            <link>https://www.miningweekly.com/article/the-next-generation-of-builders-needs-digital-skills-from-day-one-2026-06-15</link>
            <description><![CDATA[South Africa's construction industry has spent years grappling with skills shortages. Now, a less visible challenge is emerging. As project environments become increasingly digital, many young professionals are finding that graduating with a university degree and being ready for the workplace are not always the same thing. RIB Software, a provider of digital technology for the construction industry, has identified the transition from theory to practice as one of the biggest hurdles facing young South African graduates. Through workshops, online training, and graduate programmes centred around its Candy construction management platform that supports estimating, planning, cost management, and project controls throughout the lifecycle, the company has seen first-hand how practical exposure can help bridge that gap for young professionals entering the market.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As part of its fleet replacement programme, Pangolin Logistics has taken delivery of ten new DAF trucks from Babcock. The new fleet – comprising five XF 480 and five XF 530 units – has been deployed in a cross-border side-tipper application, transporting bulk commodities between mining towns in South Africa and Mozambique. With a rich heritage in the transport industry dating back to the early 1980s, Paul Botha, founder and owner of Pangolin Logistics, is a respected veteran in the trucking sector. One thing has remained constant throughout his career: his passion for DAF Trucks, a brand he describes as “the best truck in the world”.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Digital identity offers a solution to a range of challenges - from curbing fraud and theft, to enhancing customer service. However, there have been concerns in some quarters about the potential for digital identities to be misused for surveillance or exclusion, or for them to be hacked or stolen. As biometric identity solutions become more widely adopted across the banking, insurance, healthcare and telecoms sectors, organisations rightly ask: ‘who controls this data, where does it live, and can it be accessed without our knowledge?’]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[People often think LiDAR scanning is simply a more advanced way to measure a building. According to Edward de Jager, Head of Operations at BPAS Architects, that misses the point entirely. “The most common misunderstanding is the belief that a raw LiDAR scan is a finished BIM model,” he explains. “In reality, converting a LiDAR point cloud (a massive collection of 3D data points generated by scanning an object or environment with a laser sensor) into a smart, parametric model still requires significant human expertise and processing time.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Abundant deposits of clay across Africa make limestone calcined clay cement (LC³) a popular lower carbon option for the continent and Chryso Southern Africa is finding innovative solutions to the challenges posed by clay variability. While South Africa has access to traditional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash and slag, most African countries need to rely on natural clay deposits to reduce the clinker in cement, according to Chryso Southern Africa’s Research and Development Manager, Mpume Mabaso-Mlalazi. This is driven by the cement industry’s commitment to decarbonise production by reducing the proportion of carbon-intensive clinker in cement.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Next week, Cape Town will once again host the continent’s most influential energy gathering, the Africa Energy Forum (AEF). The annual forum, which brings together ministers, developers, investors, and technology leaders, comes at a critical inflection point for the sector, at a time when Africa’s energy ambitions are increasingly defined by the need for large-scale delivery. This year’s theme, “Building Africa’s Industrialised Future”, reflects a growing urgency to move beyond ambition into large-scale infrastructure, investment, and execution that can support sustained economic growth across the continent. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s renewable energy sector is expanding at a rapid pace, but the speed of delivery is often slowed by the familiar and avoidable challenge of fragmented secondary plant integration.  When protection systems, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) development, plant-level automation, and grid code compliance are handled by multiple suppliers, the result is often misaligned designs, conflicting interfaces, and commissioning delays that cost developers both time and money. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global disruptions in recent years - including the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, shipping delays, infrastructure challenges and rapid technological change - have highlighted how critical supply chain management is. Once regarded as a technical support function that simply supported the movement of goods and services from the point of origin to the customer, it has evolved into a strategic, innovative, technology-driven discipline that shapes cost, risk, resilience and organisations’ long-term competitiveness. This shift is creating opportunities for young South Africans entering the workforce, according to SAPICS. At a time when youth unemployment is one of the country's most pressing challenges, supply chain management offers a career path that is in demand, dynamic and rewarding, SAPICS states.]]></description>

The report points to improving affordability and operating conditions, alongside a clear shift in the SME landscape: from reactive survival towards more deliberate, growth-focused decision-making.
