President Cyril Ramaphosa Concludes Meeting Between the National Executive and the Gauteng Provincial Executive Council
President Cyril Ramaphosa has concluded a meeting between the national executive and the Gauteng provincial executive council. The meeting follows three engagements with the provincial governments of Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
President Ramaphosa intends to visit and engage the leadership of all nine provinces.
The national and provincial executive meetings are aimed at strengthening intergovernmental cooperation, collaboration and consultation. They are also important for ensuring better alignment of provincial priorities with the priorities of the Government of National Unity.
President Ramaphosa urged the province to accelerate the resolution of recurring problems across Gauteng. Some of these include governance failures, financial mismanagement, crumbling infrastructure, crime and lawlessness and unreliable service delivery. This includes broader national challenges—unemployment and poverty. The provision of water across some areas in the province remains a concern.
The province tabled several strategic areas that require support from the national government. These include disaster preparedness, response and recovery in areas affected by sinkholes.
The province also requires more support from law enforcement agencies in responding to threats presented by taxi violence, illegal mining and undocumented foreign nationals.
Other strategic areas of national-provincial cooperation that could stimulate economic development in the province include investment in bulk infrastructure, collaboration in enhancing investment in high-tech manufacturing for the green economy, mining services, biotech and digital sectors and the energy generation and transmission eco-system.
Premier Panyaza Lesufi welcomed the engagement with the national executive and committed to continue working closely with the national government on the priority areas of governance, social and economic development.
The Premier identified the expansion of special economic zones and critical infrastructure refurbishments as vital elements for stimulating economic growth and sustainable service delivery in the province.
In closing, President Ramaphosa commended the province's focus on the areas of cooperation between the national and provincial governments that will be a catalyst for social and economic growth.
The President outlined the importance of balancing development ambitions with budgetary realities.
Furthermore, the President encouraged the province to work closely with the private sector in ensuring innovative ways of funding key infrastructure projects, including working with metros in providing incentives to crowd in private sector participation.

President Ramaphosa kicks off Gauteng oversight visit
President Ramaphosa kicks off Gauteng oversight visit
President Cyril Ramaphosa says the economic success of Gauteng Province is crucial to the overall success of the country.
The President was addressing the Gauteng Provincial Government and the National Executive during an oversight visit to the province, on Thursday.
Gauteng is home to the financial capital of Africa in the form of Johannesburg, while Tshwane is South Africa’s administrative capital, and Ekurhuleni is an industrial and manufacturing hub critical to the country’s supply chains.
“Gauteng’s unique position in the national landscape is both an opportunity and a challenge. While it may be the smallest province in terms of land size, it is a giant in many other respects.
“Gauteng contributes the largest share of any province to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. It is the single most critical economic hub in the country, serving as a powerhouse of finance, governance, industry and innovation.
“The economic success of Gauteng is integral to the economic success of South Africa. It is here in Gauteng where our policies, plans and commitments must translate into action,” President Ramaphosa said.
Resolving challenges
During the State of the Province Address (SOPA) last week, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi pinpointed 13 challenges the provincial government must address. These include:
- Water
- Cable theft and vandalism
- Non-functional traffic lights
- Potholes
- Crime and lawlessness
- Mushrooming of informal settlements
- Electricity in particular load shedding and load reduction in our communities
- Increase in Gender Based Violence and Femicide
- Drug abuse
- Service at our hospitals and clinics
- Lack of schools
- Failing infrastructure and CBDs
- Unemployment
During his remarks today, the President expressed consensus with the Premier.
“Premier, we also agree with you that if we do not move with speed to address the critical challenges identified in the State of the Province Address, we risk undermining the progress we have made.
“There are recurring problems across Gauteng. Some of these include governance failures, financial mismanagement, crumbling infrastructure, crime and lawlessness, as well as unreliable service delivery. These are the challenges that are also articulated in your G13 list which…if we do not address, we will not have served our people well.
“Our greatest challenges – in Gauteng and across the country – are in the end, unemployment and poverty. These are the challenges we all must face head on,” President Ramaphosa said.
Changing lives
The President also emphasised that the outcomes from the oversight visit must improve the lives of Gauteng citizens.
“What emerges from this meeting must not remain as just plans on paper. The outcomes of this meeting must be transformed into practical, measurable interventions that directly benefit the people of Gauteng.
“Through a collaborative and solutions-oriented approach, we will drive sustainable development, improve service delivery and enhance the quality of life for all who call this province home.
“Let us seize this moment with urgency and determination, ensuring that every commitment made here today is followed by decisive action,” he said.
The engagement with the provincial government is the fourth oversight visit, following engagements with the provincial governments of Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
“These engagements are crucial in strengthening intergovernmental cooperation, collaboration and consultation. They are important for ensuring better alignment of provincial priorities with the priorities of the Government of National Unity (GNU).
“Cooperative governance is a constitutional principle. It requires that, as different spheres of government, we must cooperate with one another in mutual trust and good faith. We must assist and support each other and coordinate our actions,” he said.
Human Rights Month
President Ramaphosa noted that as the national executive conducts its oversight visit to Gauteng, the country is commemorating Human Rights Month.
He highlighted that Human Rights Month is “particularly relevant in the context of our discussions today”.
“The right to water, sanitation, healthcare, housing and education are fundamental to the well-being of our communities. It is our duty to ensure that these rights are not just enshrined in our Constitution but are actively realised through tangible and impactful service delivery.
“People should not only be aware of their right to these services but should actively experience them in their daily lives. We therefore have to continue to harness the power of collaboration to overcome obstacles and implement sustainable solutions that will uplift our communities.
“Through unity and action, we must create a future where the rights of all South Africans are upheld, and where every citizen can access the quality services they rightfully deserve,” President Ramaphosa said.
The month of March is a heightened period in South Africa to mark Human Rights Month, commemorated under the 2025 theme, “Deepening a culture of social justice and human rights”. – SAnews.gov.za

