            <title>East Africa: A hub-and-spoke approach to digital infrastructure</title>

            <description><![CDATA[By Edwin Baru, Partner, Bowmans Digital growth in East Africa is shifting from a narrative around connectivity and innovation to one of compute – the processing power, networking and memory needed to carry out complex digital operations. To facilitate development in this sector, countries in the region must extend their power and water infrastructure, build heavy-duty infrastructure to house data centres and backup systems, and extend their access to high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity. To factor all these requirements into the mix, the growth of the sector in East Africa is best seen through a hub-and-spoke model, with Kenya serving as the central hub, connecting Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Approximately 94% of the UK's top 50 contractors are registered with the voluntary Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), a programme built on continuous monitoring, workforce wellbeing, community engagement and accountability. The scheme includes more than R4.759 trillion (£219 billion) of construction activity annually and conducts over 8,000 monitoring visits each year. For the Building Industry Bargaining Council (BIBC), these figures highlight an important lesson for South Africa's building industry: meaningful reform is not achieved through inspections alone, but through what happens afterwards.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In a Security Operations Centre, detection is measured by what happens after an alert appears on a screen. Many organisations now have tools that identify suspicious activity across endpoints, email, identity, networks, cloud platforms and applications. Those tools are necessary, but detection is not containment, and an alert sitting in a queue does not reduce risk. A security tool can show that a login looks unusual, a file has moved unexpectedly, a mailbox rule has changed, or an endpoint is behaving differently. It cannot decide whether the activity is a false positive, a policy issue, early compromise, or a confirmed incident.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Nearly a year after the motor industry's landmark three-year wage agreement was concluded in August 2025, its value extends well beyond annual wage increases. The agreement, which the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) described as delivering above-inflation increases for workers, continues to provide stability for employers and employees alike amid global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and ongoing market volatility.  Covering more than 300,000 workers across the automotive motor sector, according to industry reporting by NUMSA, the agreement continues to demonstrate how collective bargaining can deliver stability and certainty for both employers and employees during uncertain times.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mining in South Africa is primarily conducted through alluvial, opencast, and underground mining methods, with underground mining generally being the most capital-intensive. How often do we hear or read about accidents occurring in underground mines? When such incidents occur, they often result in injuries or fatalities involving employees and other persons working underground who become trapped or are affected by events such as explosions, fires, or flooding. Despite stringent health and safety legislation and compliance requirements within the mining industry, accidents do occur. These incidents are invariably traumatic experiences for everyone involved.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Only 18% of finance teams close their books within three business days, leaving most organisations making decisions on outdated information (Ledge's 2025 Month-End Close Benchmark Report). The implications extend well beyond the finance function. When reporting cycles lag behind business reality, decision-making across the organisation slows, reducing confidence in data accuracy and overall agility in volatile market conditions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[By early 2026, South Africa's Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) had reportedly received a significant number of crypto asset service provider licence applications — a clear sign of how quickly the country's crypto market is formalising (FSCA public records). Traders evaluating crypto exchanges in South Africa 2026 now weigh fiat on-ramp flexibility, product breadth, and onboarding speed before committing funds. Several global platforms feature in this conversation, including BYDFi, founded in 2020 and now serving over 1,000,000 registered users across 190+ countries. Other exchanges popular with South African traders include Luno (FSCA-licensed, supports ZAR deposits), VALR (headquartered in South Africa, FSCA-licensed), and Binance (the highest-volume exchange globally by reported trading volume). BYDFi lists 600+ trading pairs across spot and derivatives markets, and its interface is available in 22 languages, including an English (Africa) variant.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As winter deepens across South Africa, households are spending more time indoors, heaters are running longer, and geysers are working overtime. This increases as July school holidays approach, with families gathering at home, electricity use climbing and budgets feeling the pinch. This aligns with a national push: the month of July is recognised in South Africa as National Savings Month, a campaign that encourages households to save for financial stability. This year, energy saving is a direct form of financial saving.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As Africa races to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity to more than 600 million people without access to power, energy experts increasingly agree that the continent's future will not be powered by a single technology. Instead, success will depend on intelligently combining natural gas, renewable energy, hydropower, battery storage and existing thermal generation into integrated, flexible power systems. This critical issue will be explored in depth at the 2027 Africa Energy Indaba, taking place from 2–4 March 2027 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), where government leaders, utilities, investors, project developers and technology providers will examine how diversified energy portfolios can accelerate Africa's journey towards universal electricity access while supporting economic growth.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Researchers from the JENano Group at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) are advancing South Africa’s green hydrogen ambitions through integrated research spanning computational materials design, advanced electrode fabrication, membrane-free electrolysers, hydrogen storage and fuel-cell systems. Working with local and international partners, the group is developing technologies aimed at supporting the country’s transition to a low-carbon economy while addressing practical deployment challenges. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar and wind power. Unlike conventional hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, green hydrogen generates no carbon emissions at the point of production. It is increasingly viewed as a critical solution for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as steelmaking, chemicals, heavy transport and long-duration energy storage.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Implemented as Nordex Energy South Africa’s (NESA) economic development contribution linked to the Koruson 2 construction project, the programme was established in late 2024 to initially improve income-generating opportunities through livestock ownership, supporting participating farmers to strengthen livestock management practices and to diversify value derived from their animals.  “Livestock for Livelihoods is moving from foundational farm‑level interventions to unlocking sustainable market value for farmers,” said Robert Timmers, Managing Director of Nordex Energy South Africa. “Strengthening governance and market access, especially in the wool‑to‑textile chain, is critical to creating long‑term income opportunities, particularly for women and youth.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When the going gets tough, the pros find new business. The global solar market has experienced several major growth years, adding 618 Gigawatt peak (GWp) in 2025. However, this is a slower pace than in previous years. Even in South Africa, where the solar market added 1.6 GW in 2025 over 2024’s 1.1 GW, that is still a slowdown compared to 2023’s 2.4 GW (Global Solar Council) as systems integrators and installers run into various barriers. "The demand is still there, but it's not as simple as before," an installer remarked at a recent local solar event, speaking off the record. "Loadshedding is not as big a concern as it was, so there is less urgency to install solar systems. Prices are also higher than before. People want solar systems, but they ask a lot more questions and look for more value."]]></description>

