This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. President Cyril Ramaphosa has provided some additional background to the Climate Change Response Fund, the formation of which he announced in his recent State of the Nation Address. Writing in his weekly newsletter, the President said the fund would seek to mobilise public and private finances to build greater climate resiliency, amid a rise in deadly extreme weather events and increased loss and damage to domestic infrastructure. "This includes climate-proofing existing essential infrastructure and facilities such as water and food systems, roads, rail and ports, human settlements and health care. "The fund will also collaborate with a variety of partners to respond to immediate needs in communities following climate change-related disasters," he added. The fund has been developed following the decision at COP28, which took place in the United Arab Emirates last year, to operationalise a Loss and Damage Fund, as well as the African Union Commission's establishment of a Climate Finance Unit in recognition of the continent's "extreme vulnerability to the effects of global warming". While highlighting wildfires in the Western Cape, heatwaves in the Northern Cape, continuing drought conditions in the Eastern Cape and intense storms in Gauteng, the President's letter also noted the reoccurence of flooding this year "even before we could properly recover and rebuild after the 2022 floods in KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and North West". "The insurance industry is warning about the increasing costs of disaster risk finance, and even talking about the prospect of highly vulnerable regions eventually becoming uninsurable." The Climate Change Response Fund would form part of what was described as a "comprehensive response to climate change" that included both adaptation and measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The new fund would focus on adaptation, while the mitigation measures would be coordinated under the banner of the Just Energy Transition Investment Plan. Speaking at a Presidential Climate Commission meeting last week, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy said the Climate Change Response Fund would be a "channel" for financial resources that could be made available to developing countries following the recent operationalisation of a Loss and Damage Fund. Creecy said consideration was being given to hosting the fund either at the Development Bank of Southern Africa or the Industrial Development Corporation but provided no timeframe from its implementation. She also confirmed that government would set aside some resources to capitalise the fund but indicated that the intention was to also crowd-in private finance in a manner similar to the Solidarity Fund that was set up during the Covid-19 pandemic. Resources secured for the fund could also be used to strengthen the country's early-warning systems for detecting extreme weather events, with Creecy noting that there were growing domestic and international examples of how the use of such systems had been effective in preventing the loss of life. Adaptation efforts, the Minister added, could also help ensure that climate-related loss and damage did not become a "bottomless pit" for municipalities and provinces, which currently relied on disaster-management allocations to finance relief efforts. "As a country we cannot be complacent about climate change because its impacts are already with us," Ramaphosa warned in his newsletter.

Climate Change Response Fund to channel resources to adaptation, early-warning systems - Creecy

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister Barbara Creecy reports that the Climate Change Response Fund announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address (SoNA) has been established to support the development of early-warning systems, as well as for adaptation projects to improve the climate resiliency of infrastructure amid the growing threats posed by extreme weather events. Addressing the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) in Johannesburg, Creecy said that there was also potential to use the fund as a "channel" for financial resources that could be made available to developing countries following the recent operationalisation of a loss and damage fund. The loss and damage fund was established at the recent COP28 climate talks, held in the United Arab Emirates, where initial funding commitments of $700-million were announced. In his SoNA speech, Ramaphosa highlighted several recent climate-related disasters, including "devastating wildfires in the Western Cape, destructive floods in KwaZulu-Natal, unbearable heatwaves in the Northern Cape, persistent drought in the Eastern Cape, and intense storms in Gauteng". He said the Climate Change Response Fund would be established to help "build our resilience and respond to the impacts of climate change" but did not provide further details, including on where it would be housed and how it would be funded. Creecy told the PCC that consideration was being given to hosting the fund either at the Development Bank of Southern Africa or the Industrial Development Corporation, but provided no timeframe from its implementation. She confirmed that government would set aside some resources to capitalise the fund but indicated that the intention was to also crowd-in private finance in a manner similar to the Solidarity Fund that was set up during the Covid-19 pandemic. Resources secured for the fund would be used to strengthen the country's early-warning systems for detecting extreme weather events, with Creecy noting that there were growing domestic and international examples of how the use of such systems had been effective in preventing the loss of life. Proceeds would also be directed towards adapting infrastructure to make it more resilient to events such as wildfires and floods, as well as to safeguard water and food security in the aftermath of weather-related disasters. Such adaptation efforts, the Minister added, could also help ensure that climate-related loss and damage did not become a "bottomless pit" for municipalities and provinces, which currently relied on disaster-management allocations to finance relief efforts. Creecy also indicated that the Climate Change Response Fund would complement the Just Energy Transition Implementation Plan (JET-IP), which was focused on climate mitigation investments rather than adaptation. Ramaphosa announced in his SoNA that financing pledges for the JET-IP had increased from about R170-billion to almost R240-billion, amid growing calls for the proceeds to be used specifically for energy-related or upliftment projects. The bulk of the JET-IP transfers to date having been directed to the National Treasury in the form of policy loans that have been used to lower the overall cost of borrowing.

