Podcasts about Gwede Mantashe

The “embarrassment of being removed” is “foremost” in the thinking of President Cyril Ramaphosa. So says political analyst Piet Croucamp who deems the break between the president and African National Congress (ANC) Chair Gwede Mantashe as irreparable. “Mantashe was the person who knocked on Thabo Mbeki's door to tell him that time is up - and he was the one who knocked on Jacob Zuma's door to tell him time is up. If there's one thing that Ramaphosa and those around him fear most, it is that one day the National Executive Committee of the ANC makes a decision which could be perceived as a Motion of No Confidence and Gwede Mantashe comes and knocks on your door. And I think that's the big fear that Ramaphosa has.” Croucamp also gives his take on the real reason MKP SG Floyd Shivambu was redeployed; reveals his pick for the next leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA); comments on the performance of the Government of National Unity ((GNU); as well as the Afrikaner Trek to America. He also gazes into the future of South Africa in 10 years' time. “…there will not be a single party that will govern South Africa alone in the next two or three elections…”

Die minister van minerale en petroleumbronne, Gwede Mantashe, sê Orion Minerals se Prieska koper-en sinkmyn sal ekonomiese ontwikkeling in die Noord-Kaap aansienlik bevorder. Mantashe het tydens 'n besoek aan die terrein 'n gedenkplaat onthul en die myn se vermoë beklemtoon om werk te skep en plaaslike besighede op te hef. Hy sê die projek is daarop gemik om binne 13 maande met produksie te begin, met 'n jaarlikse teiken van 22 000 ton koper en 65 000 ton sink deur 'n ontwikkelingsstrategie wat in fases sal plaasvind:

Le Mining Indaba, l'incontournable sommet sur les mines en Afrique, s'est déroulé au début du mois dans la ville du Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Selon les estimations, le continent détient 30 % des réserves en minerais critiques, essentiels pour la transition énergétique. Parmi les grands habitués du salon : les Américains, qui envoient habituellement une importante délégation. Cette année, le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche semble modifier les dynamiques et les partenariats pourraient évoluer. Avec notre envoyée spéciale au Cap,La délégation américaine s'est réduite comme une peau de chagrin, cette année, tant sur la scène du Mining Indaba que dans les allées du salon. Seul représentant à prendre la parole : Scott Woodard, le secrétaire adjoint par intérim spécialisé sur les questions de transformation énergétique auprès du département d'État. Il est resté très vague sur la politique minière à venir. « Un des décrets signés par le président dès ses premiers jours au pouvoir concerne l'extraction et la transformation de minerais, surtout aux États-Unis. Mais si on le lit de plus près, il y est aussi fait mention, à de multiples reprises, des partenariats internationaux et de la coopération avec d'autres nations », a déclaré le diplomate.La nouvelle administration ne s'est pas encore totalement installée et on attend toujours la nomination de l'équipe Afrique de Donald Trump, bien que son ancien envoyé spécial pour le Sahel et les Grands Lacs, Peter Pham, soit pressenti. Selon les experts, le corridor de Lobito devrait continuer à être développé. La modernisation de cette ligne ferroviaire, pour faciliter le transport des minerais de la RDC et de la Zambie vers l'Angola afin de les exporter depuis la côte ouest du continent, rentre dans la logique de concurrence avec la Chine.À lire aussiLa posture souverainiste de Donald Trump séduit certains leaders africainsPoursuite des aides et garanties ?« Les compagnies continuent, mais elles ont souvent besoin de certains mécanismes d'aide de l'État américain, pour “dérisquer” certaines transactions qui pourraient être dans des pays compliqués, ou des nouveaux marchés », analyse Vincent Rouget du cabinet Control Risk. « On voyait souvent l'État américain intervenir, soit par le biais de la diplomatie, pour faciliter les échanges, les négociations, soit par le biais d'aides financières ou de garanties de prêt. Et là, on a un point d'incertitude : est-ce que ça va continuer ? Pour l'instant, c'est trop tôt pour le savoir », poursuit-il.Côté sud-africain, le ministre des Mines, Gwede Mantashe, souhaite durcir le ton, pour répondre au gel de l'aide américaine décidée par Donald Trump. « S'ils ne veulent plus nous donner d'argent, ne leur donnons pas de minerais. Nous avons des minerais sur ce continent, donc nous possédons quelque chose, nous ne sommes pas de simples mendiants. Nous devons utiliser cette richesse à notre avantage, en tant que continent », a-t-il affirmé fermement. Les doutes planent aussi au-dessus de la volonté des États-Unis de continuer à développer les chaînes de valeur ajoutée en Afrique, comme dans le cadre de l'accord signé avec la Zambie et la RDC, pour fabriquer sur place des batteries électriques.À lire aussiQuels sont les risques environnementaux liés à l'exploitation des minerais de la transition?