SA hosts first G20 Tourism Working Group meeting
SA hosts first G20 Tourism Working Group meeting
Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille has urged the G20 to find ways to use tourism to change the lives of communities around the world.
“As you convene during the first Tourism Working Group, I implore on all delegates to focus on how we can use tourism to change people’s lives, communities and the world,” she said in a video-recorded message.
The Minister was addressing the first G20 Tourism Working Group meeting held virtually from the Head Office of the Department of International Relations and Co-operation (DIRCO) in Pretoria.
Wednesday’s meeting was the first of a series of engagements that will take place throughout the year, ahead of the G20 Tourism Ministers’ Meeting in September 2025.
“South Africa is excited to welcome all G20 delegates, member states and organisations to our beautiful country and proud to host the G20 for the first time,” she said.
The Director-General at the department, Nkhumeleni Victor Vele, chaired the meeting which was attended by senior officials and experts in the tourism sector of the G20 countries, invited guest countries and international organisations.
At the meeting, delegates deliberated on and agreed to work on four priorities for the year namely:
• People-Centered Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Innovation to enhance Travel and Tourism Start-Ups and SMMEs,
• Tourism Financing and Investment to Enhance Equality and Promote Sustainable Development,
• Air Connectivity for Seamless Travel, and
• Enhanced Resilience for Inclusive, Sustainable Tourism Development.
The Tourism Working Group will exchange knowledge and best practices among the member countries with a view of crafting actionable deliverables. The group is among the 16 working groups of the G20 during South Africa’s Presidency focusing on solidarity, equality and sustainability.
In its statement, the Department of Tourism said that as the first African country to preside over the G20 Presidency, South Africa is utilising its term to drive a developmental agenda to benefit the African continent.
Going forward, the following G20 Tourism Meetings are planned in South Africa:
• 2nd G20 Tourism Working Group Meeting from 11 to 13 May 2025 in KwaZulu Natal province.
• 3rd G20 Tourism Working Group Meeting from 10 to 11 September 2025 in Mpumalanga.
• G20 Tourism Ministers’ Meeting on 12 September 2025 in Mpumalanga.
The G20 economies represent around 85% of the global gross domestic product (GDP), over 75% of the global trade and about two-thirds of the world population.
In 2023, the G20 welcomed 69% of all international tourists and accounted for 71% of tourism exports worldwide. In 2023 Tourism Direct GDP reached 3.1% of the G20 economies.
The department added that tourism plays a critical role in the global economy and is one of the vital economic sectors contributing significantly to socio-economic development but remains vulnerable to natural and manmade hazards.
For many countries, the tourism economy is growing faster than most other economic sectors. With its extensive value chain and labour absorption capacity, it is acknowledged as a tool for inclusive economic development, playing a significant role in responding to socioeconomic challenges.
“Tourism is an important economic sector in Africa. In 2023 the continent’s tourism direct gross domestic product reached 85 US billion [dollars] representing 3.5% of the region’s GDP. This value is still below the pre-pandemic 94 US billion [dollars] reached in 2019 (4.3% share).”
The challenges facing the African travel and tourism sector include air connectivity, limited investments, financing for tourism development, positioning and marketing, social and environmental sustainability, as well as safety and security, among others.
South Africa’s tourism priorities for the 2025 G20 Presidency are aligned with the continental priorities as expressed in Agenda 2063 as well as with the core objectives contained in the UN Tourism Agenda for Africa – Tourism for Inclusive Growth, the strategic roadmap guiding the promotion of sustainable tourism development across the African continent.
The meeting also appreciated South Africa’s intention to build on the efforts and successes of the last three G20 Presidencies of the Global South and to champion Africa’s developmental agenda. – SAnews.gov.za

