50 years ago, the youth of Soweto rose up for their right to learn, be free and be heard.
We remember them and reaffirm our commitment to stand with South Africaโs youth as they build a just and prosperous future.

๐ธSanctions have cut Russia off from global capital markets.
๐ธRussiaโs economy is slowing sharply.

Our consistency is paying off.

EU INVESTMENT ROADSHOW IN SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa forms an integral part of the European Union trade partnership with at least 90% of our exports destined for European markets.
The 2016 EU-SADC Economic Partnership Agreement is a key policy framework which provides preferential market access, such that a vast majority of South African goods enter EU markets duty-free or with reduced tariffs.
According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade report, the European Union imports of various commodities in manufacturing, mining, agriculture and others from South Africa was US$23.82 billion in the year 2025.
That alone shows a magnitude of exports to the EU and a significant economic enabler to sustain livelihoods in different sectors.

EU INVESTMENT ROADSHOW IN SOUTH AFRICA
South Africaโs is well positioned to play a catalytic role in advancing regional and global integration, particularly in sectors such as transport, logistics, and maritime development, which are fundamental enablers of trade-led growth.
This Roadshow is taking place at an opportune moment for South Africa to leverage and attract strategic partners and investors to assist with intent to improve efficiencies and predictability in regional transport and logistics systems.
It cannot be that the port system of South Africa with eight commercial ports along the 3,000KM coastline, a good road network of about one hundred and sixty thousand kilometers (160,000KMs) and our strategic intent to move cargo from roads to rail still faces several operational challenges whereas we have willingness from the global network of investors to partner with.

The nearly โฌ12 billion investment package under the Global Gateway is significant. But investment commitments do not create jobs. It is the projects, infrastructure builds, factories and industrial development that creates the jobs.
The EU Roadshow begins this implementation.
