Busisiwe Mavuso | The AGOA review starts next week. SA govt has a lot of explaining to do | Business

Next week the process begins in the US Congress to review eligibility of countries for benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act .

The eligibility debate is one matter and the renewal debate is another but in both, South Africa stands to lose. If we care about AGOA eligibility and the tens of thousands of jobs it creates, then the time has come to clarify how we as a country do not threaten US security interests. This clarity needs to be backed up by a capable diplomatic effort by our foreign service in the United States.

Eligibility will be determined before the end of the year and the White House will announce which countries will continue to benefit under AGOA from next January. We have a narrow window of opportunity to make the case that it is in US interests to continue to give South Africa access to US markets.
