- Description
- Over the years, Zimbabwe has arbitrarily enforced trade restrictive measures including mandatory inspections on certain products, duty increases, surtaxes and import permits on basic products such as cooking oil. The measures have been allegedly targeting goods from South Africa. Amongst the most recent restrictive measures imposed by Zimbabwe is SI 64 of 2016 that now operates as SI 122 of 2017. In response to SI 64, for the first time, South Africa threatened retaliation. As a result, there is visible trade tension between Zimbabwe and South Africa. With the absence of an effective dispute settlement mechanism within SADC, or most African Regional Economic Communities RECs for that matter, a WTO approach to the issue will provide valuable insights on how else South Africa (and other African countries) can deal with cross-border trade problems such as the ones posed by SI 64.
