AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Women’s World Cup Play-off: Banyana Banyana kept their 2027 hopes alive with a 2-1 win over Nigeria in Casablanca, booking inter-continental playoffs alongside Ghana after Thembi Kgatlana and Refiloe Jane scored, with Jane sent off late. Migration & borders: South Africa’s deportation push is being undermined by porous borders, with authorities also flagging the Electronic Travel Authorisation system rejecting thousands of fraudulent applications. Unemployment: Stats SA puts joblessness at 33.6% in Q2 2026, raising the question of who is “stealing” work as hostility toward foreign nationals intensifies. Local elections politics: The DA’s municipal manifesto promises cleaner, more professional governance and basic services, but critics say it dodges land, housing, food security and gender equity. Water & infrastructure: Aquazania expands with “Aquazania in a Box,” a containerised purification and bottling unit aimed at faster regional rollout. SANBI backlog: Kirstenbosch and other SANBI gardens face a projected R839m infrastructure backlog by 2029/30. Women’s Month/GBV: Activists say nine months after GBVF was declared a National Disaster, women—especially in informal settlements—still face violence and insecurity. Business & tech: Netstar turns to AI to regain ground in vehicle tracking, while Standard Bank reports a record R26bn interim profit and R15bn dividends. Media industry: South African journalism faces an existential crisis as retrenchments hit eNCA and Media24 restructures.
