AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Tembisa Hospital whistleblower case: A suspect linked to the R635m Tembisa Hospital procurement corruption scandal was arrested at OR Tambo, offering fresh hope for justice for Babita Deokaran, who was murdered after exposing suspicious payments. Local elections politics: The ANC has removed more than 350 councillor candidates from its lists after last-minute vetting flagged criminal records and missing qualifications, as the party races to meet IEC deadlines. TRC legal fight: The Constitutional Court is set to rule on whether Justice Sisi Khampepe can remain chair of the TRC cases inquiry, in a bid by former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki to have her removed. Crime and security: Major airports and air-cargo facilities have been flagged as organised-crime priority areas after parliamentary questions, amid major drug seizures including cocaine at OR Tambo. Fuel pressure: South Africans are bracing for September fuel price hikes after new figures pointed to under-recovery across main fuel types. Xenophobia fallout: Akwa Ibom indigenes in South Africa have appealed for emergency assistance after displacement and losses tied to xenophobic violence. Business-government legitimacy: A business-government partnership risks losing credibility as it moves into its third phase, with progress on key growth blockers still slow.
