AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Housing & Courts: South Africa’s Constitutional Court ruled the sale of the Tafelberg site in Sea Point unlawful, citing failures by the Western Cape and City of Cape Town to meet housing obligations—setting up fresh reporting and pressure on affordable housing delivery. Tourism Growth: International tourist arrivals rose 12.8% to 4.22 million in Jan–May 2026, with Africa and Europe leading gains and May arrivals up 7.2% year-on-year. Border & Travel Rules: SARS made the online traveller declaration compulsory from 1 July, requiring most travellers (with limited transit exemptions) to submit within 24 hours before departure. Road Safety: A bus overturned on the N1 near Touws River, killing 15 (including three children) with more injured; earlier, another N1 crash near Beitbridge also caused fatalities—highlighting ongoing travel risks. SASSA Payments: July grant payments begin with Older Persons Grant on 2 July, then children’s grants from 6 July; SASSA urges checking balances and using e-Life certification. Wildlife Crime: Poachers were convicted after an N8 U-turn led police to kudu carcasses, with court action under nature conservation laws. Travel Inspiration: The Garden Route is being pushed as a top winter road-trip, with quieter hikes and misty forest scenery.