Whistleblowers a cornerstone in fighting corruption
Whistleblowers a cornerstone in fighting corruption
The South African government will introduce the Whistleblower Protection Bill in Parliament this year in a demonstration of support for those who speak out against the scourge of corruption.
This according to Department of Public Service and Administration Minister, Inkosi Mzamo Buthelezi.
Buthelezi was addressing the media on the outcomes of the inaugural meeting of the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) Technical Meeting held this week.
“We must…recognise the indispensable role of whistleblowers in uncovering corruption. Their courage in exposing wrongdoing often comes at a significant personal risk. Therefore, enhancing whistleblower protection remains at the top of our priorities as government.
“South Africa is set to introduce the Whistleblower Protection Bill in Parliament this year reinforcing our commitment to strengthen legal safeguards for those who report corruption.
“We do this knowing very well that whistleblowers are the cornerstone of our fight against corruption,” he said.
Buthelezi described the ACWG technical meeting – which was attended by representatives from the G20 countries – as a “cornerstone in our roadmap to combat corruption”.
“These discussions will culminate in the G20 Anti-Corruption ministerial meeting where members states will reaffirm their commitment to the primary objective of the [ACWG] which is to eradicate corruption through inter alia, strengthening the public sector by promoting transparency, accountability and ethical leadership and by fostering international cooperation,” the Minister said.
During the meeting of the ACWG, South Africa called for international cooperation in fighting corruption.
“We emphasised the importance of international cooperation and explored mechanisms to enhance the implementation of…legal instruments which G20 members have endorsed.
“A unified and coordinated global response is critical to closing the gaps that allow corruption to thrive. Deliberations focused on harmonising national laws with international standards to create a robust legislation that enhances legal recourse and restores public confidence in our justice system.
“Establishing uniform standards across G20 countries is essential for effective cross border against corruption,” Buthelezi said.
He emphasised the importance of transparency in the public sector as another critical tool in combatting the scourge.
“The meeting also highlighted the need for greater transparency in the public sector including enhancing transparency, accountability and ethical leadership mechanisms.
“Transparency is…a powerful tool in combatting corruption as it reduces opportunity for misconduct and fostering a culture of integrity,” he said.
The Minister said the meeting this week has laid a “robust foundation for the next phases of our work”.
The next meetings of the ACWG will be held in Brazil and Mpumalanga.
“As we prepare for the upcoming meetings…our focus will remain on building consensus around actionable commitments that go beyond policy declarations and resulting in tangible action against corruption.
“Maintaining open and transparent communication about our progress is very important. The fight against corruption is not just a legal or institutional challenge, but also a battle for public trust.
“By keeping our citizens informed and engaged, we reinforce the message that corruption has no place in our societies and that integrity will be the cornerstone of governance worldwide,” Buthelezi said. – SAnews.gov.za

The Mpumalanga Premier, Mandla Ndlovu, has welcomed Maggie Skhosana as the newly appointed Director-General in the Office of the Premier.
Skhosana assumed her responsibilities on Monday. She has a wealth of experience as a government administrator.

Next generation of scholars gathering to shape Africa’s future
Next generation of scholars gathering to shape Africa’s future
Research-based insights and collaboration on finding solutions to Africa’s most urgent challenges will be at the heart of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC)’s 19th Africa Young Graduates and Scholars (AYGS) Conference.
The conference which gets underway tomorrow, is being held in collaboration with the University of Mpumalanga (UMP).
Under the theme “Enabling Africa’s Inclusive and Sustainable Development: Challenges and Opportunities,” the conference will gather over 100 young and emerging scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from various regions of Africa to share research-based insights and collaborate on solutions to the continent’s most urgent challenges.
The gathering will take place at UMP’s Mbombela campus from 4 to 6 March 2025.
“We are excited to provide a platform for Africa’s next generation of leaders to engage, share knowledge, and shape the continent’s future,” said the Executive Head at the HSRC’s Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA), Dr Sabelo Gumedze.
He believes that the AYGS Conference has the potential to contribute significantly to Africa’s developmental trajectory, and said they were looking forward to fostering innovative solutions, enhancing capacity, and informing policy decisions with research-based insights.
Meanwhile, the UMP Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation, Professor Aldo Stroebel, said the university was privileged to partner with the HSRC and other prominent stakeholders to engage and strengthen an opportunity framework for emerging scholars through critical thinking and policy impact.
“UMP benefits from this convening to further advance our focus on sustainability and innovation, building a strong base of intellectual engagement, international networks, and learning,” Stroebel added.
The conference will feature sessions covering various topics such as advancing agricultural sustainability and food security.
The panellists will also zoom into governance, peace, and security in enabling Africa’s inclusive and sustainable development; climate change action and the Just Transition; and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to drive Africa’s development priorities.
Meanwhile, more than 30 papers will be presented by scholars from over 15 countries, including Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The annual AYGS conference is a research capacity-building project that was conceived in 2005 to build a body of knowledge and to project the African “voice” into various global discussions.
It is further intended to bridge the existing expertise gap in knowledge production on African affairs by developing a society of knowledge producers among the youth.
The conference, which features a comprehensive programme including a pre-conference training workshop on policy-engaged research and open science, is hosted by the HSRC’s Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) in collaboration with the UMP, the National Research Foundation’s (NRF) Future Earth Africa Hub Leadership Centre, the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), and other key partners. – SAnews.gov.za

Ministry provides update on Foot and Mouth Disease
Ministry provides update on Foot and Mouth Disease
The Ministry of Agriculture has encouraged livestock farmers across the country to limit animal movement as much as possible given the ongoing presence of Foot and Mouth Disease viruses in KwaZulu-Natal.
“The department recently received test results confirming the ongoing presence of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) viruses in KwaZulu-Natal Province. Cattle at a dip tank in Mtubatuba have tested positive for FMD.
“These cattle showed clinical signs of FMD in December, prompting sample collection, and laboratory results confirmed the introduction of a SAT1 FMD virus into the area,” it said in a statement on Friday.
Given that a SAT2 FMD event has been ongoing in the region since 2021, further investigations were conducted, confirming that the detected SAT1 virus is similar to one recently identified in the northern part of the Kruger National Park.
Over the past two weeks, clinical signs of FMD have also been observed in districts around Vryheid and Newcastle Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of the FMD virus, with virus typing still in progress to determine whether these outbreaks were caused by a SAT1 or SAT2 strain.
Control measures within the Disease Management Area (DMA) remain unchanged.

