AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Port Performance: The World Bank and S&P Global’s Container Port Performance Index ranks the Port of Cape Town the worst container port globally (400th), pointing to slow ship turnaround and raising fresh pressure on Transnet and port operators to fix logistics efficiency. Energy & Credit: Fitch upgrades Eskom to B+ and the broader reform story gets a boost, but analysts warn growth risks remain and households still face cost-of-living pressure. Immigration & Business Impact: Xenophobia fears are spilling into the economy, with reports of artists losing international gigs and workers protesting that anti-immigrant crackdowns are already hurting sectors that rely on foreign skills. Legal & Housing: A court blocks further demolitions at Ekurhuleni’s N12 settlement after evictions were ruled akin to apartheid-era practices, forcing temporary accommodation while legality is reviewed. Trade & Industry: Itac recommends safeguard duties on corrosion-resistant steel coil imports, aiming to protect local industry and downstream manufacturers. Retail Growth: Shoprite beats its store-opening targets, expanding supermarkets and new formats, while continuing investment in logistics and digital. Corporate Governance & AI: Business leaders are urged to test AI governance beyond hype, focusing on skills, measurable value and board oversight.
