AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Road Safety Crackdown: A bus on the N1 near Polokwane was stopped after officers found it carrying 90 people instead of its 70-passenger limit—and the passenger list only matched 25 names. Immigration Enforcement: Immigration officers said 45 passengers lacked proper documentation; legally cleared passengers will get alternative transport, while the undocumented group is being escorted back to Beitbridge for deportation proceedings as SAPS and Immigration investigate. Public Health Watch: Ebola in Congo is now treated as a WHO public health emergency, with officials saying the outbreak likely started weeks earlier and deaths have topped 100, plus cases reported in Uganda. Travel Tech Boost: South Africa is expanding its Electronic Travel Authorisation system, with ETA lanes processing travellers in under 60 seconds and broader coverage rolling out. Air Connectivity: Qatar Airways is increasing African frequencies and adding routes from mid-June, including more flights to Cape Town and Durban.
