South African Exports to Face 30% US Tariff as Trump Targets African Trade

The United States has announced a significant increase in tariffs on imports from 20 African countries, with South African products facing the highest tarrifs of 30%.

The new tariffs, which take effect on August 7, were revealed by President Donald Trump in a statement on Thursday.

South Africa, the only country from sub-Saharan Africa to be singled out for the top-tier tariff rate, is expected to be severely impacted.

The United States is South Africa’s second-largest trading partner, and the move threatens to disrupt key export sectors including automotive, agriculture, and mining.

Neighboring countries Lesotho and Zimbabwe were also affected, though at a lower rate of 15%. Other African nations not included in the list will continue to face the 10% baseline tariff introduced in April.

Side note: It's high time Africa starts to trade within, and stop waiting for western validation. It's time to have a single trade currency for the whole of Africa, just like the Euro which is used by European countries to trade. Africa should not wait for the West to dictate its future, Africa should decide its own future. Let's create a single African currency which we can use to trade within. It's time.

"A Little Light Named You"
Once upon a time, in a quiet corner of the world, lived someone with a heart full of dreams and a spirit that refused to be dimmed. That someone was you. You had walked through many paths some soft and gentle, others rough and silent but you always kept your light.

You didn’t need to be loud to be seen. Your presence, even in stillness, spoke of love, strength, and resilience. You learned from your family, laughed with friends, and listened to your heart even when it whispered softly.

And from that moment on, things changed. You weren’t just living for yourself anymore. You were sharing your story, your time, and your love.

And now, you're still writing that story step by step, word by word with truth, with courage, and with love.

The Upright Man!
“We Are All Sankara’s”: The Flame That Refused to Die. He lived for the people. He died among them. And even in death, they never let go.

In the dusty heart of West Africa, Thomas Sankara dared to dream—and to act. Born in December 1949, he rose like a storm and passed like a meteor, gone too soon in October 1987 at just 38. Yet, his four-year presidency transformed not just a nation, but a mindset. When he seized power in 1983, Upper Volta was a name left behind. He rechristened it Burkina Faso, “Land of Upright People,” a reflection of his ideals—and himself. Sankara was upright in character, fiery in truth, and unwavering in justice.

In a world that too often trampled on women’s voices, Sankara raised them. He banned forced marriages, championed girls' education, appointed women to leadership, and declared, “The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity, but as a basic necessity.” This was no mere rhetoric—it was policy, it was action, it was belief. He lived simply, shunning the trappings of power. He sold government limousines, took a modest salary, and even rode a bicycle to work.

But truth is a dangerous thing. On October 15, 1987, Sankara convened a meeting with 13 close allies to discuss the nation’s pressing issues. It began at 4:15 p.m. By 4:30, the meeting room echoed with gunfire. The first to fall were his bodyguards and driver. Sankara tried to protect the others. Always the shield, never the sword. But this would be his final act. The bullets that rang out that day didn’t just kill a man—they tried to kill a movement.

Yet the revolution did not die. At his humble grave, a note once appeared:
“Do not worry, Mama Sankara. We will avenge the death of your son. We are all Sankaras.”
No truer words could honor him. His spirit—unshaken, unyielding—still echoes in classrooms, protests, speeches, and songs across Africa and beyond.

Let us remember this: A man may be killed, but not his convictions. Thomas Sankara proved that when you live for the people, you never really die. You become the people.

Peter Obi celebrates his birthday today. Okwute Ndi Igbo. A notable philanthropic gesture was made yesterday with a ₦15 million donation to the UNN Dentistry Department, exemplifying his commitment to education. Despite his reluctance to celebrate birthdays, we are compelled to acknowledge him. Let us overwhelm this post with expressions of goodwill. As a distinguished politician known for his consistency, discipline, and selflessness, he merits celebration. Happy birthday to Peter Obi. May God's guidance and protection continue to be upon him. We celebrate you on behalf of all of us at Jaconna and JAGAJAG Africa and wish you well in your quest to liberate Nigeria from corrupt politicians. As a pan-African, we stand by you at all times.

Aliko Dangote Tops the List of World’s Richest Black People

Here is What We Can Learn

A newly released global ranking of the world’s wealthiest Black individuals has the world talking and sitting confidently at number one is Nigeria’s own business titan, Aliko Dangote.

The Journey Begins...
In 1977, at just 21, Dangote borrowed ₦500,000 (about $3,000 at the time) from his uncle to begin trading in rice, sugar, and cement. Rather than spending his early profits, he reinvested them over and over again. With time, he shifted from importation to local production, laying the groundwork for Dangote Cement, now one of Africa’s industrial giants.

Despite operating in one of the world’s most volatile business environments, Dangote weathered every storm:
Economic Instability: From inflation to power shortages, he adapted and persisted.

Global Competition: He built businesses that could go toe-to-toe with international brands.

Bold Risks:
He invested over $20 billion into Africa’s largest refinery, betting big on local capacity.

5 Business Lessons from Dangote’s Rise:
1. Start Small, Dream Big
He didn’t wait for millions to start. He began with trade and scaled strategically.
Lesson: Use what you have, but aim far beyond your starting point.

2. Reinvest Before You Reward Yourself
Instead of splurging, Dangote poured profits back into the business.
Lesson: Grow your assets before your lifestyle.

3. Solve Local Problems
He noticed Nigeria was importing what it could easily produce and changed that.
Lesson: Find the gap in your market and fill it.

4. Stay Consistent Through Chaos
Whether it was currency crashes or market shocks, he never lost focus.
Lesson: Real resilience is measured in tough times.

5. Build Beyond Yourself
His ventures fuel local economies in energy, agriculture, and industry.
Lesson: Profit is good, but legacy is better.

“Don’t kill your dreams with small thinking. Start humbly but never let your vision shrink.”
– Dr. James Makamba

The United States President Donald Trump has asked some African countries to accept deported migrants who are not Africans.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the United States sent proposals to five West African presidents, asking them to take in migrants whose home countries won’t accept them.

Nigeria has rejected the United States request, citing they have bigger problems at home.

These are not citizens of those African nations, but people the U.S. wants to offload because their home countries have refused to take them back.

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made the country’s position crystal clear: “We have enough problems of our own… We cannot accept Venezuelan deportees to Nigeria, for crying out loud,” he said.

Kenya Removes Visa Requirements for Africans and Most Caribbean Countries

Kenya has officially scrapped visa requirements for citizens of 52 African nations and most Caribbean countries. Africans can now travel to Kenya with just a passport.

The new policy eliminates the need for electronic travel authorization (eTA), visa fees, or paperwork.

Under the new directive, travelers from 52 African nations and several Caribbean states are now allowed visa-free entry into Kenya for up to 60 days. Citizens of East African Community (EAC) member states can stay for up to six months, consistent with EAC free movement protocols.

However, the visa-free policy excludes Libya and Somalia due to security concerns.