The Ministry said the affected dip tanks remain under quarantine, and vaccination efforts in the area continue. The vaccine being used covers all three FMD SAT strains. Dip tanks in newly affected areas have also been placed under quarantine.
“These outbreaks highlight the persistent threat of FMD and the critical need for stringent control measures to prevent its spread. Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen stressed the importance of strict compliance with biosecurity protocols and urged farmers and livestock owners to promptly report any suspected cases to veterinary authorities.”
Additionally, it reminded livestock owners that control measures implemented nationwide since October 2022 must be strictly followed to reduce the risk of further spread.
These measures include:
• Cloven-hoofed livestock across South Africa may only be moved if accompanied by a health declaration from the owner, confirming the animals’ health at the time of movement.
• Any newly introduced cattle, sheep, or goats must be kept separate from resident herds for at least 28 days.
“All livestock farmers across the country are strongly encouraged to limit animal movement as much as possible. Auctioneers and livestock owners should be particularly cautious when purchasing cloven-hoofed animals from provinces with active FMD outbreaks. No cloven-hoofed animals should be accepted from areas under FMD restrictions in KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga provinces.”
The Ministry added that Section 11 of the Animal Diseases Act imposes a legal duty on all animal owners or managers to take reasonable steps to prevent their animals from becoming infected and to prevent the spread of any disease from their animals or property to others.-SAnews.gov.za

Load shedding suspension remains on the horizon
Load shedding suspension remains on the horizon
Repairs at Eskom’s Majuba power station in Mpumalanga has placed the country closer to the suspension of load shedding, Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, the Minister reassured South Africans that the implementation of load shedding at the weekend was not due to sabotage, but technical issues.
“We are going to have a review later this evening and then we can make an announcement, a promise we make, is a promise we will keep,” Ramokgopa said at an engagement held in Johannesburg.
The Minister explained that despite 300 consecutive days of uninterrupted power supply, recent setbacks occurred, including the loss of five generation units at Majuba and four units at Camden power stations.
He added that the setback experienced at the weekend where the power utility implemented Stages 3 and 6 of load shedding were regrettable.
“The setbacks we experienced are regrettable, but we are now able to bounce back, we are coming back much faster than we thought. It is important that we have the lights on for the South African economy,” the Minister said.
Ramokgopa’s comments come as Eskom is currently implementing Stage 2 load shedding from Monday’s Stage 4.
At a briefing on Sunday, the Minister assured the nation that the country will overcome the current bout of load shedding by the end of the week.

Traditional leaders urged to help build a better SA
Traditional leaders urged to help build a better SA
President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on traditional leaders to work alongside the Government of National Unity (GNU) in shaping a prosperous and inclusive future for South Africa.
Addressing the annual opening of the National House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders (NHTKL) at the Good Hope Centre in Cape Town, the President reaffirmed the vital role of traditional leadership in the country’s development.
“As the Government of National Unity, I once again call on Amakhosi to join hands with us as we embark on a new, glorious future for South Africa and its people,” said President Ramaphosa said on Tuesday.
The National House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders comprises traditional leaders who are delegates from the Provincial Houses of Traditional Leaders of South Africa and represent the Provincial Houses at national level.
He highlighted the historical significance of traditional leadership, noting that traditional leaders support governance in many rural and peri-urban communities, often facing the harshest conditions of poverty, inequality, and climate change.
The President expressed concern over the recent devastating floods in KwaZulu-Natal, which led to loss of life and destruction of property and infrastructure. He urged Amakhosi to work with disaster management teams to protect rural communities from extreme weather events.
“The recent floods in parts of KwaZulu-Natal have led to loss of life, damage to farming land, and the destruction of property and infrastructure. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the affected communities.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on you as Amakhosi to work with the disaster management response teams in our provinces and support the work that is being done to protect our rural communities against extreme weather,” he said.

