AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 minutes ago

Eskom vs Joburg: Johannesburg mayor Dada Morero says the city will not “pull the plug” on its own lights—despite Eskom’s threat to cut supply over more than R5.2bn in arrears—insisting Eskom will not plunge the metro into darkness and that the focus is on paying what’s owed. Parliament Tension: The ATM’s no-confidence motion against President Cyril Ramaphosa was rejected by Speaker Thoko Didiza, who says Parliament is already set to refer the matter to an impeachment committee after the Phala Phala court ruling. Crime & Governance: Morero also says he’s awaiting a report on kidnapping allegations involving Joburg MMC Nomoya Mnisi, while the ANC urges law enforcement to act without fear. Public Safety & Health: South Africa’s hantavirus alert is being discussed after a UK-triggered WHO notification, and WHO warns Ebola in Congo likely started months ago and is expected to grow. Sport Backlash: Cricket South Africa faces fresh anger after Newlands New Year Test tickets sold out fast, with critics pointing to heavy pre-allocation to packages and hospitality.
