ondersteuning met skuldverligting, en ʼn 14-persent […]
# Die minister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Parks Tau, sê hy bly optimisties oor die hernuwing van die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika, wat gister amptelik verstryk het.

The DA’s Toby Chance says they support […]
# Die minister van Toerisme, Patricia de Lille, het die afgedankte lede van die SA Toerismeraad beskuldig dat hulle onvanpaste taktiek gebruik het om haar onder druk te plaas om hulle weer aan te stel. Verlede maand het die afgedankte raadslede ‘n dringende aansoek by die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria ingedien om die minister se besluit […]
# Eskom has posted an after-tax profit of 16-billion-rand for the full year ending March 2025, its first return to profitability in eight years. This is up from the 55-billion-rand loss recorded in the previous year. The power utility has attributed its return to profit in large part to its unpopular 12.74-percent standard tariff increase, debt […]
# Trade, Industry, and Competition minister Parks Tau says he remains optimistic about the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act. This is despite AGOA officially expiring yesterday. Renewal is critical for South Africa as AGOA accounts for over 69-billion-rand in exports to the US, which represents 28-percent of all SA-US trade. Tau says […]
# Tourism minister Patricia de Lille has accused ousted members of the SA Tourism board of using inappropriate tactics to pressure her into reversing her decision to dissolve the board.
