133erJOHANNESBURG: South Africa's trade deficit widened sharply in September on a big fall of the export of metals and other mining products, the South African Revenue Service said.

 

Amid rolling mine strikes exports of base metals slumped nine percent and mineral exports fell by four percent to push outgoing trade down by a total of 7.7 percent.
