Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille revealed on Monday that R35-million linked to irregular payments, and for services not rendered, has been returned to the South African Tourism account. De Lille confirmed that Auditor General Tsakani Maluleke was in the process of finalising a delegation from her office to undertake an audit of the SA Tourism New York office. She explained that the recovery of funds followed months of communication with the respective media agency to pay back the money. De Lille said she was made aware of a number of irregular payments which were made through South African Tourism's US and South Africa offices for services not rendered. "I was recently informed by SA Tourism that there had been a number of irregular payments and invoices noted which do not meet the definition of compliant and valid or internal control verification standards," she explained. She said a number of irregular invoices were created about three days before the previous financial year end - March 31, 2023 - and processed piecemeal to override banking controls. These payments were processed from the US South Africa offices by executives who were no longer in the employment of SA Tourism, she added. De Lille noted that these transactions were linked to a media agency and when these irregularities were discovered, the service provider was informed and conceded that a significant portion received by them and signed off by then acting CFO, acting CEO and the then COO of SA Tourism were for services not rendered. She explained that the discovery was triggered by a review by SA Tourism. De Lille said the irregular payments were "completely shocking" and "it is unacceptable" that officials entrusted with public funds continue to act "with such contempt of public finance laws and regulations". She said the internal audit report was being finalised and the matter had also been reported to Maluleke to investigate.

Sasol prioritising coal de-stoning investment as it seeks to allay fears over big Secunda output dip

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Energy and chemicals group Sasol has moved to address investor concerns that its yearly production at Secunda will need to fall to only 6.7-million tons for it to meet its goal of reducing the carbon-heavy Mpumalanga complex's greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030. Delivering his final results presentation, outgoing CEO Fleetwood Grobler insisted that the 6.7-million tons output profile announced in August represented the "low road" production scenario that emerged following a review of its emission roadmap once the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was eliminated as a plausible feedstock for Secunda. The review resulted in Sasol impairing the Secunda asset by R35-billion. The JSE group had since progressed with various mitigation actions to ensure that volumes did not fall below 7-million tons while still meeting the goal of reducing coal volumes by 25% by 2030 and honouring its increasingly urgent decarbonisation commitments. Central to these plans is a coal de-stoning initiative, designed to recover its coal quality, alongside initiatives to stabilise volumes through coal purchases and possibly by diverting export coal to Secunda in line with an expectation that the seaborne market will weaken as countries reduce their reliance on the energy mineral. Sasol is already familiar with the dense-medium separation technology that will be employed to de-stone the coal and expects to make a final investment decision (FID) this year, having already made significant progress in securing the necessary environmental approvals. Grobler refused to be drawn on the investment value and told Engineering News in an interview that the capital expenditure figure would be revealed only once the FID was made. "The project is progressing at pace because it's one of the biggest value-unlock projects we have, so it's a priority for us," Grobler said in an interview, following the release of the group's interim results. Sasol's headline earnings a share fell 34% to R20.37 in the six months to December 31, 2023, from R30.90 in the previous comparable period. Grobler said the de-stoning project, together with the group's other initiatives to improve coal quality and supply, could result in Secunda's production volumes recovering to about 7.5-million in the latter part of the current decade. The bulk of the decarbonisation would, thus, arise from the group's plan to turn down its power station boilers, rather than its gasifiers. "There's a big misconception that we have to go to 6.7-million to meet our decarbonisation target," Grobler told Engineering News. Sasol expects Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy is to make a decision next month on its controversial proposed alternative approach for measuring the sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the 17 coal boilers at Secunda. Grobler reiterated that a refusal by the Minister would result in the phased shutdown of Secunda. Should it receive approval, the commitment to reducing its coal consumption by 25% would be met by the boiler turndown plan, which would also enable it to meet its SO2 legal obligations and most of its decarbonisation, the balance of which would be met through a reduction in Secunda's output to 7-million tons by 2030. "This means that the alternative source of carbon required to supplement production is not equivalent to the full 25% cost reduction," Grobler stressed. NO GAS-CLIFF REPRIEVE The group was working on a range of feedstock options, including raising the proportion of gas used in Secunda's production process from about 10% currently to about 13%.

