GUEST – Victor Kgomoeswana - Africa expert

Trade relations between South Africa and Rwanda have grown significantly over the years, shaped by diplomatic engagement, economic policies, and regional trade agreements.

We’ll explore how businesses in both countries are navigating trade dynamics, what role regional blocs like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) play, and how diplomatic and economic ties are influencing trade flows.
