AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Tourism Growth Despite Xenophobia: South Africa’s visitor numbers kept climbing even as anti-foreigner protests and concerns about immigration continue—Stats SA reports 5.5+ million international arrivals in Jan–Jun 2026, up 12.3% year-on-year, with June alone at 823,365 (+9.8%), driven largely by arrivals from Africa. Weather Watch: SAWS has issued a long-weekend cold-front warning for Aug 9–10, with cold, wet and windy conditions, rough seas, and possible snow in Western/Northern Cape mountains before the system spreads east. Air Connectivity Boost: Emirates and SAA expanded their codeshare, adding nine destinations (including new links via Johannesburg to Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth, plus regional cities like Harare and Victoria Falls). City Food Buzz: Johannesburg ranked 8th globally for street food in Time Out’s 2026 list—another win for travel experiences beyond big-ticket attractions. Policy/Policing: Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says metro police investigations can’t be expanded under the Constitution, pushing the debate back to governance and legal alignment.
