The United States and China agreed Monday to slash their massive recent tariffs, restarting stalled trade between the world’s two biggest economies and setting off a rally in global financial markets. The de-escalation in President Donald Trump’s trade wars did nothing to resolve underlying differences between Beijing and Washington. The deal lasts 90 days, creating time for U.S. and Chinese negotiators to reach a more substantive agreement. But the pause also leaves tariffs higher than before Trump started ramping them up last month. Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is joined by Chief Investment Officer, First Avenue Investment Management Hlelo Giyose.

U.S and China Agree to Cut Tariffs

South Africa is emerging as a production hub for high-quality methamphetamine that's manufactured by transnational syndicates and then later exported to its more lucrative markets in Australia and New Zealand, for example,” said McLaggan.

He said that these are sophisticated operations where frontrunners rent properties and procure equipment often used by pharmaceutical companies.

McLaggan warned that the drug-lab busts this year may only be the beginning.

 

“South Africa's drug economy continues to be well-supplied, despite these busts. So, there are certainly more of these labs around the country, some of which are industrial-scale facilities, and they continue to ply South Africa's drug economy with these drugs,” he added.

Police have confirmed the drug lab found yesterday was on premises being rented out
