Last update: 9 hours ago

BRICS Sports Diplomacy: BRICS sports ministers meeting in Visakhapatnam ended with a unanimous joint declaration, with India pushing for a “BRICS Sporting Partnership” beyond statements, including athlete exchanges and sports-science sharing. Energy & Industry Dealmaking: ADNOC Distribution is lining up a South Africa downstream move, partnering with Reatile Group as a local empowerment stake-holder in its proposed Shell Downstream South Africa acquisition, expected to take effect in 2027. Transport Regulation: Gauteng has started registering e-hailing drivers on GIPTAS, requiring key licensing and vehicle details to formalise the fast-growing sector. Security & Compliance: Police seized 100 firearms and ammunition from a Soweto security company during a Firearms Control Act compliance inspection after PSiRA accreditation was suspended. Mining Governance: Ndifuna Ukwazi is challenging the eviction of 161 people from Transnet land, arguing courts didn’t properly consider homelessness risks for vulnerable occupiers. Last-mile Gas Innovation: FasterCapital selected SibanyeGas for EquityPilot to refine its mobile-first gas delivery app, targeting unreliable supply and unclear pricing in underserved communities. Luxury Wealth Watch: Johann Rupert’s fortune jumped about $1.3bn in 2026 as Richemont’s Cartier-led jewellery surge lifts his holdings.
