AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Eskom Overhaul: South Africa is moving to dismantle Eskom’s 103-year electricity monopoly, with government gazetting plans for a more competitive generation market, independent transmission management and clearer, more predictable pricing for households and businesses. Local Politics: The ANC has delayed naming single mayoral candidates for metros, instead sharing a pool of potential candidates and widening nominations ahead of the 4 November local elections. Crime: Police arrested two men over the murder of boxer Zolani Tete in Mdantsane, with investigators warning against speculation and saying more arrests may follow. Cape Town & Education: Three South African universities made the world’s top 500 in the 2026 ARWU, with UCT leading nationally (201–300), Wits next (301–400) and Stellenbosch in the 401–500 band. Science & Health: The US NIH lifted its freeze on new funding for South African research projects after a classification change, though one Fogarty processing exception remains. Business & Jobs: A new Business Rescue discussion highlights why the “reasonable prospect of rescue” test matters, warning that by the time formal rescue starts, many firms are already too far gone.
