Trade talks between South Africa and the United States are "very positive", and there is hope that the US congress could renew a key free trade agreement with the continent before the end of the year, South Africa's minister of International Relations and Cooperation said on Tuesday.

"Negotiations are going very well," he said of trade talks with the United States.
