<h1>US tariffs on South African imports risk 30,000 jobs, hitting automotive and agriculture sectors hard</h1> Reciprocal US tariffs set to impose a 30 percent duty on most imports from South Africa have placed approximately 30,000 jobs at risk, according to South African officials. The tariffs, effective August 8, target key export sectors including automotive and agriculture, exacerbating the country's already high unemployment rates. South African authorities are engaging with the US to mitigate impacts and preserve market access, while simultaneously seeking to diversify export markets through increased trade with Asia, the Middle East, and intra-African partners. Certain critical sectors remain exempt from tariffs. The government has established an Export Support Desk to assist exporters in finding alternative markets. Business groups have called for a coordinated trade crisis committee involving government and industry leaders to provide swift support and maintain employment amid the economic challenges posed by the tariffs.
