South Africa will host a summit in May to finalise the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol of implementation.
This after President Cyril Ramaphosa assumed his position as the chairperson of the African Union on February 9 during the 33rd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government in Ethiopia.
AfCFTA, which is due to come into effect on July 1, will create a single market across 54 nations of about 1.2 billion people with a combined gross domestic product of over US$3 trillion.
