      <image:title>EXPLOSIVE: South Africa’s latest official unemployment figure is extremely disheartening, having risen to 32.7% in the first quarter and leaving more than eight-million people out of work. Even more worrying﻿ are official figures showing that those aged 15 to 24 face the highest unemployment rate of 60.9%, followed by those aged 25 to 34 at 40.6%. Youth joblessness at such levels is a ticking bomb, even before the full disruption to labour markets that is now expected as firms integrate AI into work practices.</image:title>

      <image:title>CHARGING AHEAD: This month, Zero Carbon Charge launched two off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along the Johannesburg–Durban N3 corridor. The company says that a typical EV can charge from 20% to 80% within half an hour, depending on vehicle size and battery configuration. Both locations offer complimentary WiFi, restrooms, and on-site farm stalls. The company is now planning to ﻿roll out similar stations on the N1 corridor.</image:title>

      <image:title>POWER POSER: The Hillside Aluminium smelter in KwaZulu-Natal marked its thirtieth anniversary this month, while indicating that it is seeking another competitive long-term electricity agreement to sustain operations. Hillside’s current negotiated pricing agreement has been key to the business, but has also proved controversial for its opacity and for having been sustained while other consumers faced steep hikes and power cuts. As with other electricity intensive operations in South Africa, Hillside wants both a low tariff and progressively cleaner supply.</image:title>

      <image:title>POLITICAL STORM: Although President Cyril Ramaphosa has decided to legally review the independent panel’s report stating there was a prima facie case for him to answer before an impeachment committee in relation to the theft of foreign currency from his Phala Phala farm, the political fallout continues. Most South Africans don’t seem to have any immediate appetite for a change at the top, but the coming months will be ugly and could shift the mood and test the President’s own resilience.</image:title>

      <image:title>ENERGY CLUSTER: Envusa Energy officially inaugurated its flagship 520 MW Koruson 2 (K2) Cluster of renewable energy projects in the Eastern Cape last month. The K2 Cluster brings together three major projects ﻿– the 240 MW Mooi Plaats Solar PV facility, the 140 MW Umsobomvu Wind Farm (pictured), and the 140 MW Hartebeesthoek Wind Farm. The wheeled renewable electricity will be purchased under long-term agreements by miners Kumba Iron Ore, De Beers, and Valterra Platinum.</image:title>

      <image:title>BACK ON TRACK: The Draft National Rail Masterplan sets out an ambitious vision for reviving the role of the railways in South Africa’s transport economy by 2050. The document is out for public comment until July 22, with events being held in all nine provinces in May and June to canvass feedback. While much is said about rail becoming the backbone, the real issue at stake is how best to lower the cost of logistics using all transport modes, including rail.</image:title>

Perhaps it’s time for all senior positions to be readvertised?</image:title>

      <image:title>Jendamark Automation’s catalytic converter shrinker machine integrates a 12-segment precision shrinking system, where SEW-EURODRIVE servo gear units and motion control software ensure each can is accurately reduced to predetermined dimensions based on mat weight and component tolerances</image:title>

      <image:title>The mat gripper transfer and centralising system employs dual gripper robotics and SEW EURODRIVE servo-driven positioning to accurately align the mat within tight tolerances, ensuring precise placement before monolith insertion in a highly synchronised assembly sequence</image:title>

      <image:loc>https://cisp.cachefly.net/assets/articles/images/resized/0001270047_resized_jendamarkpic031022.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>The mat autowrapper station uses a multi-segment wrapping mechanism, powered by SEW-EURODRIVE servo-driven technology, to tightly and uniformly encase the mat around the monolith, creating a gap-free assembly ready for insertion into the can as part of Jendamark’s advanced automated production line</image:title>

      <image:title>PROJECT ACTIVITY: Financial close on the 380 MW Beaufort West Solar PV facility, an artist impression of which is shown here, increased the number of Mulilo projects to have reach the milestone this year to four. The independent power producer’s other project announcements relate to theOrkney Solar PVproject located in the North West province, as well as theMiddlepunt Solar PVandMercury battery storage projects in the Free State. The financial close announcements add credibility to a R15-billion investment pledge made by Mulilo at the South Africa Investment Conference in March.</image:title>

      <image:title>SHEDDING LIGHT: The negotiations between Eskom and the ferrochrome industry on a tariff that could prevent further smelter closures and job cuts were clearly not easy. Given that the 62c/kWh solution will need to be funded and there have traditionally been only two sources of such funding – consumers or taxpayers – it is only fair that the terms and conditions, together with the funding plan, are placed before the public. In this case, it’s up to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa to ensure some light is shed.</image:title>

      <image:title>REMOTE ADVANTAGE
While remote drilling does not necessarily improve precision or efficiency, it improves use, with value coming from allowing experienced operators to control the rig remotely, keeping machines productive even when access is restricted</image:title>

      <image:title>MOON MISSION: The Artemis II mission marked humanity’s first return to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen also set the record for the furthest distance that humans have travelled from Earth: 252 756 miles, or more than 406771 km. This photo taken on April 6 shows a fully illuminated view of the Moon. The near side (identifiable by the dark splotches) is visible on the right of the photo. The left portion of the image shows the far side, the hemisphere not visible from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits around the Earth.

      <image:title>NEW CHAPTER: The nearly 20-year Gautrain concession agreement with the Bombela Concession Company officially ended last month. However, the Gauteng government said the public-private partnership model would continue and that there would be a seamless transition to a new operator. The Bombela Operating Company will continue to manage the Gautrain under a contractual holdover arrangement for up to six months while final negotiations with a preferred bidder are concluded. The new concessionaire will operate, maintain, refurbish, upgrade, and modernise the Gautrain system for the next 15 years.</image:title>

      <image:title>INCLEMENT: Few would argue that the world has entered a most treacherous period. Besides the deadly hot wars that are leaving thousands dead and wounded and infrastructure in ruins, domestic politics just about everywhere has turned beyond ugly.
