Increasing customs duties
In South Africa our manufacturing capabilities are collapsing because of corruption (ANC preferred tenders without any accountability) and BEE. Therefore to stay abreast of changes in technologies we have to now import many things.

As indicated in many articles by reputable authors, tariffs cause damage in the long term, although there is a short term gain protecting own manufacturing, which in the case of renewables, is non-existent.

Tariffs, as mentioned in many enlightened articles by reputable authors indicate tariffs cause damage in the long term, although there is a short term gain protecting own manufacturing.

The key question what manufacturing to protect? We cannot even sort out a drivers license manufacturing process.