Killings
President Ramaphosa strongly condemned the increasing assassinations of traditional leaders, calling the attacks an “affront to our nation".
He referenced the recent killing of Contralesa NEC member and Ndzundza-Fene Traditional Council Chairperson, Kosi Thugwana, in Mpumalanga, stressing that such violence must be rooted out.
“Even one killing is one too many. Be assured that our law enforcement agencies are working around the clock to ensure that the perpetrators of these heinous crime are brought to book.”
Shared prosperity
The President reiterated the government’s commitment to working with traditional and Khoi-San leaders to foster unity and development. He also emphasised the importance of their participation in the upcoming National Dialogue, a platform aimed at fostering inclusivity and shaping the country’s future.
He said that government will rely on the traditional leaders’ guidance to rally people towards a future of shared prosperity and inclusivity.
“It will be important that traditional leaders and the communities they lead [to] participate in the National Dialogue so that the process produces a plan that reflects the interests and aspirations of everyone.
“The Medium Term Development Plan that we have adopted as the Government of National Unity intends to advance three strategic priorities: to drive inclusive growth and job creation, to reduce poverty and tackle the high cost of living and to build a capable, ethical and developmental state,” the President explained.
He also highlighted ongoing consultations to review the White Paper on Local Government and emphasised the role of Amakhosi in shaping policies that affect rural communities.
The Deputy President has been mandated to facilitate dialogues with traditional leaders, further strengthening collaboration between government and traditional institutions.
Legislative developments
Following the Constitutional Court’s ruling that declared the Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act unconstitutional, the President confirmed that steps were being taken to reintroduce a revised bill in Parliament.
He urged traditional leaders to actively participate in consultations to ensure their interests are reflected in the legislation.
In addition, President Ramaphosa addressed the longstanding issue of customary initiation practices, particularly in the Eastern Cape, where fatalities and injuries continue to be a concern.
The government has gazetted regulations for public comment and is working towards drafting guidelines to regulate initiation school fees and prevent exploitation.
READ | Hlabisa and traditional leaders discuss safer customary initiation plan
Turning to the issue of land reform and economic development, the President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to land reform, noting the passage of the Expropriation Act as part of efforts to ensure that land is equitably shared.
The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development has completed its work on the Communal Land Tenure Bill and is set to conduct public consultations.
Tackling gender-based violence and Forum of Majesties
The President urged Amakhosi to take a stand against gender-based violence and femicide, emphasising that such crimes have no place in African culture. He commended the House for its existing initiatives and called for greater involvement in protecting women and children.
“We know that such violence is not part of any culture. Violence against women and children is not part of the nation we want to build.”
Turning to traditional leadership, President Ramaphosa welcomed the launch of the Forum of South Africa’s Majesties, chaired by His Majesty King Makhosonke II, and acknowledged efforts to establish a similar platform for Queens.
He also encouraged traditional leaders to continue engaging with government ministries, particularly in sectors such as mineral resources, to ensure communities benefit from the country’s natural wealth.
G20 and National Budget
With South Africa set to host the G20 Summit for the first time later this year, the President urged traditional leaders to use the opportunity to showcase the nation’s diverse cultural heritage.
He also addressed the postponement of the Budget Speech, explaining that further discussions were necessary to align the priorities of the multi-party GNU.

“In the interests of consensus-building, we are undertaking further discussions so that we can arrive at a budget that everyone can have confidence in a budget that promotes inclusive growth, supports job creation and that tackles poverty and inequality,” he said.
The President further emphasised that despite many challenges, it is through cooperation and partnership that a better South Africa can be built in which everyone enjoys equal opportunity and can lead lives of dignity. – SAnews.gov.za

Sustainability of black farmers is crucial for SA’s sugar industry
Sustainability of black farmers is crucial for SA’s sugar industry
Government is committed to ensuring that the more than 24 000 black small-scale sugarcane farmers remain an integral part of the multi-billion-rand sugar industry, Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen said.
The industry is the bedrock of rural economies in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
Steenhuisen met with a number of small-scale growers and the sugar industry leadership at KwaShukela in Mount Edgecombe, Durban.
“The sustainability of the small-scale sugarcane farmers must remain one of the main priorities for both government and the industry. I am passionate about the cause of small-scale farmers to ensure their growth and success. You are part of the agriculture family, and we regard you as very important stakeholders in agriculture," said the Minister on Friday.
The leadership of the sugar industry at the meeting was led by the South African Sugar Association (SASA), the South African Farmers Development Association, SA Canegrowers and South African Sugar Millers’ Association.
SASA has been at the forefront of the efforts aimed at securing the sustainability of the small-scale sugarcane farmers (SSGs).
“The dire situation of SSGs necessitated a decisive intervention by SASA and industry leaders, hence the installation of the billion-rand empowerment plan. An average of 13 349 SSGs per season have benefited from the Transformation Intervention Fund since the 2019/2020 season,” the Ministry of Agriculture said.
It added that SASA has spent R1.09 billion on empowerment interventions/initiatives, especially for the benefit of black small-scale growers.
Of the R1.09 billion, SSGs received R700.55 million (64.27%), black large-scale growers (LSGs) received R254.47 million (25.22%) and the value of other interventions for black beneficiaries amounted to R137.88 million (12.64%).
Furthermore, the extension of empowerment funding (R238.9 million for the current season) will continue to have a positive impact on SSGs and black growers in general. Two major categories of interventions exist – cane delivery-based and non-delivery-based interventions.
“The condition for receiving this cane delivery-based grant funding is for growers to be active farmers who deliver sugarcane.
“Besides the cane delivery-based grant funding to black growers, further funding examples include the R46.5 million infrastructure rehabilitation project in the Nkomazi region, Mpumalanga (which has greatly benefited SSGs and led to 300 hectares of cane being established), the R3.3 million SSG-driven rail siding initiative in Mkhuze, KwaZulu-Natal (making it possible for 70 000 tons of SSG cane to be transported to the Felixton Mill for the Makhathini-based growers at a significantly lower transport cost) and the installation of a dummy spiller (R7.6 million) at the Gledhow Sugar Mill for cane delivery by SSGs, which reduced SSG hauler turnaround times and transport costs.”
Sugarcane Value Chain Master Plan
Phase One of the Sugarcane Value Chain Master Plan to 2030 has cemented the foundational role of SSGs.
A minimum of R60 million of the Premium Price Payment (PPP) to SSGs as part of the Master Plan, for a period of three seasons (2021/2022 to 2023/2024), was allocated, escalating annually to R68 051 340 in the 2023/2024 season.
The 2023/2024 season was the last year of the PPP. However, on 20 March 2024, SASA Council approved the extension of PPP to 2024/2025 with an inflationary adjustment, meaning the allocation for this season is R71.08 million.
Through the Master Plan processes, the industry has been able to pinpoint challenges or factors which impede the envisaged growth of SSGs through surveys that engaged more than 2 500 growers. Some of these factors include access to land and capital.
“There are limited opportunities for individual small-scale growers to expand their area under cane due to the lack of access to land and the dispersed distribution of cane farms in the deep rural areas of KZN and Mpumalanga. SASA is focused on ensuring that the lack of economies of scale, long transport distances and high contractor costs, are mitigated by the grants and other support to small-scale growers.”
The Ministry said that the long-term strategy is to ensure that small-scale growers remain in cane farming and are sustainable with improved productivity in the short-term while medium to long-term interventions are being developed.
“The industry is now working on putting together an intervention plan for the improving the livelihoods of SSGs across the industry. This forms part of Phase Two of the Master Plan, which is yet to be signed and implemented, with Phase One having expired on 31 March 2023,” it said. -SAnews.gov.za

