AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Electronic Travel Authorisation: President Cyril Ramaphosa will officially launch South Africa’s new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) at OR Tambo on 12 August, aiming to speed up entry with online applications and biometric checks. Long-weekend road disruption: The N3 Toll Route is warning of heavier traffic from Friday midday, lane closures near key construction sections, and rapidly changing winter weather that could slow trips. Cold front + snow risk: SAWS says Women’s Day weekend could bring very cold, wet, windy conditions and snow over mountainous areas, with possible knock-on effects for travel plans. Air connectivity boost: South African Airways and Emirates have expanded their reciprocal codeshare, adding nine more routes (including more domestic and regional links). Tourism in the spotlight: Soweto Travel Shop founder Mel Tlhapi is using township tourism to create jobs and empower women, turning local stories into visitor experiences. Safety alert (Durban): Residents report a bullet lodged in a car after shots fired in Cato Manor, prompting renewed calls for vigilance. Grants update: SASSA says grants under review will be paid on Friday 7 August, with beneficiaries urged to respond to review requests.
