The United States is seeking former South African president Thabo Mbeki, according to businesstech.co.za. The same outlet reports that speed cameras remain out of operation in South Africa's wealthiest city.
Both items appeared in a businesstech.co.za roundup published on Tuesday, 22 September 2026. The report did not provide further detail on the US request involving Mbeki or on the status of the camera system.
Separately, attention is turning to South Africa's interest rate decision. Bank of America expects two rate increases for the country this year, Moneyweb reports. Analysts are predicting a 25 basis point hike, according to SABC News. eNCA highlighted the figure 25 in its Number of the Day segment on 21 September 2026.
Reuters reports that the rand held steady as investors awaited inflation data and the rate decision.
The material above offers limited detail, so the specifics of the US request concerning Mbeki and the reasons the speed cameras are down remain unclear from the reporting available.
What to watch next: the Reserve Bank's rate decision and the inflation figures due alongside it, plus any further official word on the US request involving Mbeki and the restoration of the camera system.
