            <description><![CDATA[I do not think most organisations are ignoring email security. They have filters, policies, awareness training, endpoint protection, and often a secure email gateway that has been in place for years. Attackers know how those controls work. Their methods increasingly target the gaps around the inspection point. A message may arrive from a compromised account or hide its destination inside a QR code embedded in an image or PDF. Once it reaches the inbox, the user may scan that code on a personal phone and continue beyond the controls protecting the corporate device.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The conversation around affordable public transport often starts with what commuters pay to get from A to B. But for the taxi and bus operators providing those journeys, affordability has to be balanced against the cost of keeping a transport business operational. This Transport Month, CTU is taking that conversation directly to the industry through its participation in the SANTACO Roadshows, using the engagement as an opportunity to hear from operators about the pressures shaping their businesses and what is needed to keep them sustainable.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As operating costs rise and supply chains face mounting pressure, October Transport Month highlights a critical question: what will it take to keep South Africa moving reliably? South Africa’s transport challenge is not simply about infrastructure. It is about performance. Statistics South Africa reported that rail payload fell by 2.7% in the second quarter of 2026, while road payload increased by 5.4%. Meanwhile, the Ctrack Transport & Freight Index declined by 3.3% over the same quarter, reflecting pressure across the logistics sector. For businesses, reliability affects productivity and competitiveness. For consumers, it matters because the supply chains behind everyday goods depend on transport that works.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This year's Global Ethics Day carried the theme “Re-centring Ethics”. For infrastructure, that means ethics at the centre of planning, procurement, operation and maintenance. With South Africa’s procurement law back on the drawing board, SAICE is inviting government, municipalities and funders into a closer partnership so that South Africa builds with integrity and its infrastructure lasts. “Ethics in infrastructure is about whether the right people, with the right skills and expertise, are entrusted to make fair and informed decisions for the good of the public. We have worked alongside successive governments, and the lesson is consistent: government sets the direction and the oversight, and engineers make sure it can be built and will last,” says Sekadi Phayane-Shakhane, SAICE CEO.]]></description>

