"We must also confront the challenges that stand in the way of even greater economic progress. Two key issues demand our collective attention, namely, delayed infrastructure investments and pervasive bureaucratic red tape."

Minister Parks Tau says ties between SA and the US are not merely transactional, but are built on shared ambitions, mutual respect, and a vision for a prosperous future. He was reacting to recent tarrif announcements from the US at the AGM of the American Chamber of Business SA

"As we are updated on developments, we are encouraged that the tariff structure excludes some of South Africa’s key exports, particularly our Platinum Group of Metals, which has served as our industrial backbone over the past decade."

"The strength of South African investment in the US is worth noting. Since 2018, SA's FDI into the U.S. has consistently surpassed American FDI into SA, reaching a cumulative R1.04-trillion over the period from 2019 to 2023, compared to R726-billion flowing from the US."

"Our bilateral investment flows are more than just numbers. They represent a deep-seated confidence in our respective markets, and a shared commitment to growth and transformation."

"We must also confront the challenges that stand in the way of even greater economic progress. Two key issues demand our collective attention, namely, delayed infrastructure investments and pervasive bureaucratic red tape."
