US tariffs threatening 30,000 South African jobs, as country faces 32.9% unemployment.

US tariffs set to take effect on August 8th could put 30,000 South African jobs at risk, according to officials. The 30% tariff on imports from South Africa, its third-largest trading partner, adds to the country's economic challenges, including a 32.9% unemployment rate. President Cyril Ramaphosa urges swift adaptation, while the government seeks to diversify export markets, focusing on Asia and the Middle East.
