ANC top leadership at the ordinary sitting of the NEC in Germiston on the East Rand on August 1, 2025.
The African National Congress (ANC) says its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting has started to deliberate extensively on the 30% tariffs that the United States (US) has imposed on South African goods.
South Africa is among nearly 70 countries that are facing the US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on exports.
The tariffs will come into effect in less than a week if a deal not reached during the current trade talks between SA and America.
The four-day ANC NEC meeting is under way in Johannesburg.
The NEC is looking extensively into the country’s economic woes, particularly with those tariffs imposed by the US.
The tariffs will have a negative effect on SA’s economy particularly when it comes to job creation in the agricultural sector, which has some of the products that the US imports such as citrus fruits and the various wines.