            <title>Why South Africa’s TVET system will continue to fail without industry at the helm</title>

            <description><![CDATA[The recent Sunday Times article written by Isaak Mahlangu titled ‘Why TVETs are failing our youth’ paints a bleak predicament. The article paints a picture of a system desperately trying to find its footing with an 11% throughput rate, a pivot toward the German work-based model, and a minister appealing to industry for partnership. These are not new problems, and the proposed solutions, while well-intentioned, miss the most fundamental issue: the people designing, managing, and delivering technical and vocational education in South Africa largely have no meaningful industry experience. As someone who has operated in accredited artisan and engineering trades training for many years, I want to offer a perspective that the article touches on but does not fully interrogate.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Recyclers Association of South Africa (RASA) has written to the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment calling for an urgent inter-departmental review of the Price Preference System (PPS) following the publication of the Draft National Circular Economy Action Plan (NCEAP) on 1 June 2026. The NCEAP establishes South Africa’s first comprehensive 10-year national framework (2026–2036) to transition from a linear “take-make-dispose” economy to a regenerative circular model. It commits to keeping strategic materials in circulation at their highest value, formalising 60,000–90,000 waste reclaimers through a Just Transition with service-level agreements benchmarked against the National Minimum Wage (R30.23 per hour), and positioning South Africa as the primary AfCFTA secondary materials processing hub.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Packaging is playing an increasingly important role across the value chain. Beyond its traditional protective function, packaging has become a key consideration in areas such as sustainability, supply chain efficiency, product traceability and brand differentiation. As market demands evolve, manufacturers, processors and brand owners are increasingly adopting new materials, technologies and production methods to remain competitive. Several of these developments are expected to feature prominently at the Propak Cape exhibition later this year. Sustainability remains a significant focus area, with growing demand for recyclable, reusable and fibre-based packaging solutions that support circular economy objectives. At the same time, businesses continue to seek ways to improve operational efficiency, reduce material consumption and optimise logistics through packaging innovation.]]></description>
