Decode, a pan‑African strategic communications and advisory firm, has published the 6th edition of its annual South African Government Leaders on X (formerly Twitter) report, under the theme “Year of Reckoning and Resilience.”

The study highlights stark contrasts across government departments and State‑Owned Companies (SOCs) in 2025. It reveals that while some institutions faced significant challenges around credibility and accountability, others recorded notable improvements in both operational performance and public reputation.

South Africa is considering imposing tariffs of up to 50% on vehicles imported from China and India, in an effort to protect its domestic automotive industry from a surge in imports. 

The country’s Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) is reportedly conducting an internal review to assess potential measures aimed at curbing inbound shipments, which policymakers say are undermining local manufacturing.

Meanwhile, the Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA), a trade union, has criticised the proposal, arguing that the government should not protect one sector at the expense of others. Thami Ngubeni spoke to Ayabonga Cawe, the Chief Commissioner of the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC).
