CITRUSDAL, Western Cape - Citrus farmers in the Western Cape are worried.
They say the 30-percent tariffs the US imposed on South African exports will devastate the sector and job losses are inevitable.
Cosatu says it is extremely concerned by the impact of the 30% tariff announced by the United States on all South African exports bar minerals, to the world’s largest economy.
The trade union federation says it fears the devastation this will wreak upon farm workers in the citrus industry from the Western Cape to Limpopo, to motor manufacturing workers from the Eastern Cape to Gauteng.
eNCA's Ayesha Ismail reports that Western Cape Citrus farmers share this view, saying they cannot compete with 30% tariffs.