DA on a mission to 'rescue' KZN by replicating uMngeni approach - Steenhuisen

Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen is confident that the "remarkable" turnaround happening in KwaZulu-Natal's (KZN's) uMngeni municipality could be replicated province-wide, if KZN voters install a Multi-Party Charter government in 2024. Steenhuisen wrote in his weekly letter on Friday that having borne the brunt of the African National Congress's "failure" during the July riots of 2021, KZN looks set to "rise from the ashes" next year. He highlighted that uMngeni municipality has quickly become a shining beacon of hope and success in this "deeply troubled province". "Its trajectory of progress began when the people of uMngeni elected KZN's very first DA mayor in 2021 by a margin of just 46 votes, showing Springbok-style, that every point counts. uMngeni's success is not due to one person or factor, but rather to consistent effort and commitment by a well-led group of diverse South Africans working together for the greater good," he said. uMngeni Mayor Chris Pappas is the DA's Premier candidate for KZN. "Our '1+1=WIN' campaign is targeted at getting every single DA supporter to play their part, by persuading and assisting one unregistered person they know, to register and vote DA," Steenhuisen said. He highlighted the service delivery pact signed by the DA and Inkatha Freedom Party earlier this year, and said the parties are the two largest in the Multi-Party Charter that has united eight political parties around a common vision and set of priorities for rescuing South Africa. Steenhuisen explained that on taking office, uMngeni's youthful team, led by Pappas and DA Deputy Mayor Sandile Mnikathi, rolled up their sleeves and got down to work cleaning up the streets, fixing infrastructure, and igniting the economy of the Midlands municipality. In just two years, all uMngeni's inherited debt had been paid off and it achieved an unqualified audit for 2022/23, by modernising the systems of the municipality to improve efficiency and limit corruption, he explained. Steenhuisen added that this financial health had enabled the party to purchase R35-million worth of heavy equipment to fix roads and manage waste, and to triple the budget for road repairs from R11-million to R30-million. To make communities safer, the DA opened a traffic office and vehicle pound, and purchased 6 new law enforcement vehicles. "They understand keenly that this is the consistent, concerted action required to build people's confidence in the future, which in turn spurs the investment and job creation needed to grow dignity and improve lives," said Steenhuisen.

Relief as inflation falls below 6%

Annual consumer price inflation slowed dramatically to 5.4% in June from 6.3% in May. The last time consumer inflation was within the Reserve Bank's target range of 4% to 6% was more than a year ago. This may help to convince the monetary policy committee not to hike interest rates on Thursday. June's inflation data was also the lowest level in 20 months, Statistics SA reported. The CPI increased by only 0.2% from April to June 2023. The annual inflation rate for goods was 6.3%, down from 8.0% in May and for services it was 4.5%, down from 4.6% in May. Lower fuel prices contributed to the much softer inflation number, with annual transport inflation tumbling from 7.0% in May to 1,8% in June, dragged lower mainly by softer fuel prices. The fuel index was 8.3% lower in June 2023 than in June 2022. Food and non-alcoholic beverages prices also cooled for the third month in a row - from 14% in March to 11% in June. Most food categories saw slower price growth, with some products actually becoming cheaper - the average price of a 750 ml bottle of sunflower oil was R35.57 in June, from almost R44 a year ago, for example. However, Statistics SA reports that prices for sugar, sweets and desserts increased from 11.9% to 16.4%. Prices for brown sugar (+17.4%), white sugar (up 17.1%) and chocolate slabs (up 16.2%) saw the biggest hikes. Wine (+9.4%) and beer (+5.5%) prices also saw sharper increases. The latest CPI number shows that residential rent increased by 2.7% in June compared to a year ago. Over the past quarter, rent prices increased by 1.2% - the biggest hike in almost five years.

Daimler's Atlantis Foundries signs embedded solar power purchase agreement

Atlantis Foundries (AF) has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with integrated energy solutions company Energy Partners (EP). According to the agreement, EP will engineer, finance, construct and operate the ground-mounted solar-energy system at AF's production plant, comprising more than 20 000 solar panels and boasting a total rated capacity of 13.5 MWp. It will be the Western Cape's largest embedded generation solar project. EP CEO Manie de Waal says the PPA, set to kick off on May 1 next year, will provide AF with “a reliable electricity source at a substantially reduced cost over the next 20 years”. It will also align AF with growing environmental awareness in the automotive industry. “Opting for renewable energy is a significant step, and the system that we designed for AF is expected to save more than 22 000 t of carbon dioxide emissions annually - likely the highest reduction achieved in the South African automobile industry,” says De Waal. “In financial terms, the system will generate electricity worth more than R35-million per year at current average Eskom tariffs.” The system, which has been engineered to align with AF's electrical consumption profile, is estimated to replace up to 20% of its yearly electricity consumption. It will be integrated into AF's electrical network, which is connected to the City of Cape Town grid. Excess energy generated by the plant will be fed into the city's network through the feed-in programme, contributing to Cape Town's overall renewable energy capacity. “With this renewable energy generation project, we are setting new standards in the South African automotive industry and alleviating pressure on our constrained national grid,” says AF CEO Pieter du Plessis. “It is a result of extensive cooperation between the AF and EP teams, in conjunction with the Western Cape government and City of Cape Town.” The project sets the stage for future embedded generation systems exceeding 1 MW within Cape Town and the rest of the Western Cape. Atlantis Foundries produces automotive castings for the commercial vehicle industry.

