AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Weather Recovery: Western Cape’s key routes like the N1 and N2 are back open after severe storms, with about 62% of affected areas reconnected and Eskom working to restore damaged high-voltage infrastructure. Courtroom Shock: “Fixer” Brown Mogotsi remains in custody after a Johannesburg court postponed his case to 25 May; he says he’ll sue the state over his arrest tied to an alleged staged assassination attempt. Electricity Reality Check: Eskom’s 365 days without load shedding is being celebrated, but South Africans warn the next crisis is electricity prices and ongoing “load reduction” in some communities. Fuel Pain, Brief Relief: A temporary fuel levy cut is ending, so motorists may see relief fade even as recent price recoveries look steadier. Gauteng Water Crisis: The SA Human Rights Commission is set to investigate Gauteng’s recurring water outages and poor quality, after the province admitted it can’t set a clear end date. Local Business Pressure: The R500m spaza fund has disbursed under R44m to fewer than 10% of targeted shops, sparking calls for transparency. Regional Health Alert: WHO declared an international health emergency over a rare Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda.