Mineral and petroleum resources minister Gwede Mantashe has scoffed at US President Donald Trump's threat that the world's largest economy will withdraw aid to the South African economy, saying South Africa could leverage its minerals in kind.

Mining Affected Communities United in Action eis aanspreeklikheid van die minister van Minerale Bronne, Gwede Mantashe, vir die Stilfontein-slagting. Die uitvoerende direkteur, Christopher Rutledge, berig 154 is gered en die liggame van 78 is uit die mynskag gehaal, met ongeveer 400 onwettige mynwerkers wat steeds ondergronds is. Rutledge beklemtoon haglike toestande, maar loof vrywilligers uit die gemeenskap wat lewens gered het. Hy het gevra vir 'n kommissie van ondersoek na die aangeleentheid:

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik sê die regering moet meer doen en minder praat oor die verlaging van brandstofheffings. Die minister van Minerale en Petroleumhulpbronne, Gwede Mantashe, sê besprekings oor die verlaging van brandstofpryse tussen sy departement en Nasionale Tesourie gaan voort. Dit sluit in die verlaging van brandstofbelastings, wat die prys by die pomp tot meer as 20 Suid-Afrikaanse rand opstoot. Outa se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage, sê die verlaging beteken nie net dat twee brandstofheffings geskrap sal word nie.

Cosatu verwelkom die minister van Minerale en Petroleumhulpbronne, Gwede Mantashe se steun vir stemme wat opgaan dat brandstofpryse gesny moet word. Die minister sê samesprekings is aan die gang tussen sy departement en die Nasionale Tesourie oor hoe om brandstofpryse te verlaag. Dit sluit in hoe om die brandstofbelasting te verlaag wat pryse by die pomp tot meer as 20 Suid-Afrikaanse rand per liter opstoot. Matthew Parks van Cosatu sê die regering moet 'n konkrete plan saam met die sakesektor en arbeid by die Nasionale Ekonomiese Ontwikkelings- en Arbeidsraad, Nedlac, ontwikkel:

Afrika-olieweek het vandag in Kaapstad begin, ter viering van energiebelegging op die vasteland oor die afgelope 30-jaar.

Die buurland se minerale-minister, Gwede Mantashe, het tydens die staatsrede-debat gefokus op kritici van die regering se pogings om apartheid se nalatenskap in die mynbousektor aan te spreek. Hy het teenstanders herinner aan die diepgewortelde uitdagings wat van apartheid oorgeërf is, en 342 jaar van kolonisasie, Hendrik Verwoerd se visie vir ‘n blywende apartheid-stelsel, én 46 jaar van apartheidsregering uitgelig. Mantashe sê die regering was sedert die aanbreek van demokrasie in 1994, verbind tot transformasie, met die fokus op eienaarskap, bestuur en verkryging.

Largely hidden by the desperate public discourse over the future of Eskom and electricity in South Africa, Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has been patiently building not only a case for supplanting coal with another fossil-fuel, LNG, but has now begun to lay down plans and actual tenders for an entire new cast powered infrastructure. It is all still a bit disjointed but in prospect is a vast new industrial undertaking, with new infrastructure and new rules. Peter Bruce talks to amaBhungane journalist Susan Comrie in this episode of Podcasts from the Edge — she has doggedly and brilliantly stuck with the unfolding gas extravaganza in a series of revealing reports over the past three years. What she reveals is staggering.

In this interview Samantha Graham-Maré, the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Shadow Minister of Electricity.notes:  “…in a couple of questions in the last week, Gwede Mantashe has admitted that last year January we went into Stage Eight load shedding…it's the first time that anybody from government has actually admitted to the fact we did go into Stage Eight load shedding.” The wide ranging discussion with Chris Steyn includes her take on Government's Revised Integrated Resource Plan and how National Treasury has “very quietly” incurred a $1 billion debt with the World Bank. - Chris Steyn

Either he doesn't know what an economic mess we are in or he does and is hiding it really well, but President Cyril Ramaphosa has a spring in his step at the moment. It must be all the flying he has been doing in that 20 years old Boeing 737 Thabo Mbeki ordered way back. Warsaw, Kyiv and St Petersburg, back to meet the prime ministers of Denmark and the Netherlands and then back off to France for a roundtable with world leaders on the future of finance before flying back to Cape Town at the weekend to close the first serious attempt in years by the ANC to form a coherent party in the province. Is he ready to lose the elections next year? “That's just silly,” he says, before flying off to goodness knows where. He's a moving target. Gwede Mantashe is a problem but the list of Ramaphosa's defeated enemies is, by now, impressively long….

