On the Discourse this morning, we turn our attention to South Africa's trade relationship with the United States.  This as the partnership faces a critical test with  Washington reviewing the Pretoria's eligibility for the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA. The programme has provided South African exporters with preferential access to the American market, supporting key industries, businesses and jobs. With diplomatic and trade relations between Pretoria and Washington under pressure, the government faces the challenge of protecting these economic gains while advancing South Africa's national interests. We spoke to spokesperson for South Africa's Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Kaamil Alli
