The EFF Chief Whip, Floyd Shivambu says there won't be anything fundamentally shifting in terms of the colonial status that South Africa occupies in its trade relationship with the United Kingdom
The Economic Freedom Fighters has rejected the new Southern African Customs Union and Mozambique SACUM-UK- Economic Partnership deal which the Trade and Industry Minister, Ebrahim Patel has announced. Patel told the National Assembly that South Africa’s trade relationships with the UK would continue without disruption, regardless of Brexit.The six SACUM countries are South Africa, Mozambique, Lesotho, Eswatini, Botswana and Namibia.“The Minister of Trade and Industry comes here to have some neo-colonial exuberance in speaking about a new colonial status in the so called new deal with Britain or the UK in General.
“So what that trade relationship will do, is to continue to benefit the minority white agricultural practitioners and the European companies that are invested in the manufacturing sector. So it is to say, now that the ultra-nationalists in the UK have relinquished their Pan Continentals project by voting to leave the European economic community South Africa goes to beg that, please don’t affect the white minority control of the economy of South Africa,” Shivambu adds.
However, the Democratic Alliance has welcomed Patel’s announcement of a new trade partnership deal between the six SACUM countries and the United Kingdom.“Until the 31 of 31st October 2019, this access via the EPA to the United Kingdom will remain. However, should the United Kingdom leave the EU without a deal, this renewed agreement will come into effect.
I hope you have an alternative plan or are you just rejecting on the basis of rejecting. WE NEED PLANS NOT REJECTIONS
Put your own deal on the table if you don’t agree with Patel’s. That’s how real life works bro, if you don’t want this, bring something else instead.