Discussion papers on review of Criminal Procedure Act open
Discussion papers on review of Criminal Procedure Act open
Deputy Ministers in the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster have welcomed the publication of the discussion papers on the review of the Criminal Procedure Act, released by the South African Law Reform Commission.
The review seeks to address systemic challenges in the Act, particularly in relation to provisions that deal with arrest, bail, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and victim participation in the criminal justice process.
On Thursday, the South African Law Reform Commission, released at least four discussion papers covering the pre-trial stage on:
- Arrest Dispensation Reform
- Bail System Reform
- Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Victim Centric Reforms
At the release of the discussion papers, Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Andries Nel spoke on the need to transform the justice system.
“We must transform our criminal justice system, including the Criminal Procedure Act, to be more effective, efficient, integrated, victim-cantered and in keeping with the Constitution.
“We must ensure that we generate well-informed, evidence-based dialogue and discussion through national dialogue with the widest participation by practitioners, experts, academics - and most importantly, the people of South Africa cries and concerns raised on their right to be safe and feel safe.
“[The released documents] are only discussion papers produced by the Advisory Committee and released by the Law Reform Commission to engender public debate and discussion and to solicit views and inputs,” Nel said.
The review of the Criminal Procedure Act was initiated in November 2023 by former Minister of Justice and Correctional Services Ronald Lamola and seeks to identify and resolve systemic challenges in the Act.
An advisory committee of experts led by former Judge President of Mpumalanga Justice Francis Legodi was then formulated to advise the Law Reform Commission on the review.
The Justice department said members of the public are encouraged to comment on the discussion documents which are available at https://www.justice.gov.za/salrc/dpapers.htm
“Workshops in the provinces will focus on engaging grassroots communities to get their views on the proposed recommendations.
“Submissions will be studied and considered to refine the final recommendations informed by the experiences of citizens, legal practitioners, academia,” the department said. – SAnews.gov.za

Mpumalanga strengthens fight against GBVF
Mpumalanga strengthens fight against GBVF
Mpumalanga Premier Mandla Ndlovu has launched the Provincial Council on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide that will improve access to essential services for GBVF victims.
Wednesday’s launch in Secunda marked a step forward in the province’s commitment to addressing the deep-seated inequalities and GBVF that plagues communities.
The newly established council will focus on improving access to essential services for GBVF victims, including shelters, counselling, legal support, and healthcare.
It is envisaged that the structure will develop an action plan for the implementation of the Provincial Strategic Plan on GBVF (PSP-GBVF), recently approved by Members of the Executive Council (EXCO).
Ndlovu said the launch affirms the provincial government’s commitment to fight the GBVF pandemic, given the increase in GBVF cases in the province.
Ndlovu said the statistics of sexual offences, which increased from 641 in March 2022 to 746 in March 2023, underscores the urgency of the structure.
“Through the provincial structure, we are bringing together government, civil society, and the private sector to create a collective response to GBVF. The structure will effectively coordinate all GBVF intervention programmes, in our quest to eliminate the pandemic.
“We stand in solidarity with survivors, dedicating ourselves to rebuilding their lives, and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable for their heinous crimes. Justice will be served, and no offender will go unpunished. This initiative is a testament to our unwavering resolve to create a safer, more equitable society for all,” the Premier said.
The council will be constituted by government representatives, with the Premier as a co-Chairperson, the private sector, the civil society, and traditional leadership.
A pledge was signed at the end of the event as a commitment by all stakeholders to fight GBVF.
The launch aligns with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s declaration of GBVF as a national crisis and a second pandemic. – SAnews.gov.za

