Ramaphosa Seeks Deeper India-South Africa Ties | Johannesburg News

President Ramaphosa is rallying Indian business leaders to deepen investment in South Africa’s critical sectors—minerals, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing—with a focus on local value addition and industrial growth. Over 150 Indian firms have already poured $10 billion into SA, creating 18,000 jobs, and are now invited to join nearly 200 strategic projects valued at $100 billion, especially as rail and port systems get revitalized. Trade talks with India also aim to ease citrus export barriers within the Brics bloc, aligning with broader goals to boost regional manufacturing, secure energy supplies, and strengthen logistics. Meanwhile, Ramaphosa warns against both fearing and blindly embracing AI, urging a balanced strategy to use it for inclusive growth and tackling inequality.
