AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Cape Town Tourism Numbers: Cape Town’s tourism economy stayed strong in 2025, pulling in R24.5bn in direct visitor spend and supporting 106,000+ jobs—but the story splits: foreign spend rose while domestic spend fell as locals stayed shorter and spent less. Malawi Repatriation Crisis: In Durban, stranded Malawians at Sherwood Community Hall are pushing back on slow processing, while Malawi launches a global fundraising appeal to evacuate about 10,000 people from South Africa amid fears of anti-immigrant violence. Youth Day & Jobs: As South Africa marks 50 years since the Soweto Uprising, youth voices highlight that the fight for opportunity continues, with unemployment still biting hard. Travel Safety & Transport: SANTACO warns that immigration protests could disrupt public transport and hurt the economy. Local Travel Context: Gauteng is flagged as South Africa’s kidnapping hotspot, with Alexandra also named a carjacking hotspot—useful reminders for travellers planning road trips. Food & Leisure: KFC is rolling out a global brand refresh focused on dipping, dunking and a big sauce “pantry,” including in South Africa.
