What does AGOA exit mean for YOUR community? 🍊 Citrus farms in Limpopo, Eastern Cape 👕 Clothing factories in Cape Town, Atlantis, Malmesbury 🚗 Auto plants in Gqeberha and Pretoria Thousands of jobs linked to AGOA supply chains. COSATU is already raising alarm. Tonight at 20h10 on #TOTMS, Economist @ta_kweila explains who gets hit, how hard and what government and business must do in the next 60 days. #AGOA 📌 #TopOfTheMorningSpace

MYTH vs FACT on AGOA: MYTH: SA can no longer export to the US. FACT: SA will still export, but will pay normal WTO tariffs (MFN rates), no longer duty-free. MYTH: All exports are affected. FACT: Only ∼10% of SA exports to US were under AGOA in 2025 - but key sectors are hit: Automotive, Citrus, Clothing. Tonight at 20h10 CAT, Economist @ta_kweila on #TOTMS breaks down the REAL impact, not the panic. What are the numbers? What is Plan B? 📌 #TopOfTheMorningSpace
