Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen speaks to Lester Kiewit about the looming 30% tariff on South African exports to the U.S., recently announced by President Donald Trump and set to take effect on 1 August 2025. Steenhuisen warns the tariff could cripple local agriculture - impacting citrus, wine, grapes, nuts and more - and severely harm the economy and jobs. He also believes it signals the unofficial end of AGOA, the trade agreement that has long granted South Africa duty-free access to U.S. markets. While President Ramaphosa has called for continued negotiations and challenged the basis of the tariff, Steenhuisen says urgent economic reforms are now essential to soften the blow and build long-term resilience.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Cyril Ramaphosa vows the national dialogue will proceed without the DA, as John Steenhuisen hits back at Thabo Mbeki's criticism. Deputy President Paul Mashatile highlights tensions threatening the GNU's stability, while Trump's looming tariffs send shockwaves through South Africa's citrus industry. Plus, Bloomberg questions whether BRICS can fill the global void left by a retreating America.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has launched a scathing attack on DA Leader John Steenhuisen. This for the decision to withdraw from the National Dialogue. Ramaphosa's rebuke comes in the wake of former President Thabo Mbeki's open letter to Steenhuisen. The aim of the much talked National Dialogue is to bring South Africans from all walks of life together to discuss the kind of South Africa they want. Speaking on the side-lines of the state visit by Austrian President, Alexander van der Bellen at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Ramaphosa says the National Dialogue would probably be successful without the participation of the DA and its diversionary inputs. Our Politics Reporter Ntebo Mokobo has more.

Die DA sê president Cyril Ramaphosa bedreig die stabiliteit van die koalisie nadat Andrew Whitfield van die DA as adjunkminister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging afgedank het. Die leier van die DA, John Steenhuisen, sê die afdanking was polities gemotiveerd en demonstreer dubbele standaarde, met sekere ANC ministers wat steeds in hul poste is ten spyte van betrokkenheid by korrupsie. Steenhuisen waarsku dat sodanige optrede spanning binne die regering van nasionale eenheid kan vererger en vra Ramaphosa om verantwoordelik op te tree om eenheid te behou:

Die volg na die skielike afdanking van die adjunkminister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Andrew Whitfield. Steenhuisen sê Whitfield is die onregverdig laat gaan oor 'n geringe reiskwessie, al het hy die voorgeskrewe stappe gevolg.

Steenhuisen het tydens die aanvaarding van die Wet op die Verdeling van Inkomste in die Parlement gesê die skuif is 'n berekende aanval op die DA.

Die DA sê hy is trots op die oorwinning van die landbouminister, John Steenhuisen, wat die styging van die broodprys sal verhoed. Die party sê die minister het 'n vorige reëling geïdentifiseer en beëindig waar 'n verskaffer gemagtig word om gehalte-inspeksies van brood en graan by kleinhandelaars dwarsdeur die land te kan uitvoer. Willie Aucamp van die DA sê die verskaffer sou 'n heffing instel by winkels wat die prys van brood sou verhoog:

In this week's episode of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer talks about the possibility of the African National Congress (ANC) regaining a majority in 2028 by taking credit for the good work being done in the Government of National Unity (GNU) by ministers, mostly of other parties. However, he also warns the ANC that it risks a “palace revolution” unless it deals with the corruption in its ranks. He referees the latest spat between Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen and President Cyril Ramaphosa who now has Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie jumping to his defence. De Beer talks about the high profile defections of people with “sensitive information” to the MK Party of former President Jacob Zuma, as well as the arrest of his benefactor, the diamond dealer Louis Liebenberg. And he describes the “dismantling” of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) as “the once rising revolutionary replacement of the ANC to something that will just be folding directly into the MK”.
