From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report. The latest edition of the Air Cargo Africa conference and exhibition was held in South Africa some weeks ago. Keith Campbell attended.

Keith Campbell:
Air Cargo Africa 2015 was the third edition of the biennial event and was held at O R Tambo International Airport, east of Johannesburg. STAT Media events & marketing director Priyo Patra explains the origins of the event.

I asked Patra if he had any idea what the event's impact on the air cargo sector in Africa had been.

Shannon de Ryhove:
Other news making headlines this week: Massmart continues its sustainability drive; and South Africa risks weakening its foreign investment environment with the Security Bill amendment.

South African retailer Massmart is continuing to improve the operating efficiency of its stores by adopting more sustainable technologies, such as light-emitting diodes and daylight harvesting cells for lighting, rainwater harvesting for water supply and evaporative cooling technology for temperature control.

Despite the “overwhelming” positivity surrounding the majority of the changes contained within the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority Amendment Bill, one clause has “unintended consequences” capable of damaging South Africa as an attractive investment destination and breaching several international trade agreements.
