AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

PIC governance shake-up: South Africa’s Cabinet moved fast to stabilise the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) after resignations and governance turmoil, appointing Deputy Minister Seiso Mohai as chair and naming eight non-executive directors, with the PIC acting CEO saying the priority is restoring oversight and public trust. Local governance and jobs: Eswatini’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade says the E50m Lituba development in Mbabane is on track, targeting completion in October 2026 and creating about 550 jobs, while urging tinkhundla to help identify land for industrial use. Health and nutrition policy: Government opened validation of the National Food and Nutrition Policy 2026–2035 and a Nutrition Bill, citing a triple burden—rising obesity and anaemia alongside undernutrition—and warning of major economic costs from child undernutrition. Anti-trafficking network growth: Talitha Kum, a nun-led anti-trafficking network, reported reaching 1.21 million people in 2025 and expanding into Malawi, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini. Justice system pressure: CANGO called for stronger harmony between the judiciary and executive, warning that court backlogs, appointment opacity and prolonged acting roles are eroding confidence. El Niño preparedness: Agriculture Minister Mandla Tshawuka told MPs the country is monitoring forecasts and preparing support measures, with projections now closer to the 2018 El Niño pattern.