            <link>https://www.miningweekly.com/article/strengthening-rail-networks-through-intelligent-low-voltage-infrastructure-2026-10-21</link>
            <description><![CDATA[As governments, rail operators and technology providers prepare to meet at the Southern African Railways Association (SARA) Conference from 20 to 23 October, one theme is likely to dominate discussions: how to build rail networks that are more reliable, resilient and fit for the region’s long-term economic ambitions. While investment in rolling stock and infrastructure remains essential, the performance of every modern railway also depends on an often-overlooked foundation, namely the Low-Voltage (LV) electrical systems that keep passenger stations, depots, signalling infrastructure and critical operational assets running safely and efficiently.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Not long ago, choosing a bank meant choosing a building. People picked whichever branch sat closest to home or work, trusted the manager they saw face to face, and rarely thought twice about switching. Today that calculus has been turned on its head. Distance to the nearest branch matters far less than the speed of an app, the reach of an international transfer, the ease of holding a foreign currency account, or having access to a reliable currency converter. From Proximity to Accessibility]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As South Africa marks Transport Month in October, the focus is on building a transport system that is safe, sustainable, reliable and affordable. The R573 Moloto Road Section 2 Upgrade, for which global infrastructure leader AECOM undertook design and construction monitoring services on behalf of SANRAL, illustrates how integrated transport planning can improve road safety, accessibility and mobility along a busy commuter corridor. Achieving these outcomes requires more than expanding road capacity. It means understanding how people travel, where communities are growing and how infrastructure can improve access to employment, education and essential services.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As industrial environments become more connected, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important consideration in how operational technology systems are selected, engineered and maintained. Remote access, enterprise integration, cloud connectivity and web-based interfaces have created significant opportunities for industrial organisations but have also changed the cybersecurity landscape. For supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in particular, the question is no longer simply whether appropriate security products have been installed around the automation environment. Organisations increasingly need to consider how security is incorporated into the underlying architecture itself.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Scania has officially opened its Walvis Bay dealership, marking a significant investment in its long-term commitment to Namibia and strengthening its support for customers operating across some of Southern Africa’s most important transport corridors. The opening also marks the first official launch of the Scania SUPER in the region and the introduction of the first SUPER trucks in Namibia. The new facility builds on Scania’s presence in Walvis Bay, where the branch was established in 2008 as a support point for customers operating through the port. Over time, its role has expanded to support transport operations along the Trans-Kalahari, Trans-Caprivi and Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi corridors, reinforcing the town’s importance as a strategic logistics gateway.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Today’s warehousing and logistics facilities bear little resemblance to the distribution centres of a decade ago. High-bay racking, automated storage and retrieval systems, lithium-ion powered material handling equipment, flammable packaging materials and around-the-clock operations have transformed warehouses into highly efficient logistics hubs. They have also created increasingly complex fire risks. “A warehouse fire can escalate within minutes, particularly where there is high-rack storage, combustible packaging or hazardous materials,” highlights Michael van Niekerk, CEO of ASP Fire. Beyond the immediate threat to life, businesses face operational downtime, supply chain disruption, environmental damage and potentially catastrophic financial losses.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Lifting equipment has a finite operational lifespan, and the decision to replace or modernise a crane depends largely on its mechanical, structural and foundational condition. Where the fundamental condition of the equipment remains sound, modernisation can often provide a more economical and practical alternative to complete replacement. The Konecranes Crane Reliability Study (CRS) provides a comprehensive assessment of lifting equipment, evaluating its current condition and providing a theoretical assessment of its remaining design life. The study also delivers detailed recommendations for component upgrades and modernisation.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Small and micro enterprises accounted for 55.3% of construction jobs in South Africa in 2024, up from 40.6% a decade earlier (Statistics South Africa). At the same time, the largest 100 firms' share of industry income fell from 40.0% to 26.7%, highlighting a significant shift in the structure of the construction sector that employs approximately 1.2 million people, including the building industry as a significant component (International Labour Organisation). These shifts reflect an industry that, over the past 15 years, has become increasingly reliant on subcontractors and smaller businesses to deliver projects. While this has created opportunities for enterprise development, it has also raised important questions around accountability, compliance and worker protection. For the Building Industry Bargaining Council (BIBC), the key question is simple: as contracting chains become more complex, who takes responsibility for the people doing the work?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[At the Bauli plant in Castel d’Azzano, northern Italy, a new system centralises and automates the palletising of baked goods. The technical solutions chosen by Uteco Contec combine with the reliability of Interroll’s Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP) to handle up to 2 000 product cases per hour and efficiently meet seasonal peaks. Behind every Panettone, Pandoro or Colomba cake that arrives on time at retail outlets lies an end-of-line logistics system capable of operating with speed, precision and continuity.

            <description><![CDATA[Underground mining is an inherently complex operating environment. Conditions can change rapidly and production pressures can create competing priorities. In this environment, safety cannot be treated as a separate compliance requirement. It must be embedded in the way people plan, communicate, make decisions and execute work every day. For Redpath Africa Limited, this is captured in the simple principle of ‘Safety First, Last and Always’. A strong safety culture exists when every employee and leader understands that production can never come at the expense of people.]]></description>

Yet for many entrepreneurs, the journey from starting a business to building a sustainable, competitive enterprise remains difficult. Limited access to finance, rising operating costs, unreliable energy, skills shortages and restricted access to established markets continue to constrain business growth.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Most private security companies already have plenty of technology in place. The problem is that those systems often produce separate records, making it harder to piece together what happened across a shift or incident. That becomes a real issue when a client later asks for proof of a patrol, response, or other service delivered. A security company has to keep track of a lot during an ordinary shift. It needs to know that officers are where they should be, that incidents are properly recorded and that help can be sent quickly when someone is in trouble. The record also needs to stand up later if a client, insurer or disciplinary process asks what happened.]]></description>
