AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Coalition Scramble: The ANC’s local-election support fell to 32.5%, leaving it reliant on partners to govern many cities. Parties are negotiating control of 127 hung councils, with new councils due to be formed by November 26. Municipal Stakes: Mayors could earn up to R1.66 million a year as parties bargain over leadership and service-delivery roles. SASSA Shortages: R147.2 million set aside to fill 228 vacancies remains unspent, as staff shortages contribute to long queues and delays. Public Pay: President Cyril Ramaphosa approved increases of 3.5% to 4% for ministers, MPs and other public office-bearers, drawing criticism amid pressure on household budgets.
