Gerhard Papenfus with Jeremy Maggs on Moneyweb: Apart from AMSA and the Government, Everybody loses.

Government says steel tariffs protect local industry.

Gerhard Papenfus says they are destroying it. In this Moneyweb interview, the Chief Executive of NEASA argues that South Africans are being forced to pay inflated steel prices to keep AMSA alive — while downstream manufacturers collapse, exports disappear, and jobs are lost.

Every tariff forces manufacturers, builders, engineers, and ultimately consumers to pay inflated prices for steel.

South Africans are left carrying the cost.

If cheaper, good-quality steel exists globally, why are YOU being punished for using it?
