AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Orthodox Church Tensions: The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria calls Russia’s new Africa office an “immoral invasion,” as the Russian Orthodox Church expands its reach across the continent amid the Ukraine war. Diplomatic Fallout: South Africa recalls its envoy to India, Anil Sooklal, for consultations after he was photographed with Jacob Zuma and Ajay Gupta, while DIRCO proposes tighter rules for former presidents’ foreign travel. Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry: The All Blacks open their South Africa tour against the Stormers in Cape Town, but ticket sales are reportedly weak and prices may be out of reach for many local fans. Tourism Watch: Despite anti-foreigner protests, South Africa recorded 5.5 million international arrivals in the first half of 2026, with arrivals up 12.3% year-on-year. Food Security Pressure: El Niño risks and fertiliser disruptions linked to Gulf conflict raise alarm for African food security, with South Africa’s coal-heavy economy and unemployment adding strain. Crime and Justice: A Soweto nursing student died at Chris Hani Baragwanath Nursing College and SAPS has launched an investigation; meanwhile artist Zwelethu Mthethwa was paroled after serving half his sentence. Business and Connectivity: Emirates and South African Airways expand their codeshare to nine more cities, boosting links across southern and central Africa.
