AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

SACU Summit Pushes Industrialisation: Southern African Customs Union leaders wrapped up the 9th Summit in Cape Town, with President Cyril Ramaphosa urging member states to strengthen regional integration to withstand global economic shifts, while SACU Executive Secretary Dumsani Masilela said industrialisation and private-sector involvement are central to the bloc’s agenda and reforms. Eswatini’s Energy Relief Hope: Eswatini’s energy minister hinted fuel prices could drop in coming months after easing Middle East tensions, pointing to the need for a strategic oil reserve given the country’s limited storage. Regional Trade and Jobs: Botswana reaffirmed its commitment to regional integration as it takes over SACU chair from July 15, and Afreximbank appointed Peter Adeshola Olowononi as Southern Africa Director of Regional Operations. Local Health Investment: MTN Eswatini invested E2.2 million in the 21 Days of Y’ello Care campaign, expanding healthcare access and blood donation support in remote communities. Controversy at Home: Public outrage in Eswatini followed reports that King Mswati III granted Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo citizenship and a diplomatic passport after a private visit. Cross-border Safety: South Africa’s deputy transport minister visited Pongola to assess cross-border operations and promote road safety for hazardous goods corridors linking the region.
