Xenophobia Pressure Point: The AU and regional partners are weighing in as xenophobic violence continues to shape diplomatic and public debate across borders. Communications Costs Scrutiny: Government is set to launch a market analysis into why data and voice remain expensive, aiming at tougher pricing interventions. Electricity Reform Draft: Cabinet approved a draft policy to reshape electricity pricing and push SA toward a more competitive energy market, with major knock-on effects for municipalities. Competition Commission Probe: The Competition Commission is investigating whether Premier’s planned closure of a fruit canning factory breaches merger conditions tied to job protection. Mining Safety Reset: Mine regulators and operators are responding to a rise in fatalities and serious incidents, including a temporary production halt for a safety reset at Impala Rustenburg. Tourism Growth: International tourist arrivals rose 12.3% in the first half of 2026, with stronger regional and overseas demand supporting recovery. NEF Fundraising Push: The National Empowerment Fund is seeking new fundraising partners, including wealthy individuals and family offices, to expand black economic participation.
