What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Solidarity submitted a settlement proposal to the US and South African governments concerning South Africa’s race-based policies. These proposals are part of a broader effort to ensure South Africa remains a beneficiary country under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The White House is reportedly reconsidering South Africa’s participation in AGOA, with an announcement expected on or before November 1.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The status of AGOA is critical to South Africa’s trade relationship with the United States of America. Solidarity is concerned that the deteriorating relationship between the two countries, coupled with comments made by South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, has increased the risk of South Africa being removed from AGOA.
