The Failing South African Economy just Got Slapped with More Bad News

South Africa's economy is unravelling fast—now even global shipping giants are pulling out.

In today’s video, we break down the devastating impact of new U.S. tariffs and the shocking decision by Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, to cancel its direct trade route between South Africa and the United States. This comes after billions in lost contracts and dire warnings from our citrus and automotive industries.

With rerouted shipments now going through Europe—adding delays, surcharges, and cost increases of up to 40%—South African exporters are in serious trouble. The government’s ongoing mismanagement of ports, its diplomatic blunders, and its failure to act on international concerns have left the economy exposed and brittle.

The result? More job losses, higher prices, and the slow collapse of our international trade relationships.

📉 This is what it looks like when a government fails at every level—and ordinary South Africans are left to suffer the consequences.
