Ghana’s 🇬🇭 President John Dramani Mahama has declared that small-scale retail outlets such as corner shops and container stores are exclusively reserved for Ghanaian citizens to protect local livelihoods.
He stressed that foreign investors are welcome in larger sectors of the economy, but small retail businesses must remain in the hands of Ghanaians in line with the country’s investment laws.

@LeratoPillayZA If politicians had to work just one year at minimum wage, we’d witness their humanity return in a blink.

@ChimCham7 @Bronx_wrangler @conci3rge @sherwiebp @afriforum It’s the stick! Not like we weren’t expecting it. Tariffs will affect Afriforum members worse than the rest of SA though, unless they choose to export somewhere other than the US.

@Bronx_wrangler @conci3rge @IranEmbassyNot @sherwiebp @afriforum They went to the White House to ask the Trump administration to find creative ways to punish the South African economy! There it is
English

The United States Office of the Trade Representative has PROPOSED new tariffs for 60 economies, including South Africa, related to what it describes as the failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor - calling it unreasonable and that it burdens or restricts U.S. commerce, and are thus actionable under Section 301(b) of the Trade Act.
From their statement:
"For economies that impose a forced labor import prohibition, that have committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or economies that have imposed a partial regime with the effect of preventing the importation of certain forced labor goods, the U.S. Trade Representative proposes 10% as the rate of additional duties.
For all other economies, the U.S. Trade Representative proposes 12.5% as the rate of additional duty."

@conci3rge @Bronx_wrangler @ChimCham7 @sherwiebp Of course, & the Israel case at ICJ. But it’s not necessarily a bad thing for us in the long run. History shows local markets strengthen to make up for gaps. We just need to retire the current crop of politicians first.

@Bronx_wrangler @IranEmbassyNot @ChimCham7 @sherwiebp This is more of they are pissed that SA joined BRICS and they are trading alot with China
English

@Bronx_wrangler @ChimCham7 @sherwiebp Unpopular opinion - I like it!
Not convinced it noble of US unless all countries dealing with the problematic industries & countries would be subject to same tariffs.
SA can find & develop other markets, give local industries a boost & develop refining capabilities.
English

Correct. The issue is that SA and other countries are not doing enough to stop the import of products from countries using forced labour. There are a few examples they highlight in their report. The most obvious one in SA relates to textiles and apparel. SA does have the regulatory framework to implement and place pressure on these countries and manufacturers. This will hurt SA and other countries exporting to the US. It will also hurt the US with higher import costs to their countries. However we need to stop the exploitation of forced labour.

@Madsan88 @talkcentss Lie! Immigrants are monopolising the spaces they enter in the informal economy together with mafia type protection against South Africans occupying those spaces that curtailing informal growth in comparison to other developing nations. growthlab.hks.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…
English

@talkcentss And who is behind that growth? Immigrants. The key question would be: If all immigrants who run informal tuck shops were to get chased away, would the South African citizen step in & be able to produce the same results? If not, why? Why couldn't they do it b4 foreigners came?

Yesterday, Leon Shreiber, Minister of Home Affairs, failed to give information on how many members of parliament have dual citizenship🚮
Yesterday, Siviwe Gwarube, Minister of Education, failed to give information on how many illegal aliens are in public schools in Western Cape🚮
Disgusting.
Highly incompetent.
Unpatriotic.
Useless.
They are a danger to our democracy.

[WATCH] National Joint Operational and Intelligence chairperson Structure Tebello Mosikili clarifies that Nhlamulo Sambo's death is not linked to the unrest currently affecting parts of SA. Mosikili urges the public to refrain from spreading misinformation as this can

في حادثة لافتة حدثت في أوغندا، قررت وزيرة الصحة "سارة" أن تقوم بخطوة جريئة لكشف الفساد داخل أحد المستشفيات الحكومية. فقامت بالتنكر في زي امرأة منقبة حتى لا يتعرف عليها أحد، وتوجهت إلى أحد المستشفيات العامة بهدف إجراء فحص بسيط لمستوى السكر في الدم.
عند وصولها إلى قسم الاستقبال، طلب منها الموظفون دفع رشوة مالية مقابل إجراء الفحص، على الرغم من أن هذه الخدمات الصحية يجب أن تُقدَّم مجانًا للمواطنين، بحسب القوانين المعمول بها في المستشفيات الحكومية. وحينما رفضت الوزيرة، مؤكدّة أن العلاج في هذه المرافق من المفترض أن يكون بلا مقابل، رفض الموظفون تقديم أي خدمة لها، وتعاملوا معها بجفاء واستهتار.
في تلك اللحظة، كشفت الوزيرة عن هويتها الحقيقية، لتُفاجئ الجميع بأنها ليست مجرد مريضة، بل وزيرة الصحة نفسها. وعلى الفور، أصدرت أوامرها باعتقال جميع المتورطين في الواقعة، من موظفين وأطباء، لبدء تحقيق رسمي في قضايا الفساد والإهمال داخل القطاع الصحي.
تعد هذه الحادثة مثالًا صارخًا على الفساد الإداري، ولكنها في الوقت نفسه تُظهر حرص بعض المسؤولين النزيهين على التحقق بأنفسهم من واقع الخدمات التي تُقدم للمواطنين.
