AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

SACU Industrial Push: Heads of SACU agreed to set up a Regional Innovative Funding Mechanism with an initial N$5 billion (R5 billion) to back cross-border industrial and infrastructure projects across all five member states, with governance work now underway. Regional Trade & Customs: SACU leaders also reaffirmed the union’s industrialisation and export promotion agenda, while Lesotho’s Revenue Services urged traders and commuters to comply with customs declarations, highlighting its Authorised Economic Operator programme to speed clearance and boost Lesotho’s SACU revenue share. Lesotho–South Africa Tensions: Lesotho’s foreign affairs minister Limpho Tau told South Africa it has a moral obligation to help address poverty linked to land dispossession, migrant labour and apartheid-era raids, ahead of the 30 June anti-immigration protests. Immigration Pressure on Business: In South Africa, June 30 unrest is already hitting township tourism bookings, with cancellations and revenue losses reported as visitors lose confidence. Agriculture Finance: Lesotho Post Bank encouraged Berea farmers to use its tractor financing promotion, saying uptake remains low despite government support. Energy, Water & Industry Risk: A Carte Blanche investigation links rising temperatures and strained water systems to fears of a “Day Zero” scenario for the Vaal–Lesotho water system, underscoring supply risks for industry and households. Afreximbank Leadership: Afreximbank appointed Peter Adeshola Olowononi as Southern Africa Director of Regional Operations, signalling renewed focus on regional financing.
