Minister Rob Davies said the DRC, with a domestic market estimated at 77 million people and bordered by nine countries with a potential market of 200 million consumers, is a strategic market for South Africa.

“Currently, South Africa is the DRC’s number one import source in the world at 21.40%. Total trade between South Africa and DRC is reflective of the regional trend that continues to characterise SA’s trade with African countries.

“There is considerable growth in both exports and imports, however South Africa continues to dominate the terms of trade between the two countries,” he said on Wednesday.
