AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Crime & State Capacity: Parliament heard fresh questions about whether SANDF deployments can curb gangs and illegal mining, after Operation Prosper failed to break gang control in crime-ravaged communities. Police Accountability: KZN Task Team killings and zero convictions are reigniting constitutional concerns about “shoot-to-kill” culture and due process. Local Government & Development: A call is growing for municipalities to become true developmental engines after 4 November, not just refuse collection and potholes. Unemployment Pressure: Stats SA’s latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey shows joblessness rising to 33.7%, deepening the political urgency around jobs. Eskom Restructuring: Ramaphosa’s push for a transmission system operator that owns the grid is colliding with warnings about sequencing and Eskom’s survival. SADC Migration Push: South Africa is pressing for a stalled free-movement migration protocol, but Zimbabwe and Mozambique resist elevating it to leaders’ level. Court & Energy: South Africa’s top court permanently halts Shell’s Wild Coast offshore exploration, a major blow to the country’s energy plans. Public Finance Watch: Pretoria’s vacant Telkom Towers complex is costing R6.8m a month, while SAPS also pays nearly R40m monthly in rentals. Regional Diplomacy: Zimbabwe challenges SADC to turn integration promises into tangible citizen benefits as South Africa takes over the bloc’s leadership.
