According to the department, the Minister highlighted the mutually beneficial nature of bilateral trade relations, with an emphasis on how moving forward, these relations can support South Africa’s goals of achieving rapid, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, job creation, poverty alleviation and a just society.
South Africa enjoys strategic relations with the USA and has strong political, economic, and social ties.
According to the department, bilateral cooperation with the United States covers various issues aligned with South Africa’s domestic priorities and the National Development Plan (NDP).
America is also the leading source of foreign direct investment, a market for value-added exports and agri-products, technology transfer, development assistance, investment finance, skills development, and tourism for South Africa.
The department believes that these investments make a significant contribution to supporting government efforts to reduce poverty, unemployment and inequality. – SAnews.gov.za

Archeologists in South Africa have just discoved what they think is the oldest tampon ever found
They are trying to find out what period it came from.
Truth
A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.
Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.
He replied in disgust \”I\’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\”
Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said \”Me too, I didn\’t know we had a choice.\”
