Last update: 3 hours ago

Electricity Reform & Tariffs: South Africa’s Energy Council argues tariffs are the “rules of engagement” for the shift to a competitive power market, saying they must fully and sustainably recover system and network costs while keeping subsidies transparent and affordability protected. SME Hiring Pressure: South African SMEs are rethinking hiring as unemployment stays high and operating costs rise, with owners weighing permanent staff versus contractors to stay resilient. Lagos Creative Economy Boost: Lagos State says it has empowered 1,000+ creatives through the Skill Up Lagos initiative, building skills, visibility and livelihoods for emerging artists and cultural entrepreneurs. Ghana E-Visa Push: Ghana launches a new e-visa portal and offers fee waivers for African business and tourism travellers, aiming to make the country a faster, more attractive West Africa gateway. Contract Cancellation Rights (SA): A legal explainer outlines how South African consumers and small businesses can cancel contracts under the Consumer Protection Act, including cooling-off and early termination rules. Internet Access (Iran): Iran partially restores internet after an 88-day shutdown, though restrictions and manipulation concerns remain. Business Power Woes (Nigeria): Small businesses in Nigeria’s FCT report collapsing operations from erratic electricity and costly generator fuel.
