SOUTH AFRICA’S TRADE SURPLUS IS A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE AND A SIGN OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY
The South African Government has achieved a major milestone, a R21.7 billion trade surplus for September 2025, as reported by SARS. This is more than a number; it’s a signal that our economy is turning a corner and beginning to lift all South Africans. Exports rose to R186.4 billion, while imports fell to R164.6 billion, driven by stronger performance in gold, platinum, and vehicle exports.
This success reflects the impact of the ANC-led government’s 10-Point Economic Plan, championed by President Cyril Ramaphosa. A growing trade surplus means more jobs in factories, mines, and industries and more funds for homes, schools, clinics, and services. It is a sign of resilience, stability, and the tangible return of the ANC’s commitment to a better life for all.
This progress strengthens the rand, helps fight inflation, and attracts investment. We call on the private sector to continue partnering with government to sustain this growth and ensure that our economy’s momentum benefits every citizen.
The ANC’s economic plan is working to: • Create jobs • Reduce the cost of living • Drive investment in infrastructure and services • Build confidence for local and global investors
This is not a moment for division but shared optimism. Together, we are building a more inclusive, prosperous, and united South Africa.
The future is being built today, a future full of promise for all.