To get the most out of the package, the team rely on data from the car via tyre temperatures, shock potentiometers above the Ohlins TTX dampers, and driver feedback to make logical changes. This attention to detail is part and parcel when it comes to ensuring that the tyre temperatures are even across their widths and that the car has the maximum contact patch possible where required on track.Cole explains why Infrared sensors are great for live data, and why teams will still physically check temperatures under the tyre surface as quickly as possible when the car hits the pits after a hot lap. When adjustments need to be made, a simple string alignment kit and ruler are used due to their simplicity, ease of transport and most importantly their accurate and repeatable results.At this event, Cole reset the team's own R35 GTR record but fell just short of the 1-29 that they really wanted to hit with a best time of 1-30.0230, so close!

City Power announces R401m short-term loadshedding mitigation plan

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 26, 2023 5:19

In what could be her last address as City of Johannesburg (CoJ) mayor, since she faces a vote of no confidence, Mpho Phalatse has announced City Power's ‘Sustainable Energy Strategy', which it has published with the aim of attracting funding, to help reduce the severity of loadshedding in the city. She says the city has been on a path towards reducing its reliance on Eskom in earnest since May last year, following the Joburg Energy Indaba. City Power has since put out requests for proposals for short-term power purchase agreements to secure energy from independent power producers (IPPs) for up to 36 months. The first round of tenders went out in November last year, with the closing date being February 10. Additionally, City Power is undergoing an approval process for Ministerial determination to procure power on a longer-term basis from IPPs. City Power seeks to secure additional capacity from diversified energy sources, including solar, gas, battery storage, waste-to-energy and gas-to-power projects. Phalatse says the CoJ is ultimately working towards procuring an additional 500 MW of electricity, which could offset up to five stages of loadshedding. The short-term objectives of the ‘Sustainable Energy Strategy' has an estimated cost requirement of R401-million, to avert up to Stage 3 loadshedding, since Stage 2 and 3 loadshedding is likely to continue for at least the next 18 months. Particularly, Phalatse says, for R20-million, the city can recommission its two existing open-cycle gas turbine stations, which could produce 74 MW of power; however, this will require the city to procure and burn diesel. The CoJ already has 1.2-million litres of diesel on hand for these sites. Further, at R85-milion, City Power can use ripple relay systems to remotely regulate high-energy use products such as geysers, swimming pool motors and the like, which could save 80 MW, but only when absolutely necessary, Phalatse points out. For the city to produce and distribute smart meters and a communication system to enable City Power to limit the amount of power distributed to homes, it will need R203-million. Phalatse explains that, instead of completely turning off the power, the city can supply homes with enough energy to power essential needs. This could save an additional 322 MW, when needed and not on a whim, and with the necessary communication to customers. For City Power to better monitor, control and optimise its transmission system, it requires R120-million. “Unfortunately, the CoJ does not have R401-million lying around that can be easily shifted to this strategy. We are, therefore, exploring the establishment of an infrastructure fund and we will be approaching development finance institutions, the private sector and provincial and national governments to fund this project, where we will leverage our status as the economic hub of the country,” Phalatse states. City Power CEO Tshifularo Mashava confirms that, if the entity were to get the money immediately, it would take up to six months to get this mitigation plan active, given that much of the infrastructure is already in place. Phalatse notes that, despite the threat of her possibly being removed from office again, the ‘Sustainable Energy Strategy' is not about politics, but a legacy project to ensure Johannesburg can continue to operate, and more sustainably at that. She says the city has been losing customers and revenue owing to customers going semi- or completely off-grid. Between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, City Power experienced losses of 386 GWh, resulting in a net revenue loss of about R284-million. The entity has also incurred costs of about R155-million, owing to overtime as a result of loadshedding, and R35-million in insurance costs. This translates to a total loss of R474-million in the period under review. Moreover, City Power also incurs losses owing to vandalism and theft, having spent R200-million on 390 mini substations between July 1, 2021, and November 11,...