my response to a colleague's concern about feeling saturated by the omni presence of eco-awareness informationTRANSCRIPTION OF EPISODE(bell and breath)(sound of two climate shows at once then fade out)I was talking with a colleague recently about how few people listen to ‘end of the world as we know it' podcasts, such as this one.And I think it's because they're so … fucking, depressing and grim. We are constantly reminded how awful things are and how much more awful they will become, with no credible way out. SaturatedI used to think that art could help us with these entangled crises but I'm starting to think the role of art is more about the relationship between consolation and hope as my friend and colleague Azul Caroline Duque suggests. Consolation and hope. So it's no wonder that we are:Saturated, saturationI also understand the impulse to become enraged as Joan Sullivan tells us in e106 fire - what can we do about our collective indifference? :We're just carrying on with our lives as if you know, la la la and nothing, nothing bad is happening. So there was this sense of rage. I mean, like, honestly, it's surprising how strong it'd be in a violent rage just sort of coming outta me. I wanted to scream… SaturationSo how do we channel our apathy and our rage? (In between the chorus)Dr. Jennifer Atkinson's Facing It podcast talks about the ‘emotional burden of climate change and why despair leaves so many people unable to respond to our existential threat'.Do you feel unable to respond to existential threats?Dr Atkinson reminds us that ‘our future remains unwritten, and by embracing the unknown we are better able to reframe our thinking in empowering ways'.She explains that ‘the so-called negative feelings that arise in response to ecological disruption (grief, anxiety, anger) can be seen as signs of emotional health, while ‘undesirable' states, like uncertainty, are potential doorways to transformation. Climate anxiety might even be seen as a kind of superpower.'SaturationIn Generation Dread, Dr. Britt Wray reminds us that the age of eco-anxiety is upon us and that the afterglow of climate disasters radiate psychiatric trauma throughout the globe. She also notes that ‘on the flip side, the tumultuous feelings that are on the rise are completely valid, need tending to, and present a great opportunity for justice-oriented personal, environmental, and social transformation.‘So where do we go from here? How do we address our feelings of…SaturationDr Wray also suggests that ‘the positive in all this is that the torment comes bearing gifts.

On this second episode of the decolonial series, we move to Portugal, one of the most important European ex-colonial powers, to gain knowledge on the meanings given to decoloniality in the land of Pessoa. In the interview to Onésio Intumbo Ferreira, a Portuguese photographer and sociologist born and partly raised in Guinea Bissau, we will be talking about art and photography as a decolonial methodology. Radical decolonization implies the rehabilitation of ancient forms and the promotion of new forms of knowledge and the emergence of non-western solidarities among the subalterns. Memorial redress and indigenous epistemological representations are invoked to fight binary oppositions and hierarchies between the whites and the non-whites, the center and the periphery, those deemed superiors or inferiors.

