Ramaphosa calls on Zimbabwe to fix trade gap

President Cyril Ramaphosa told the SA-Zimbabwe Bi-National Commission on Friday that trade between the two neighbors has nearly doubled in four years but remains unbalanced. South Africa exports far more to Zimbabwe than it imports, Ramaphosa said. The President urged Zimbabwe to boost its exports to South Africa, pointing to untapped potential in agriculture and manufacturing. The fourth session of the commission in Pretoria focused on economic cooperation and infrastructure investment. The imbalance underscores Zimbabwe's struggle to diversify its export base.