A proposed disposal by Murray & Roberts (M&R) of its Clough unit to Webuild was terminated on Monday and Clough and its subsidiaries placed into voluntary administration in Australia with immediate effect, together with the JSE-listed group's Australian holding company, MRPL. The announcement triggered a sharp decline in M&R's shares, which were trading about 13% lower directly following the announcement. In a surprise move, M&R announced a proposed sale and purchase agreement with Webuild, of Italy, on November 18, whereby the group's entire issued share capital in Clough Limited would be transferred to Webuild. The agreement was coupled to a proposed interim loan facility of A$30-million from Webuild to Clough, which required the urgent injection of working capital to avoid entering voluntary administration. With the expiry of the prescribed date for implementation, and with no reasonable prospect of the interim loan materialising, the parties mutually agreed on December 5 to terminate the agreement. In the absence of the interim loan, the Clough board then placed Clough and its subsidiaries under voluntary administration in Australia with immediate effect. M&R confirmed that the voluntary administration of MRPL had potential implications for RUC Cementation (RUC), which a net asset value of A$85-million (about R1-billion). RUC has not been placed into voluntary administration, with the administration of MRPL viewed as a way to mitigate the risks to RUC . “Other than the group's interest in RUC, as well as a guarantee provided to Clough USA in the amount of A$3-million (equivalent to approximately R35-million), the group has no residual exposure in Australia or to Clough and will not be affected by MRPL being placed into voluntary administration,” M&R said in a statement. The administrators appointed to MRPL and Clough were identified as Sal Algeri, Jason Tracy, Glen Kanevsky and David Orr, who are all members of the Deloitte Australia corporate rescue team. Chronux director Rowan Goeller, who tracks M&R, says there was always a risk the deal might not be concluded, which is negative as it would have allowed M&R to exit Clough with minimal financial impact. "The liabilities associated to Clough are ring-fenced to Australia so putting MRPL into business rescue insulates M&R South Africa, although RUC (part of the mining division) falls under MRPL and may form part of a business rescue process.," Goeller adds.

Gas air heater fire could delay commercial operation at Kusile Unit 5 by up to a year

Eskom told lawmakers on Wednesday that a fire in the gas air heater of Kusile Unit 5, which occurred during a commissioning exercise on September 17, represented a major “setback” and could delay the 800 MW unit's entry into commercial operation by up to a year. Under the revised scheduled for the much-delayed Kusile build programme, Unit 5 was expected to enter into commercial operation in December 2023. Addressing a Standing Committee on Public Accounts meeting, COO Jan Oberholzer said the cause of the fire had not yet been determined by the contractor, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, which he referred to as MHI, but that sabotage was not currently suspected. He noted that a similar incident had occurred during the commissioning of Kusile Unit 2, which had delayed the introduction of the unit by 12 months, and that a similar delay was, thus, being assumed preliminarily for Unit 5. Eskom expected to receive details outlining MHI's new commissioning plan for the unit by Sunday, October 23, but Oberholzer confirmed that the fire represented a major setback, particularly in a context where the utility urgently required additional generation capacity to reduce the risk of loadshedding. “Unfortunately I have to be open that unit number five will not be placed into commercial operation by December 2023,” he said, signalling that initial indications were that the unit might achieve that milestone only in December 2024. “Again, I need to emphasise that this was during the commissioning of that specific component and we don't believe that there was any foul play.” The commercial implications were still being calculated, but it was estimated that it would add some R150-million a month to Kusile's interest during construction (IDC). Work on Unit 6, meanwhile, was continuing and it remained on schedule for commercial operation by the middle of 2024, with efforts under way to bring that date forward to May 2024. MEDUPI UNIT 4 At Medupi meanwhile, where all six units were in commercial operation prior to a catastrophic hydrogen explosion at Unit 4 in 2021, Eskom was planning to return Unit 4 to service only in September 2024. This, together with extended maintenance at the Koeberg nuclear station – which had been further prolonged because the replacement of the three steam generators at Unit 2 had to be postponed earlier this year owing to Eskom's failure to complete the required containment facility on time – would increase the risk of power cuts. The energy-short grid would be without at least one unit of Koeberg for a period of about a year and a half, which would increase the intensity of loadshedding by one stage every time it was implemented. Nevertheless, Oberholzer expressed confidence that Koeberg would secure its life-extension licence before the current licence expired in mid-2024. Oberholzer again confirmed that the Koeberg life-extension capital expenditure was far higher than the R20-billion announced in 2010, but said he could not yet provide the new value. Lawmakers were also provided an update on the cost and cost to completion of both Medupi and Kusile, which were set to cost R145-billion and R161.4-billion to complete respectively, before IDC. The remaining cost to complete Kusile was stated as being R14-billion, while the figure for Medupi was pegged at R18.95-billion. The Medupi figure excluded the cost of installing flue gas desulphurisation (FGD), which could involve an additional R35- to R40-billion and remained a condition of a World Bank loan that had been raised to help fund the project. CEO André de Ruyter reported that the FGD technology installed at Kusile was a single point of failure and that trips associated with the plant were a key reason for Kusile's poor energy availability factor (EAF) currently. Eskom was pursuing an operations and maintenance contract with General Electric, which supplied the FGD to Kusile, in an effort to improve the plant's performance. The utility, which has never before oper...