Hlabisa calls for caution as heavy rains wreak havoc throughout SA
Hlabisa calls for caution as heavy rains wreak havoc throughout SA
The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Velenkosini Hlabisa, has urged all South Africans to remain vigilant as heavy rains continue to fall in various parts of the country.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued warnings of persistent heavy showers since the weekend, impacting the North West, Gauteng, the northern Free State, the highveld areas of Mpumalanga, and southwestern Limpopo.
Rainfall accumulations of 20 to 50mm are expected, with cooler daytime temperatures prevailing in these regions.
“The continued rainfall poses a risk of localised flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, bridges, and roads,” the department warned.
Reports indicate that numerous residences and businesses in the southern area of Durban experienced flooding on Thursday due to intense rainfall, with the province already reporting fatalities.
This follows the South African Weather Service issuing of a level 5 orange warning for significant rainfall in KwaZulu-Natal earlier this week.
In the North West province, heavy rainfall has led to the closure of schools, while flooding has occurred in various locations in Gauteng, including Soweto and Centurion.
Hlabisa has emphasised the necessity of exercising caution as disaster response teams remain on high alert, ready to offer emergency assistance as required.
Meanwhile, according to the department, the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) is actively monitoring the situation and coordinating response efforts with provincial and local authorities to ensure a swift and effective response to any emergencies.
Community members are encouraged to quickly report any emergencies and to help those who might need extra support, such as the elderly and children, to stay safe.
The department also urged everyone to keep an eye on news reports, radio updates, and official social media pages for the latest information and alerts.
“While our dedicated teams are on high alert, the first line of defence is always preparedness. We urge South Africans to not take risks, avoid flooded roads, stay informed, and follow official warnings. The safety of all South Africans during this time remains a priority,” said Hlabisa.
Additionally, Minister Hlabisa encourages all communities to delay their trips to areas with heavy rains if those trips are not urgent and can be delayed for safety purposes.
“Stay safe, stay informed, and remain vigilant,” he added. – SAnews.gov.za

AfCFTA offers SA businesses unlimited opportunities
AfCFTA offers SA businesses unlimited opportunities
The implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) offers businesspeople in South Africa unlimited opportunities to grow their businesses and expand their market into the rest of the continent.
This is according to the Director of Africa Bilateral Economic Relations at the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic), Calvin Phume.
Phume was speaking at a workshop that was hosted by the dtic in partnership with the Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development and Tourism and Gert Sibande District Municipality in Ermelo, Mpumalanga, recently.
The purpose of the workshop was to equip the Mpumalanga businesspeople with information that will enable them to take advantage of opportunities presented by the AfCFTA in order to enter the African export market and expand their businesses into the continent.
“The African Continental Free Trade Agreement has created a single market comprising more than 1.3 billion people that businesspeople across the continent can take advantage of.
“This will provide South African companies with new market access opportunities to key markets in the African continent beyond the Southern Africa Development Community,” he said.
Phume said the main objective of the agreement was to eliminate all barriers to trade in Africa to enable the free flow of goods and services across the continent.
“This is meant to allow businesspeople like yourselves to contribute in increasing intra-African trade and investment. Through the Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, African leaders have set themselves an ambition of increasing intra-Africa trade from the current 17% to 81% by 2035,” Phume said.
He stressed that the agreement emphasises harmonisation of trade regulation in the continent, value-addition, economic inclusion, industrialisation and beneficiation.
“These open up a myriad of opportunities for your companies to increase production and create jobs for women, youth and people with disabilities in order to service the huge market that has been created by the AfCFTA.
“This is your chance to grow your businesses by tapping into the expansive African market, increase your exports, increase your revenue, and contribute positively in growing the intra-African trade and investment,” he said.
Phume advised businesspeople to set themselves realistic ambitions when they venture into the rest of Africa, as the imposing size of the market created by the free trade agreement offers huge benefits and rewards, but could also be challenging and daunting for their small businesses.
“It is important that you conduct a thorough research and study of the market you intend entering because the fact that there are 55 countries means that each market has its own dynamics related to business environment and culture, infrastructure, logistical requirements, as well as norms and standards.
“It is always advisable to partner with a local company that can assist you to navigate the regulatory challenges and other hurdles. This will enable you to transform obstacles into opportunities that will be profitable and rewarding to your business,” advised Phume. – SAnews.gov.za