In his first podcast monologue Peter Bruce takes his Podcasts from the Edge into new realms. Basically because a guest didn't pitch up he wonders pout loud when President Cyril “The Vanisher” Ramaphosa's reshuffle is going to happen or even if it ever will. Rumours have Gwede Mantashe keeping his job as energy minister. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, according to some reports, may stay. One because she made it back on to the National Executive Committee after failing to topple Ramaphosa from the party leadership and NEC members need to be sucked up to by ANC leaders and, two, because her vast, deft and sensitive handling of the covid State of Disaster make her an ideal candidate to run the next one, the energy one that the NEC told Ramaphosa they want him to declare. With a very nasty election coming down the road next year, and the near certainty he is going to lose it, Cyril's instinct is to make himself a largely indistinguishable part of a crowd. Like a State of Disaster Command Council. Anonymous polls at the weekend have the ANC polling 37% nationally the week before. Why anonymous? Probably because they're DA polls and our sterling opposition never leaks anything.

Will Eskom be better managed under the department of energy and is minister Gwede Mantashe the right minister to oversee the power utility?

As Executive Director of the Presidential Climate Commission, Dr Crispian Olver is at the very centre of South Africa's swirling energy policy debate. The commission's job isn't just to plan a way forward for the country, but to find the money to do it. In this first 2023 edition of Podcasts from the Edge he tells Peter Bruce that, despite setbacks and the growing power of the fossil fuel obsessed minerals and energy minister Gwede Mantashe, plans raised to wean South Africa off coal and presented to the COP27 climate conference in Egypt last November are still in place. The $8.5bn pledged by the EU, the US and the UK is, he says, “secure” despite the resignation of Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter, who helped raise the money in the first place. Nonetheless, he concedes, we are “in a very real and tangible crisis and we have manifestly failed to make sure that we have the generating capacity” we need. “You can't sugar-coat the bald facts,” says Olver. De Ruyter, he says, did a lot of good but “clearly didn't have his hands on the machinery at Eskom”. As for the ANC “decision” recently to pass control of Eskom to the department of minerals and energy, the absence of management skills there would make it a “catastrophic move” if it were to happen. “I think there needs to be a second take,” he suggests. For Olver, two key reforms are irreversible. First the decision to carve a separate transmission company out of Eskom is happening (however slowly). Second, there are no limits anymore on how much power private sector companies can now generate. It may all take a while to gel but it can't be stopped.

Die leier van ActionSA, Herman Mashaba, het die voorsitter van die parlement se openbare ondernemingskomitee, Khaya Magaxa, in 'n brief gevra vir 'n dringende openbare ondersoek na bewerings van onbehoorlike inmenging in operasionele sake by Eskom deur die direksie, die minister van minerale bronne en energie, Gwede Mantashe, én die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan. ActionSA se nasionale woordvoerder, Lerato Ngobeni, sê in die nasleep van André de Ruyter se bedanking as uitvoerende hoof, wek dié bewerings ernstige kommer.

André de Ruyter, Eskom se uitvoerende hoof, sal nog tot einde Maart 2033 by die kragverskaffer aanbly ter wille van kontinuïteit en sodat die regte opvolger gevind kan word. Die DA sê die skielike bedanking van De Ruyter, is die gevolg van die minister van minerale hulpbronne en energie, Gwede Mantashe, se verbete veldtog teen hom. De Ruyter het toenemend onder kritiek deurgeloop terwyl die energiekrisis vererger. Mantashe het in Julie gesê Eskom se hoof en raad het dalk nie die nodige vaardighede nie. Ghaleb Cachalia van die DA sê De Ruyter is belemmer terwyl hy geveg het om Eskom aan die gang te hou.

ActionSA se leier, Herman Mashaba, sê daar is min twyfel dat André de Ruyter as uitvoerende hoof van Eskom bedank het as gevolg van voortdurende vernedering deur die minister van minerale hulpbronne en energie, Gwede Mantashe. Hy sê Mantashe het herhaaldelik De Ruyter se pogings om die kragvoorsiener skoon te maak, bevraagteken, vertraag en gestuit. Mashaba sê die minister van openbare ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, het keer op keer gekies om die skuld vir beurtkrag op De Ruyter te pak, terwyl President Cyril Ramaphosa niks gedoen het om sy skoonmaakveldtog te ondersteun nie.

Suid-Afrika moet gemengde energie-tegnologieë navolg om aandag te gee aan energie-armoede en die sekerheid van energie-voorraad te verseker. Dit is die mening van die minister van minerale bronne en energie, Gwede Mantashe. Hy glo die oplossing lê in die volhoubare ontwikkeling van inheemse energie-hulpbronne. Die minister het die elfde jaarlikse wind-energie-konferensie in Kaapstad toegespreek. Mantashe sê wind-energie is besig om een van die energiebronne met die laagste koste te word en is een van die goedkoopste skoon energiebronne vir nuwe elektrisiteit.
