Kenya’s President Ruto and South Africa’s President Ramaphosa held formal talks today and oversaw the signing of new agreements. They also opened a business forum aimed at boosting trade between two of Africa’s biggest economies.
Both sides want to upgrade their relationship to a full “strategic partnership.” It comes as Africa’s overall growth holds firm for 2026, even though South Africa’s own economy lags well behind.
Today’s Africa Intelligence Brief covers the continent’s finance, markets, economy, and politics. We pulled it together from English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Swahili, and Afrikaans sources.
