Published: 30 Apr 24
Johannesburg’s City Power is seeking manufacturing and venture capital partners to further develop and pilot a rugged ‘energy box’ concept in one of the city’s 312 informal settlements as a possible greener and safer alternative to the illegal connections that currently predominate. Chief engineer for renewable energy Paul Vermeulen says the idea is to locate 3 kWh energy storage boxes – linked to lighting, charging and cooking appliances – within individual dwellings and link these to a centralised solar photovoltaic generator securely located on a nearby warehouse or factory rooftop.

Published: 30 Apr 24
A takeover of Anglo American would need to be pitched at more than £30 ($37.6) a share, a higher price than BHP Group offered last week, according to analysts and traders surveyed by Bloomberg.

International maritime security conference being held in Ghana
Published: 30 Apr 24
Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo will be the guest of honour at the second meeting of the African Maritime Forces Summit (AMFS), being held in Accra, Ghana, from Tuesday to Thursday inclusive. This edition of the AMFS is being co-hosted by the Ghana Navy, US Naval Forces Africa and US Marine Corps Forces Africa, and is being attended by government leaders and military chiefs from more than 40 countries. Further, the previously separate Naval Infantry Leaders Symposium-Africa (NILS-A) has been incorporated into this AMFS, making them a single event. This is the third meeting of NILS-A. (Very few African navies have dedicated corps of marines, but many have light infantry-style units, if only for base security/force protection tasks. A number of African navies, including Ghana’s, do have their own special forces units.)

SA can climb towards 4% growth in coming years, if constraints are addressed
Published: 30 Apr 24
Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection executive director Joel Netshitenzhe delivered the keynote address at the Black Business Summit on Monday, where he was optimistic of South Africa moving towards 4% in economic growth in the next two or three years, provided constraints are dealt with. His address reflected on the country’s political economy 30 years into democracy and asked “Where is South Africa headed in the next 30 years?” He noted various ongoing strategies that could ensure positive prospects for the country going forward. “These are elaborated in the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan: the infrastructure programme; Master Plans for sectors with potential; a strategic African pivot in economic relations; and focussed attention to absorption of the unskilled and semiskilled through speedier land reform, low-end manufacturing and support for micro and informal enterprises,” he stated. However, he noted that it would take some time before these strategies had a significant impact. “…but the economy can climb towards 4% growth in the coming two to three years, if we are able to address the binding constraints,” he added.
