AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Agriculture: Lesotho is developing an AI chatbot to give farmers practical advice, while recent crop losses have renewed calls for insurance to protect smallholders from extreme weather. Mineworkers: A government outreach campaign running until October 30 is helping former and current workers claim unpaid benefits, open bank accounts and avoid fraudsters. Water Infrastructure: Residents near the Polihali tunnel works say foamy wastewater has entered the Sekoai River; the concern follows an earlier suspension of the contractor over pollution. Transport: Local fuel hauliers allege oil companies are using the pricing system in ways that squeeze domestic operators, with one firm reporting steep losses. Creative Industries: Basotho designer Thabo Makhetha-Kwinana is bringing Basotho blanket heritage to contemporary fashion, showcasing a new collection at South African Fashion Week.
