AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Port & Rail Logistics Reset: Durban’s port congestion is easing (queues down from 17–20 ships in 2023 to about six by March 2026) as Transnet’s 25-year deal with International Container Terminal Services brings R11bn investment and boosts capacity from 2m to 2.8m containers; Richards Bay is also moving with coal exports running at a 60m tonnes annualised rate and Transnet seeking private partners to lift dry-bulk capacity by 45% (18.5m to nearly 27m tonnes). Metro Accountability Push: National Treasury’s Metro Trading Services Reform (MTSR) is a R54bn, six-year performance-linked plan aimed at stopping the “death spiral” of falling metro revenue and failing infrastructure by creating clearer accountability for electricity, water, sanitation and waste. Mandela Day Water Delivery: South Africa launched Mandela Day Water Services projects and an acceleration programme for unserved communities, framing clean, reliable water as a dignity and human-right issue. Digital Inclusion via Payments & Recycling: A new South African initiative wants to integrate waste pickers into the formal recycling economy using registration, digital payments and producer responsibility funding, starting with 10,000 reclaimers. AI & Data Centres Scrutiny: Data centre growth tied to AI is colliding with energy, water and community concerns, pushing operators toward stronger sustainability plans and transparency. Geospatial Tech for Governance: BRICS geospatial experts are meeting in India to discuss satellite mapping for disaster response, agriculture, urban planning and climate resilience.
