Britain agrees post-Brexit trade deal with southern Africa

September 11, 2019 - Johannesburg, South Africa, Africa - Britain has agreed a deal with six southern African countries including South Africa, the continent's most developed economy, that will ensure the continuity of trade conditions following Brexit, the High Commission in South Africa said. Political turmoil in the United Kingdom has generated uncertainty over how, when and even if the country will withdraw from the European Union. But while the situation has left the future trade relationship between Britain and the European bloc in doubt, British authorities have been working to minimise the impact of Brexit on other trading partners.