Police Minister Bheki Cele's ministry has spent R8-million on accommodation, entertainment and catering between 1 April 2019 to 17 June this year, while the rest of the police force spent more than R3-billion on the same services over the same period. The police's overall budget has dwindled during this time. This was revealed in Cele's response to a written parliamentary question by Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Janho Engelbrecht. Engelbrecht asked how much had been spent on accommodation, catering and entertainment for Cele, his deputy Cassel Mathale, and all other police officials since he came into office on 29 May 2019. However, the police's accounting doesn't break down costs from specific dates, and the amounts since the start of the 2019/20 financial year – 1 April 2019 – are given. Taxpayers footed a bill of R7.5-million for accommodation, R6 986 on entertainment and R443 146 on catering for Cele, Mathale and ministerial staff over the period. For other officials, the police spent R1.5-billion on accommodation, R1.8-million on entertainment, and R42.3-million on catering. "Entertainment expenses relates to refreshments, in the form of coffee, tea, non-alcoholic beverages and biscuits, for visitors to the offices of all Senior Management Service (SMS) members in the Ministry and the SAPS including Station Commanders, which will not exceed two thousand rand (R2 000) per SMS member or Station Commander (irrespective of rank) cumulatively per financial year," reads Cele's reply. "It should be noted that accommodation expenditure of officials in the SAPS, will realise at higher levels in instances where officials had to be accommodated away from their normal place of work, due to specific operational needs and deployment requirements, i.e. unrest periods, election, other events of national importance, detached duties, investigation of criminal cases, etc." No explanation for the catering costs was provided. The police's dwindling budget has been a concern during the period. The Portfolio Committee on Police heard in April this year, when the police's budget for the 2022/23 financial year was presented, that the budget for visible policing would again decline, as it had the year before. The police also continue to spend more money on protection services than on investigating so-called priority crimes, as the budget for protection services is higher than that of the Hawks. The police's budget for the 2022/23 financial year is R100.695-billion, compared to the previous year's R100.474-billion. Visible policing budget down Committee chairperson Tina Joemat-Pettersson said at the time that, despite the nominal increase of about R225-million from the previous year's budget, their allocation in real terms had decreased by R4.1-billion. According to the police's presentation to the committee, visible policing was the only one of their five main programmes that would receive less money this year than it did in 2021/22. The police's administration will get R20.361-billion in 2022/23, an increase of R102-million from the previous year. The visible policing budget for 2022/23 is R51.716-billion, a drop of R508-million. Detective services get R20.760-billion, an increase of R427-million. Crime Intelligence gets R4.362-billion, an increase of R65-million. Protection and Security Services get R3.496-billion, an increase of R35-million. The police's chief financial officer remarked that these increases were less than inflation. The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations, better known as the Hawks, receives its budget out of the R20.760-billion budgeted for detective services. It only gets R2.167-billion, or 10.48%, of this figure. However, it increases by 4.67% from the previous year's R2.079-billion. When the police made a similar presentation to the committee last year, they indicated that visible policing's budget had shrunk by almost R4-billion, with its sub-programme crime prevention absorbing most of the cut.

