What AGOA's loss means for SA

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Kingsley Makhubela, former ambassador and director at RiskRecon, about the future of South Africa’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act, known as AGOA. The Trump administration is considering ending South Africa’s preferential, duty-free access to the American market from January 2027, citing concerns around trade barriers, corruption and national security. South Africa has been the largest beneficiary of the programme over the past 25 years. Losing these benefits would not stop South African goods from entering the US, but it could make exports more expensive and put local businesses under pressure.

SAHRC report exposes deep-rooted failures behind Gauteng’s water crisis

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Ferrial Adam, Executive Director of WaterCAN, about Gauteng’s worsening water crisis. A new report by the South African Human Rights Commission finds that the problem is not simply a shortage of water, but failing infrastructure, leaking pipes, poor maintenance, electricity interruptions and weaknesses in municipal management. The report also warns that communities are increasingly relying on water tankers, which cannot become a permanent substitute for properly functioning water infrastructure. Across Johannesburg, some residents have already gone weeks without water. So, where are the biggest failures, who must be held accountable, and what needs to happen to fix the crisis? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
