AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 minutes ago

Local Elections Prep: The IEC opened more than 23,700 voting stations nationwide for a two-day voter registration weekend ahead of the 2026 local government elections, with early processing at about 330,000 applications and officials saying young people are leading registrations. Migration & Public Order: South Africa dismissed claims of a 30 June “leave the country” directive, saying no such order exists, while police and government messaging continues to focus on safety ahead of planned anti-foreigner protests. Health Diplomacy: The US is moving to phase out PEPFAR HIV/AIDS funding for South Africa in a “phased drawdown,” citing diplomatic disputes and policy demands, with South Africa rejecting the allegations behind the move. Home Affairs Reform: A new defence of Home Affairs’ digital transformation argues reforms are now starting to pay off after years of backlogs and document fraud risks. DA Politics: DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis defended calls to axe Steenhuisen from cabinet amid internal party anger over alleged lack of consultation. City Governance: A guide for voters stresses that accountability in municipalities depends on understanding what local government can and cannot do. Public Safety & Crime: A report on the Madlanga inquiry describes deep criminal infiltration allegations reaching into police and related entities. Culture & Loss: Tributes followed the death of jazz icon Abdullah Ibrahim, with reflections on his global impact.
