ZLECAf and South Africa 🇿🇦

A quick reminder: What is the ZLECAf?

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is an initiative of the African Union to create a single continent-wide market for goods, services, capital and people. It represents the world's largest free-trade zone in terms of the number of participating countries, thus promoting African economic integration.

The most industrialized economy on the continent, South Africa plays a strategic role.

Its pillars:

• Automotive industry and steel industry
• Sector mining (gold, platinum)
• Major logistics hubs such as Durban and Johannesburg

Conclusion: As an industrial powerhouse, South Africa can act as a driving force for regional integration through the FTAA.