Calls for petrol price deregulation display lack of knowledge – FRA

MiningWeekly.com Audio Articles

Increasing calls from the public for the petrol price to be deregulated speak of ignorance, warns Fuel Retailers Association (FRA) CEO Reggie Sibiya. “As fuel prices continue to rise, there is pressure on retailers to cut margins and be in competition with each other, which is absolutely impossible. If you look at the retail margin it is R2.28 a litre. “People think there is a lot to share in the margin – there is nothing to share. We actually need more to sustain our businesses.” Sibiya says that countries such as the UK, where the fuel price has been deregulated, in June hit a petrol price of more than R35 a litre. “We must realise that deregulation will not drive prices down on an ongoing basis.” Deregulation could also mean that people will have to fill up their own tanks and pump their own tyres, adds Sibiya. It must also be taken into consideration that numerous service stations are run as “highly geared” small and medium enterprises, he notes. A continued flow of new entrants into the market is also “making the cake smaller”. The recent steep hikes in fuel prices, twinned with the Covid-19 pandemic, have also led to a dramatic reduction in fuel sales, says Sibiya. “Some service stations lost up to 80% of their volumes during the pandemic. They are still in the process of recovering from Covid-19.” Sibiya notes that job opportunities at service stations are related directly to sales volumes, and that the industry may see job losses if volumes do not recover or if margins are affected. “Then, on top of that, we see illegal trading where wholesalers are selling fuel directly to the public,” laments Sibiya. “If you are a wholesaler, you must operate as a wholesaler.” “You cannot go and start retail sales. But this is rampant. We are pushing the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy to manage this situation, which is getting out of hand.” Sibiya notes that it is important for the fuel retail sector to “unify as an industry”, otherwise “government becomes a winner that takes all”.

Minerals Council expresses concern about impact of logistics constraints on mineral exports

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 10, 2022 4:17

South Africa's exported bulk mineral tonnages have dropped to their lowest level since the Covid-19 lockdown in the first half of 2020, with rail, port and border constraints negatively affecting users of these State-owned services, causing exporters and the country to miss the full benefits of the current high commodity price cycle, industry body Minerals Council South Africa says. It notes that the constraints on exports of coal, chrome, iron-ore and manganese are a continuation of the difficulties mining companies and traders experienced during 2021, when they experienced an opportunity cost of R35-billion if delivered tonnages are measured against targets set by rail operator Transnet, and a R50-billion opportunity cost if deliveries are measured against the capacity of the rail and port infrastructure and rolling stock. “If there is no change or urgent intervention to address the logistical bottlenecks, the mining industry is likely to incur similar opportunity costs this year, if not surpassing historical losses,” says Minerals Council chief economist Henk Langenhoven. Bulk mineral exports in April were at the lowest monthly level since 2016 if the Covid-19-related economic shutdown from March 2020 is excluded. “The rail and port logistics bottlenecks are having a big impact on South Africa's mineral exports. This worrying trend, which shows no signs of slowing or reversing, underscores the urgency for high-level intervention on the rail network and our ports to stabilise them, return them to productivity and meet design capacity. “Only having achieved the latter can we realistically talk about implementing growth projects so the bulk commodity mines can expand,” says Langenhoven. “Currently, better commodity prices are compensating for underperforming export volumes but the price cycle may reverse, or volumes may deteriorate to such a degree that it negates the price windfall,” he adds. In the four months to April 30, iron-ore export volumes were 7% lower year-on-year, with the value of sales down by 25%. Similarly, production was 14% below that of a year ago. Thermal coal export tonnages were just 8% higher, meaning companies, traders and the fiscus have not fully realised the 150% improvement in coal prices if capacity existed to increase volumes. Production was nearly 3% lower, the council points out. It adds that chrome export tonnages were flat, at 0.4% below those of a year earlier, while the value of exports climbed by 14%. Production nudged up 2.2%. Producers continue to use trucks to export chrome through Mozambique's Maputo port, the council points out. Manganese exports grew by 6% against a 23% increase in value. Production was down by 2%. Crime has recently started to influence tonnages transported on rail, which the council says is concerning. The Minerals Council says its leadership is engaged in high-level talks with Transnet's senior executives and management about the constraints it is dealing with, and how best the mining industry can assist to resolve these challenges. There are also talks about specific commodities and their associated rail and port links between the council, relevant member companies and Transnet to find solutions in a collaborative manner. The Minerals Council and Transnet are in regular contact with Cabinet Ministers and the government's security cluster to address the sourcing of spares for about 200 locomotives and to tackle crime on the rail network respectively, the council says. It highlights that the coal industry has invested more than R100-million on security interventions that have proved effective in considerably reducing the number of security incidents on the COALlink network. Chrome, iron-ore and manganese miners are in talks with Transnet about extending the private security and technology initiatives to their rail corridors to combat crime that is disrupting exports, the council says.

