Zimbabwe's ongoing restrictions on some of SA's products violate Sadc trade protocols, warns Rob Davies

12 March 2019 - 22:27The South African government has raised concerns over more than 100 tariff lines in Zimbabwe’s laws which act as barriers to trade between the two countries.

Davies said SA was concerned that Zimbabwe continued to impose restrictions on some of its products. This was despite Zimbabwe lifting controversial legislation, called Statutory Instrument 64 , that governed the tariffs. According to minutes of the summit, seen by Business Day, Harare has asked for a waiver on the regional protocols.“In their laws, there are still 112 tariff lines where we have issues that make it difficult to get products from SA into Zimbabwe. We discussed some of these issues and we were able to strike a deal to do away with some of the issues, 29 to be exact," Davies said."But the majority of our concerns still remain.

Zimbabwean industries are not producing enough for the people who have no other choice but to buy such products from SA, he said.
