AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Local Elections: Millions voted in South Africa’s municipal polls, with the IEC reporting about 12 million ballots cast by 5pm. Counting began after stations closed. The ANC faced a major test amid anger over water, power and other failing services. Cape Town: Housing, gang violence and service delivery dominated campaign messages. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis voted in Edgemead and urged supporters to protect the DA’s city majority, while rivals called for pro-poor budgets and stronger action on crime. Trade and Jobs: Washington plans to end South Africa’s AGOA duty-free benefits from January 2027, threatening exporters and jobs. President Cyril Ramaphosa said US midterm results could offer a chance to reset strained ties. Transport: eThekwini Mayor Cyril Xaba renewed calls for a Johannesburg–Durban high-speed rail link, first proposed in 2010, saying progress is needed to improve connectivity and support growth.
