AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Eskom Fact-Check: Eskom has corrected Daily Investor’s claim that it spent R12.81bn on diesel in FY2026, saying the report wrongly treated the approved budget as actual spend; Eskom says actual open-cycle gas turbine diesel-related expenditure totalled R7.1bn, with OCGT load factors far lower than assumed and reliability improving. Clean Air & E-waste: Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment led South Africa’s International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies with a community dialogue and e-waste collection drive in Tshwane, tackling illegal dumping and open burning. Rugby & Heritage: Captain Siya Kolisi urged the Springboks to draw on Soweto’s legacy as they face the All Blacks in Soweto, linking the match to the history of the 1976 uprising. Weather Watch: Severe thunderstorms are forecast across parts of the country, with damaging winds and hail possible in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, and major lightning/flooding risks in the Northern Cape and North West. Local Crime Data: Police stations including Chatsworth, Verulam and Phoenix ranked among the highest for contact crimes in the first quarter of 2026/27, highlighting ongoing pressure on policing resources. Tourism & Culture: Africa’s tourism leaders gathered in Polokwane for the Africa Tourism Leadership Forum, with delegates from dozens of countries discussing how to grow cooperation and investment.
