Is the South African government expected to issue a formal response to the U.S. government's demands by the 9th of July deadline?

Demands have been issued? If you mean the spin by those right-wingers who went there and met with some inconsequential congress men then, no. It is not a US government demand, it is what the right-wingers say was demanded.

9 July is the official deadline that tariffs were suspended until. For everyone, not just us...

I'm only going by what I read in the news. I guess we will know after 9 July.
 
It is the DA who sabotaged Whitfield by sending him on an approved trip, they could have sent Msimanga, they could have sent Winde, but they chose him because someone in the DA set a trap for him, knowing fully well they are not used to cabinet protocols.

Don't sigh. Why shouldn't the DA use the Constitutional means they have because "muh Cabinet"?

They should, it's a free country, we encourage them to use all the democratic and constitutional resources at their disposal, even the idle threats, it makes them look dangerous.

Well he clearly does, but he doesn't make decisions quickly you know, he carefully considers things for months and then fscks it up anyway.

No, no. When it comes to ANC interest, he is blazing fast.

Everything else? 2 years minimum to appoint a task team.

Ah okay, I think the suspension was for everyone to go prostrate themselves in front of the orange one with (trade) offerings? If your offerings aren't ready or desirable then you get whacked. Unless he changes his mind. Again.

Have no fear and trust in the strong muthi Cyril left at the white house that is making Trump fight with his BFF Musk.

Well there's no political solution when the president acts as dictator, backed by his party. As well as all those smaller parties singing for their supper. This is a constitutional mechanism that anyone can use. The courts will decide who's right...

If you can't work with your coalition partner politically then you leave the coalition. It is no longer coalition when the other party ignores your input and you have to act like an opposition. May as well go be real opposition.

Then why hasn't the ANC left the coalition since it seems they are unable to work with their partner.
