These opportunities will be at the centre of the Carbon Markets Africa Summit (CMAS) 2026, taking place from 13 to 15 October 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda. Policymakers, investors, carbon project developers, corporate buyers and market leaders from across Africa and around the world will come together to explore how high-integrity carbon markets can support investment and sustainable development across the continent.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Most people look at rising vacancies and see a weak property market. Samuel Theu, National Property Manager at Atlas Finance, sees negotiating power. After spending years on the landlord side of the table at Growthpoint and City Property, Theu made the move almost a year ago to representing a national tenant. The shift has given him a rare advantage: understanding exactly how landlords assess vacancies, what concessions they are willing to make and importantly, what makes an occupier genuinely valuable.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[For Alison Johnston, Managing Director of DomusTech Services and former Managing Director of Tactile Technologies, success is measured not only by what you do with the opportunities you are given, but by what you do to create opportunities for others. That outlook has been shaped by her own career and, in turn, has influenced how she thinks about skills development and the responsibility businesses have to help people realise their potential. Johnston has never waited until she felt completely ready before taking on a new challenge. Instead, she has built her career by stepping forward, learning as she went and deliberately expanding her skills and responsibilities.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Construction is no longer an industry where women have to wait for a place to be made for them. It is an industry where they can shape decisions, influence outcomes and help define the future of the sector,” says Lisa Ker, Group Supply Chain Manager at M&D Construction. For Lisa, the growing presence of women in construction cannot simply be measured by how many women have entered an industry that was historically dominated by men. “The real value lies in creating an industry where people with different experiences, perspectives and approaches can contribute and influence how it develops,” she says.]]></description>

While engines often receive the most attention, the performance of transmissions, hydraulic systems, cooling circuits and grease-lubricated components can have just as much influence on equipment availability, maintenance costs and overall operational efficiency. A modern mining machine is a collection of interconnected systems working together under demanding conditions. Haul trucks, excavators, loaders and support equipment rely on a combination of engine oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic oils, coolants and greases to operate reliably day after day.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[With fierce competition globally for investment capital, independent due diligence is essential for the credible and accurate valuation of mineral assets – even when not formally required by stock exchanges or lenders. Sound valuation is a cornerstone of responsible mining investment, and is far more than a financial exercise. It is a comprehensive assessment that combines technical, commercial and economic data to realistically estimate a project’s value at a certain point in time. When supported by rigorous due diligence and multidisciplinary technical review, valuation provides confidence that investment decisions are based on sound evidence rather than optimism or assumption.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Recent calls to ban plastic carrier bags or replace them with paper overlook an important reality: South Africa is less than five months away from a significant circular-economy milestone that will require compliant plastic carrier and flat bags to contain 100% post-consumer recyclate from 1 January 2027. According to Anton Hanekom, Executive Director of Plastics SA, abandoning plastic carrier bags now would undermine years of investment in recycling and market development at precisely the point when South Africa is positioned to close the loop.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mines are heavy power consumers. While that primarily stems from heavy industrial machinery and equipment across vast sites, a growing portion relates to the digital side of mining. Supporting automation, sensors, and data processing requires a growing share of mining power, either directly from facilities owned by the business, or indirectly through partners that provide technology facilities such as data centres. The ability to power digital infrastructure is particularly important in sub-Saharan Africa, says Louis Kotze, Executive for Generator Sets at WEG Africa.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South African manufacturers and distributors are capturing a growing share of continental healthcare demand, with African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) reshaping how countries buy essential healthcare products and the African Pooled Procurement Mechanism (APPM) moving from policy to implementation. In February 2026, African Union (AU) leaders committed to fully operationalising APPM as a strategic "Buy African" initiative through demand aggregation[1], market shaping and long-term offtake arrangements, By May, the Africa CDC had completed its first APPM tender across 10 AU Member States, securing 30–90% lower prices and involving African manufacturers in five of the 10 products tendered[2]. In June, Egypt became the first AU Member State to formally join APPM and agreed to host its operational headquarters[3], underlining the mechanism’s shift to continent-wide deployment.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most polarising topics in science and industry. While some see it as the future, others remain unconvinced, questioning whether a technology built on algorithms can really contribute to something as complex as understanding the Earth's subsurface. For geophysicists, however, the conversation is shifting. Rather than replacing scientists, AI is emerging as a powerful new tool that is helping geophysicists make sense of vast amounts of data, uncover previously overlooked patterns and tackle some of society’s biggest challenges, from discovering the critical minerals needed for the energy transition to locating groundwater resources and improving environmental management.]]></description>

The report also identifies municipal arrears to Eskom as a threat to the sustainability of the broader electricity sector. But while restructuring can change how electricity is traded, administered and financed, it cannot by itself address the physical condition of the infrastructure that delivers electricity to customers.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When organisations undergo transformation, the workplace often becomes the most visible expression of that change. For global brands, headquarters are no longer simply places where people work. They are environments that shape organisational culture, encourage collaboration and reinforce the values that employees experience every day. As hybrid working models continue to evolve, creating workplaces that people genuinely want to spend time in has become a strategic business priority. For PepsiCo South Africa, establishing its new 5 000 m² headquarters at Parc du Cap in Cape Town presented an opportunity to create a workplace that reflected the energy, innovation and collaborative culture of one of the world’s leading food and beverage companies.]]></description>

With the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure allocated R7.8 billion in 2026/27 and R24.6 billion over the medium term (SA Government News), it will continue to play a major role in shaping infrastructure delivery, skills development and competitiveness in the building industry. However, beyond delivering infrastructure, public procurement drives economic growth, supports jobs and strengthens industries.

In 2005, she became one of the first South African women to join Red Graniti, a leading participant in the local granite industry and a global supplier of premium dimension stone, at a time when few women were given opportunities in the country’s dimension stone sector. Through perseverance, hard work and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning, Dorah has built a career that is redefining what is possible for women in mining.]]></description>

            <link>https://www.miningweekly.com/article/weba-chute-systems-grounded-approach-to-dem-in-chute-design-2026-08-18</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Across the global mining sector, Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation has become a standard feature of transfer chute design. But according to Weba Chute Systems, the danger lies in confusing a verification tool with a complete design methodology. “Across the industry, the use of DEM has become mainstream,” says Mark Baller, Managing Director of Weba Chute Systems. “Where we differ is in how the chute is engineered. While DEM software is often used to model material flow, it is fundamentally a simulation and verification tool rather than a design tool. DEM can validate and optimise a chute design by analysing how material behaves within it but the engineering design itself must first be developed using sound design principles and application expertise.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We tend to judge a development by what happens within its boundaries. But that is not necessarily how the people using it experience it. A route that feels perfectly ordinary at lunchtime can feel very different after dark if the lighting is poor, visibility is limited, or the walk to public transport is isolated. A parking area, pedestrian crossing, or transport stop might seem like a relatively small part of a development, but for someone using that development every day, it can make an enormous difference.]]></description>