Ehlanzeni TVET students urged to prioritise their studies
Ehlanzeni TVET students urged to prioritise their studies
The Department of Social Development has urged students at Mthimba Campus of Ehlanzeni TVET College, near Hazyview, Mpumalanga, to take their studies seriously and stay away from drugs.
The department was addressing 300 students, mostly in first year at the TVET college, as part of its nation-wide substance abuse and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention campaign at institutions of higher learning.
The campaign aims to educate young people about the harmful effects of substance abuse and creating awareness about gender-based violence.
The campaign also aims to encourage young people to prevent and report such incidents on campus.
The interactive session included structured presentations and quizzes, which kept students actively participating in the discussions the whole time.
During her presentation on Wednesday, Motshabi Nkoane from the Department of Social Development, explained different stages of drug addiction and cautioned that drug addiction starts with experimental use of recreational drugs, while other drugs have a higher risk and cause addiction more quickly.
Students were also informed of available services to assist those suffering from substance use disorders.
“It is often said that prevention is better than cure and this is more appropriate when it comes to substance use and substance use disorders. The best thing you can do for yourselves and the sake of your health, is to completely stay away from experimenting with drugs in the first place,” Nkoane said.
The department’s ongoing substance abuse and gender-based violence prevention campaign will continue over the next two days in Mpumalanga Province, with events scheduled at the Ehlanzeni TVET College Barberton Campus and the University of Mpumalanga. – SAnews.gov.za

Infrastructure fund and partners drives major advancement in infrastructure landscape
Infrastructure fund and partners drives major advancement in infrastructure landscape
Public Works Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala has highlighted that since the 2024 State of Nation Address (SONA), the Infrastructure Fund (IF) and its strategic partners have made great strides in the infrastructure landscape.
“Seven more blended finance projects with a capital value of R37.8 billion have been added to the IF pipeline as noted by the President in the SONA last week,” Zikalala said.
In his debate on the State of the Nation Address, held in Cape Town on Tuesday, Zikalala said under the 6th Administration in 2020, 62 projects or programmes, were gazetted as SIPs [Strategic Integrated Projects] with an additional seven programmes gazetted as SIPs in 2022.
“Taking into account the various programmes gazetted as SIPs, we have approximately 268 individual projects gazetted as SIPs, which are dominated by the energy sector under the Embedded Generation Programme, the Green Hydrogen Programme and the various bid windows and preferred bidders, as announced by the DMRE [Department of Mineral Resources and Energy] and the Minister of Electricity and Energy [Kgosientso Ramokgopa],” Zikalala said.
Zikalala revealed that the total value of these projects is estimated at around R3 trillion, with 82 projects already under construction, valued at approximately R437 billion.
“Government commitment for these projects is estimated at around R13.8 billion over the 2025 medium-term, comprising of bespoke and innovative first loss capital grant finance, short and long-term viability gap and project derisking debt instruments. The associated financial additionality from the private sector and public equity contributions is estimated at around R24.2 billion,” Zikalala said.
Bespoke refers to something that is custom-made or tailored specifically to the needs or preferences of an individual. It is often used in contexts like clothing (e.g., bespoke suits), but can apply to anything that is made to order or specially designed.
Zikalala said going forward, government will enhance project preparation by easing regulations affecting Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and further ensure a quicker turn on PPPs implementation unit, while National Treasury continues with its overall monitoring to avoid potential corrupt practices.
“This will ensure an increase in investment in all infrastructure which in turn will lead to the growth of Gross Capital Formation, which is the primary feature of our country’s balance sheet while creating more skills and sustainable jobs.
“As a developmental state, our approach on infrastructure development is not about caring only for selective areas but the whole of South Africa. Each day, we play our role to reverse the evil legacy of apartheid spatial planning which neglected poor townships and rural communities,” the minister said.
Zikalala said the Welisizwe Rural Bridges prgramme connects rural communities with each other and to amenities.
To date, 40 bridges have been completed in six provinces, with the highest numbers in Kwa-Zulu Natal, followed by the Eastern Cape.
The completed bridges include 18 in KwaZulu-Natal, 14 in Eastern Cape, 4 in Mpumalanga, 1 in North West, and 3 in Free State, with none built in Limpopo.
Zikalala said his department has also developed recovery plans for all provinces.
“We managed to unlock hindrances affecting the construction of bridges in that province [North West]. Before the end [of] March 2024, we will hand over six completed bridges in the North West,” Zikalala said.
With regard to the construction of harbours, Zikalala said by the end of March 2025, government would have completed feasibility studies that will allow for the actual construction of new small harbours in Port Alfred (Eastern Cape), Port Nolloth (Northern Cape) and Port Edward (KwaZulu-Natal) for local communities to have fishing infrastructure.
“We continue to ensure that all 13 habours that we have refurbished in the Western Cape are opened for all communities to exploit economic opportunities, including big and small fishing companies,” Zikalala said.
Zikalala said government have seen the impact of the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in many communities.
“Whilst departments have fiscal challenges, the reduction of EPWP based on age is unacceptable. The working age in South Africa is from 18 to 65 years, and therefore none must be excluded,” the Minister said.
Regarding expropriation, Zikalala explained that the Expropriation Bill grants the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure the authority to expropriate land or assets solely in the public's interest, with compensation provided, even if that compensation is valued at zero.
Earlier this month, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law the Expropriation Bill, which sets out how organs of State may expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons.
In a statement, The Presidency said the new legislation, which repeals the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, aligns expropriation processes with the Constitution.
Section 25 of the Constitution recognises expropriation as an essential mechanism for the state to acquire someone’s property for a public purpose or in the public interest, subject to just and equitable compensation being paid. – SAnews.gov.za
