In June $2019$ the manufacturing industry in South Africa sold goods to the value of R$203\mathrm{.}7$ billion compared to South

Africa's total imports of R $103754352076.$ Thus the manufacturing to total imports ratio is currently sitting at $(1\mathrm{.}97).$ So

basically for every R$1$ in goods manufactured locally, $50\mathrm{.}7$c is imported
