AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Security and Xenophobia: President Cyril Ramaphosa has authorised 510 soldiers to support police in KwaZulu-Natal amid anti-migrant protests and violence fuelled by misinformation about an asylum ruling. The deployment runs through November and is expected to cost R34 million. Election Watch: With local polls on 4 November, surveys point to continued coalition rule in Johannesburg and Tshwane; the MK Party is tipped to lead in eThekwini. Cape Town’s DA mayor is warning that smaller-party votes could threaten its majority. Election Disinformation: A News24 test found AI tools could generate convincing fake campaign images and smear material in minutes, raising concerns about voter manipulation ahead of polling day. Public Finances: Ramaphosa says South Africa’s public debt has stabilised, as the government highlights improved finances and identified savings.
