2025-06-20 06:25:09 +02:00 | Gabrielle | No I do not | 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. |

2025-06-19 09:48:40 +02:00 | Derek | No I do not | Increasing customs duties | In South Africa our manufacturing capabilities are collapsing because of corruption (ANC preferred tenders with no consideration for competence) and BEE. Therefore to stay abreast of changes in technologies we have now import many things. 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. |

2025-06-15 12:51:40 +02:00 | Nea | No I do not | Adding additional items to the 'local-only' list | |
2025-06-14 09:58:23 +02:00 | Lourens | No I do not | Other | Whilst BBBEE is in place, I cant give you my opinion, because we do not know who will benefit from this. I am all for protectionism, limiting raw exports, increasing final product exports, but unfortunately due to BBBEE, the supply chain locally will be so loaded with government increased prices to conform to their policies, that we will out-price everybody, ourselves (local market) and potential international trade partners. I say no leave things as they are, rather focus on removing all government intervention on trade until our economy shows acceptable growth again. |
2025-06-13 20:32:47 +02:00 | Simon | No I do not | Increasing customs duties | Firstly the thieving ANC destroys Eskom thereby forcing the rest of us to produce our own power. Now that poses a danger to them! Enough already! Tsek ANC! Naff off and die! |
