Listen "Tariffs, Trade & Turning Points: SA Manufacturing Under Pressure - 07 August 2025"
Episode Synopsis
The South African manufacturing sector faces a major blow as a 30% tariff on exports to the US officially kicks in. With international trade being the lifeline for many local producers, what does this mean for the economy, employment, and the future of South Africa’s industrial base? As we unpack the ripple effects of this development, we also ask: could this be the push needed to shift consumer behaviour and bolster support for local production? Joining us to share insight and expertise is Dr. Andrew Dickson, Engineering Executive at CBi-electric: Low Voltage — a key player in the industry and a passionate advocate for sustainable manufacturing.