Govt paid out R2.4bn so far to businesses affected by July unrest

The July 2021 unrest and the floods in KwaZulu-Natal in April this year have seen the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (dtic) and its entities make available R3.5-billion in support. The dtic on Tuesday briefed the Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition on the support package to aid economic recovery given the impact of the unrest and the floods. They shared that R2.4-billion - or 80% of the R3-billion approved by the department and its entities - has been disbursed to businesses affected by the unrest. Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition Fikile Majola explained that while the physical damage of the unrest was limited to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, its economic impacts were widespread. As a response, the dtic and its entities developed an Economic Support Package of R3.75-billion. The package is funded through the reprioritisation of budgets within the dtic to the value of R700-million. National Treasury had made an allocation of R1.3-billion. The Industrial Development Corporation, an entity of the dtic, reprioritised and allocated R1.5-billion, and the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) allocated R250-million. The Solidarity Fund later provided the NEF with an additional R273-million. The support has been made available in the form of grants and concessionary loans or bridging finance to cover cash-flow challenges until the payouts from claims with the South African Special Insurance Risk Association (Sasria) are finalised. In its presentation, the department indicated that R3-billion had been approved for the applications made, and R2.4-billion has been disbursed so far. In some cases where construction is undertaken, or new equipment and machinery are ordered – payment is made after the completion of work. The disbursements, therefore, are expected to increase throughout the year. A total of 2 400 enterprises were supported – and over 2 600 sites were covered as, in some instances, individual firms had several of their sites affected. Over 45 000 jobs had also been supported. Businesses across different sectors such as manufacturing, retail, construction, agriculture and agro-processing, transportation, information and communication and the automotive industry benefitted from funds from the IDC. Several small-scale and large retailers were supported. Among those include rural and informal traders and small businesses who benefitted from R154-million grant funding. Over 1 800 business entities were supported, and about 7 100 jobs were saved. The IDC also provided grants of R7-million to 142 sugarcane growers in KwaZulu-Natal and over 6 500 jobs were saved. Over R12-million was approved for a black-owned company Wired Hardwares, which is a franchisee of Build-IT. Two Build-IT hardware stores in KwaZulu-Natal – one in KwaMashu and another in Inanda, that employed people from surrounding settlements - were looted, damaged and destroyed. However, thanks to the support provided, the Inanda store began trading again in March 2022, and the one in KwaMashu started trading again in late July. All 50 jobs were retained. A woman-owned business, Wildfire Trading, which owns an Engen franchise in Alexandra, Gauteng, was looted and damaged. A total of R2.5-million was approved to renovate the site, which had been vandalised. A total of 29 jobs were saved. Businesswoman Kedibone Lebethe, who owns 30 KFC outlets, having started off as a fryer, benefitted of R40.5-million needed to repair nine outlets across Gauteng that were damaged, looted and, in some cases, completely burnt down. In total, 14 outlets were affected. Her company KPML Group employs over 1 000 staff, mostly women and youth. The support helped the group reemploy 550 workers. The department has also supported infrastructure rebuilding programmes which covered six shopping centres, such as Protea Glen Shopping Centre in Gauteng and KwaMashu Shopping Centre in KwaZulu-Natal. Six other industrial sites also applied for funding. Close to...

WELCOME TO THE END OF THE SUMMER OF LOVE AND THE BEGINNING OF A COUNTERCULTURE DEATHTRIP THAT WILL SCARE YOU TO DEATH! After Night of the Living Dead (1968) and before the slasher boom of the early ‘80s, American horror went through one of its most creative and influential eras. But, for every Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Carrie (1976), and Halloween (1978), there were dozens of under-the-radar oddities that took years – sometimes decades – to be recognized by cult audiences for their unique contributions to American horror. Join Gabe and special guest Bill Ackerman of the Supporting Characters podcast and numerous Blu-ray commentary tracks as they explore a collection of independent horror films from the era, including John Hayes' Dream No Evil (1970), John Hancock's Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971), Alan Rudolph's Premonition (1972), Robert Altman's Images (1972), and Richard Blackburn's Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973).

Between 2010 and 2015, the family produced wine as an interest rather than for commercial purposes. In 2016 Thornton Pillay joined Highgate and the wine making process was officially professional. Thornton having studied as a Wine Maker and Viticulturist in Stellenbosch, worked at Ernie els wines, Groot Constantia, KWV and in France (Burgundy), now became the Wine Maker & Viticulturist at Highgate Wine Estate taking the farm to a fully functioning wine estate. The opportunity then arose to build a Tasting Room to showcase and present the premium wines Thornton created. In 2016 Thornton bottled the first commercially produced wines of 1500 bottles.

With approximately 95% of all our vineyards being Unirrigated (dry land) and roughly the same percentage being bush vines (i.e. not trellised), this is as close as one can get to what nature intended for grapes to be. These varying factors result in wines that are true to the terroir from which they come and are true to the identity which we have crafted over time for our wines. Investment continues in the winery and cellar with some of the most modern and up to date winemaking equipment in our industry today.
