Time is Up! South Africa BEGS Trump to Postpone Tariffs

South Africa had 90 days to renegotiate its trade position with the United States — and it blew it. Despite early chest-pounding from government officials, the Ramaphosa administration failed to act, missed critical deadlines, and now faces the wrath of the Trump administration. With AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) on the chopping block, 35,000 South African jobs are at risk and U.S. tariffs loom large.

In this video, we break down the failed diplomacy, the missed opportunities, and what this means for ordinary South Africans. From trade tensions to Eskom déjà vu, this is another case of last-minute crisis management — and the country may not recover this time.