Eskom sets August 2024 target date for return of damaged Medupi 4

Electricity utility Eskom has set a target date of August 2024 for the return to service of Medupi Unit 4, the generator of which was “catastrophically” damaged during an explosion on August 8, 2021. Acting generation MD Rhulani Mathebula, who has stepped into the role following the resignation of Phillip Dukashe, says assurance and forensic investigations have been completed and that management expects to institute consequence management against those involved by the end of May. The explosion occurred during the displacement of hydrogen with carbon dioxide and air, respectively, for the purposes of finding an external leak. Mathebula reports that its captive insurer, ESCAP, has accepted the admissibility of the claim report issued by the loss adjuster, Sedgwick South Africa, and that the commercial process and award of the first contract for the refurbishment of the generator stator is expected by no later than June 15. “Based on preliminary results from the property damage assessment and long-lead items, the commercial operation of Medupi Unit 4 is expected by August 2024,” he reports. Meanwhile, Eskom also reports that functional specification has been completed for sign-off on the installation of flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) on the six Medupi units, in line with a stipulation of a World Bank loan. COO Jan Oberholzer says the retrofitting of FGD to the six Medupi units at the power station is expected to cost between R35-billion and R42-billion, based on its experience with installing the technology at the Kusile power station. Eskom is working to compile a scope of work, but does not yet have a final date for the issuance of a tender. Separately, the Eskom board has approved new target dates for the completion of the remaining Kusile units, with Unit 4 slated for commercial operation in January 2023, Unit 5 in December 2023 and Unit 6 in May 2024. Previously, Eskom had expected Unit 4, which was first synchronised to the grid on December 23 last year, to enter commercial operation in July this year. Oberholzer says Eskom has every intention to “beat those dates”. To do so, however, will require more rapid progress on securing coal for the plant, as well as ensuring that the ash-handling facilities are in place.

MC Mining investigates marketing alternatives to ride price boom; Uitkomst output rises

Coal miner MC Mining's 70%-owned Uitkomst colliery increased its run-of-mine production by 7% year-on-year to 124 144 t in the first quarter of the year. Sales of high-grade peas and duff, totalling 62 751 t, were achieved in the period, up from the 53 512 t sold in the first quarter of 2021. The sales were augmented by the sale of coal carried over from the last quarter of 2021 and the two pre-sale contracts outstanding at the end of December 2021, which were completed during the period under review. In addition, Uitkomst also sold 8 610 t of high ash middlings coal in the period, marginally down year-on-year, while the mine had 8 373 t of high-grade duff and peas coal on hand at the end of the quarter, compared with 10 909 t at the beginning of the quarter. MC Mining recorded 71 361 t of coal sales during the quarter, up from the 62 301 t of the first quarter of 2021; comprising 62 751 t of high-grade metallurgical and thermal coal and 8 610 t of lower-grade middlings coal. MC Mining points out that Russia is a significant producer of coal globally and its invasion of Ukraine resulted in the prices of thermal coal attaining record highs. Average API4 prices in the first quarter of this year were 162% higher year-on-year at $238/t; but the composition of Uitkomst's sales mix resulted in average revenue a tonne increasing by just 53% year-on-year to $110/t. However, these elevated prices are not being accepted in the South African domestic coal market and, as such, MC Mining is assessing alternative coal marketing strategies, including the potential production of higher-quality coal for the international pulverised coal injection market. Uitkomst's sales include lower-value middlings coal, as well as sales under fixed price arrangements. Production costs per saleable tonne were marginally higher than the comparative period of 2021, increasing from $73/t to $74/t. Nonetheless, revenue per tonne sold also increased year-on-year, from $72/t in 2021 to $110/t, owing to elevated API4 coal prices recorded during the quarter. MAKHADO & VELE MC Mining's flagship 67%-owned Makhado hard coking coal project recorded no lost-time injuries in the first quarter. In the period under review, the Industrial Development Corporation, which holds a 6.7% equity interest in Baobab Mining & Exploration – MC Mining's subsidiary that owns Makhado – agreed to extend the date for repayment of the existing R160-million loan plus interest. This is in addition to extending the terminal drawdown date in respect of the conditional R245-million term loan facility for the development of the Makhado project to November 30. In the event MC Mining does not repay the existing loan by the repayment date, the financing documentation enables that the debt be converted into equity. Baobab also completed the acquisition of the Lukin and Salaita properties – key surface rights for the Makhado project – with the balance of the purchase price of R35-million paid during the quarter. The economics of the Makhado project were confirmed in the bankable feasibility study (BFS) completed by Minxcon subsequent to the end of the first quarter. Going forward, the development of Makhado is expected to deliver positive returns for shareholders and will position MC Mining as South Africa's pre-eminent hard coking coal producer, states MC Mining. The project has an estimated capital cost (including contingencies) of R625-million, a peak funding requirement of R727-million and is expected to create about 650 permanent employment positions (including contractors) at steady-state production. The BFS confirmed that Makhado has a short construction period of 12 months, positioning the project to take advantage of the current higher global coal prices. Meanwhile, MC Mining's fully-owned Vele semi-soft coking and thermal coal colliery remained on care and maintenance during the first quarter and recorded two lost-time injuries (LTIs) when staff members were involved in a traffic accident ...

Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation Dr Blade Nzimande made the announcement on Thursday and urged those hoping to study at public universities and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges to apply on time. Addressing the media in a press briefing attended by NSFAS CEO Andile Nongogo, officials from the Department of Higher Education and Training and student leadership, Dr Nzimande said the demand for student funding had increased now more than ever, owing to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. NSFAS funding had increased from R5.9-billion in the 2014/15 financial year to about R35-billion in 2020/21. “This is a significant contribution by government to supporting access to higher education and the success of students from poor and working class backgrounds. I am very proud of the achievements of the NSFAS,” Nzimande said. Government will categorise applying students as first-time and returning students who are also South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) beneficiaries; first-time and returning students who are not SASSA beneficiaries; and students living with disabilities. Applications are also open to individuals who are already enrolled at institutions, but are without funding and who qualify financially for NSFAS funding. Nzimande said the NSFAS board had given its assurances that the 2022 application process would handle student applications efficiently and seamlessly. According to Nzimande, NSFAS funding for university and TVET college bursaries for poor and working class students increased by 107% from R20-billion in 2018 to R42-billion in 2021. The 2020 academic year saw 751 858 fully-subsidised third year students, 489 912 of whom were university students and 261 404 of whom were TVET college students. The total number of university students funded, including funding from other government departments, increased by 45.4% from 346 966 students funded in 2018 to 504 366 students funded in 2020. “These indeed are not small numbers in terms of government assistance to students at university and TVET colleges. In essence what I would like to say is that indeed there is free higher education for the children of the working class and the poor in this country,” Nzimande said. Sharing the overall student demographic profile he said university and TVET college students in 2020 comprised of 92.9% African students, 4.2% Coloured students, 0.9% white students, 0.7% Indian students and 1.4 % others. Nzimande pointed out that NSFAS had been particularly effective at targeting female students, who constituted 61.5% of all students funded – in 2018 this was 61.4%. He highlighted this as a huge achievement in terms of affirming women in post school education and training. However, the Minister noted a 26% decrease in funding for students with disabilities and promised to give it focused attention. In the 2020 academic year, NSFAS funded 1 421 university students with disabilities compared to 1 921 students in the prior year. Students with disabilities who qualify for funding fall within the maximum threshold of up to R600 000 of combined gross family income a year. Nzimande stressed that the system had been improved and assured students that the new changes would make the application process smooth and glitch-free.

Ladies a gents, this is a special one for me. A filming legend from New Zealand but based in Japan, enriched by the [automotive] culture - Luke Huxham. This was a lovely conversation that stretched from Tampa to Tokyo crushing my previous record with one of my close friends from Canada ironically named Lucas lol. Back on topic, Luke is behind some of my favorite automotive films such as the Redbull-F40 ski slope climb, the Hakone turnpike run featuring a retired Z4 GT3 and Kawabata piloting the fuck out of a R35 over the most gorgeous geography. There is a certain style of filming that really hits the heart, a very serious cinematicly gorgeous perception that really introduces you to different understanding of how things can be shown. He doesn't fuck around with the extent it takes to film the angle perfecting the scene. He uses a C6 RS6 avant as his camera car. I should end with that. Listen to this episode, tell your friends, follow Luke- and enjoy.lukehuxham.com Intro & exit track provided by the talented @ArifOmariandFranklin production squad. Thanks gents
