JOHANNESBURG - The Congress of South African Trade Unions is welcoming government’s efforts to extend South Africa and other African countries’ AGOA membership.
They say a new and enhanced agreement will increase the scope of products covered to further boost Africa and South Africa’s economic and industrial development, job creation and decent work.
Cosatu was part of a delegation led by Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Parks Tau at the recent AGOA Forum, which took place in Washington, DC last week.
Cosatu's Matthew Parks said here have been extensive engagements between South Africa and the USA.
"I think we've seen a very positive shift," he said.
