The new foreign affairs era that is already upon us comes with threats but also opportunities. South Africans are duty bound to seize the opportunities and to stave off the threats. An immediate opportunity is to enable public-private collaboration across mining, manufacturing, energy, technology and tourism.

To ensure that mining has a good future, mineral exploration must be rapidly accommodated by government and mine logistics made to work competitively. Green energy development must also involve putting green molecules to work and not only electrons. Datacentre and artificial intelligence (AI) studies must be quickened, and a firm stand must be taken early against all potential ill effects on human beings and on humanity as a whole that misplaced and wrongful AI implementation can bring.
