My wife and I got married in #Hogsback, and we seriously considered moving there. These restrictions on movement are heartbreaking.

We also have family elsewhere in the #EasternCape who may well owe their lives to this same paramilitary security group, in the absence of anything approaching effective policing.

Hogsback locals say paramilitary-style security is ruining tourism

「Lest we forget – SS Mendi 21 February 1917

The #SouthAfricanNativeLabourCorps men aboard her came from a range of social backgrounds, and from a number of different peoples spread over the South African provinces and neighbouring territories. (287 were from #Transvaal, 139 from the #EasternCape, 87 from #Natal, 27 from #NorthernCape, 26 from the #OrangeFreeState, 26 from #Basutoland, eight from #Bechuanaland [#Botswana], five from #WesternCape, one from #Rhodesia and one from #SouthWestAfrica). Most had never seen the sea before this voyage, and very few could swim. The officers and NCOs were white Southern Africans.

[...]

Poignantly, 21 February 2024 did not see military celebrations but the sombre repatriation to South Africa of two SA National Defence force soldiers killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a rebel mortar strike last week.」

「Huge uplift for Eastern Cape on way from South Africa’s R105bn green ammonia project

The building of the R105-billion #greenammonia project by Hive Hydrogen South Africa is poised to be a huge economic uplift for the #EasternCape.

The large project is the first phase of a multi-phase venture that will be constructed over 16 years. [...]

The front-end engineering design (FEED) process gets underway next month and tenders will invited shortly after the conclusion of that process in July.

Funding will be a combination of 70% debt and 30% equity. The final investment decision, which is expected by the end of next year, will be followed by construction and commissioning in 2028.

[...]

The building by Hive Hydrogen of 3.6 GW renewable energy capacity is scheduled to begin in early 2025. The solar power component will be built near the town of #DeAar, in the #NorthernCape, and wind component north and south of #BeaufortWest, in the #WesternCape.

A large transmission grid strengthening programme will enable #HiveHydrogen’s 3.6 GW on to the grid and phases two, three and four of the project will each require additional renewable energy of a similar gigawattage. Interestingly, Hive Hydrogen’s initial 3.6 GW on to the grid will enable an additional 14.4 GW from other independent power producers.

The one-million tons of green ammonia a year that the #Coega project will produce will provide clean energy for a variety of applications, with green hydrogen and ammonia being particularly well suited to the decarbonisation of heavy industries and transportation industries.

[...]

Those in the industry will know that one of the most important things that #Eskom is doing and plans to be operational by around 2029, is to put in two 765 kV transmission lines with about 10 GW of capacity, from #Gamma in the Northern Cape to #Grassridge in the Eastern Cape.

[...]

When will 20 000 people be employed by the project [...]

There will be a large number of construction #jobs and because this is a multi-phase project, we're hoping to time the construction jobs so that we have a full 16-year period over which we can employ the people, so that it's not a construction job just for a short period.」

That some people are being denied #healthcare services because they do not have identity documents or transfer letters is one of the headline findings of community-led clinic monitoring project #Ritshidze's third report on healthcare services in the #Easterncape.

In August, telecommunications company #MTN joined the list of service providers who have temporarily withdrawn services because the #EasternCape Department of #health failed to pay their bills. Luvuyo Mehlwana reports.
