AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Workforce Pressure: More than 300,000 people registered for just 5,500 South African police trainee posts, highlighting fierce competition for formal work. South African Airways also delayed salaries despite a state guarantee. Job Security: Pick n Pay dropped proposed cuts of 22,000 jobs after reaching an agreement with SACCAWU. Skills and Inclusion: Calls to make South Africa’s AI strategy pro-employment and review Nigeria’s curriculum for digital careers underscore the need to link training with changing work. In South Africa, MetroFibre celebrated 17 learnership graduates, while stakeholders urged employers to introduce menopause support policies. Decent Work: West African unions are seeking 5% of national income for social protection, as Africa’s 84.4% informal employment rate highlights the challenge of creating secure, quality jobs.
