AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Femicide Probe Escalates in Gauteng: Police recovered the ninth body of a woman east of Johannesburg, triggering a Kempton Park lockdown and roadblocks as investigators weigh whether the killings are linked or copycat-style. A reward of R400,000 is on offer, with the DA adding US$31,000, while authorities say they’re comparing timelines, locations and victim profiles before drawing conclusions. Ramaphosa Health Update: President Cyril Ramaphosa has been “booked off” from public engagements after falling ill following the BRICS summit; Deputy President Paul Mashatile is also resting after a medical procedure. SA-US Visa Feud: South Africa rejected new US visa restrictions aimed at officials over alleged “race-based discrimination,” saying Washington misrepresents Pretoria’s domestic policies and should engage through diplomacy. Procurement Reform Under Fire: Finance Minister Godongwana defended procurement overhaul plans after the Constitutional Court rebuked Parliament over insufficient public participation in the Public Procurement Bill. Local Elections Surge: The IEC says candidate numbers for the 2026 local government elections have jumped to 136,790, with Johannesburg set to host the most parties. Crime and Justice Abroad: A South African woman was sentenced in Nigeria to 25 years for importing 5.75kg of heroin.
