AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Local Elections & Governance: The IEC is auditing its election results system ahead of the 4 November local government vote, with ICT experts from major parties taking part; meanwhile Gauteng municipalities are signing pledges to improve audit readiness after widespread failures. Fuel Price Shock: Motorists are lining up as petrol and diesel are set to jump again at midnight, with economists warning the hit could push inflation back up and strain household budgets. Water Woes in Joburg: Johannesburg Water says erratic supply in areas like Ebony Park is linked to constrained infrastructure and illegal connections, with population growth outstripping supply. Corruption Watch: The SIU says it recovered R28.5bn in cash, assets and set-aside contracts in 2025/26, preventing potential losses. Sports & Tourism: Qatar is confirmed as an interested party for the 2036 Olympics, while Cape Town’s tourism calendar gets a boost from southern right whale season in Hermanus. Economy & Housing: FNB reports uneven housing recovery as affordability squeezes first-time buyers, even as prices and sales remain supported.
