AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Cost-of-living squeeze: The Competition Commission warns electricity, water and fuel costs are rising faster than inflation, with “rocket and feather” pricing concerns in food markets as transport and Middle East-linked oil shocks feed into everyday prices. Anti-corruption in focus: Former Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa‑Nqakula is set to learn her fate on Monday in her corruption discharge bid in the Pretoria High Court, while the DA weighs in on IDAC’s acting head appointment, arguing acting leadership must be brief. Local election machinery: The IEC sets fresh nomination deadlines for municipal polls, with parties facing checks over identity documents and multiple nominations ahead of candidate list publication. Municipal finances debate: Johannesburg’s spending growth is outpacing its weak economic base, reigniting calls to rethink how the metro is run. Weather disruption: SAWS issues an Orange Level 5 severe storm warning for Gauteng as flooding and flight diversions hit Johannesburg. Transport and trade resilience: Transnet weighs wind shields to protect Port of Cape Town export operations, and Freeport Saldanha’s SEZ unlocks R4bn investment after a legal deadlock is resolved. Sports politics: Australia names Marnus Labuschagne in its Test squad for the October tour of South Africa.
