Sub-Saharan Africa’s hotel pipeline booms with 577 new projects
Africa’s hotel industry is undergoing a transformation unlike any seen before, with 577 new hotels and resorts currently under construction across the continent, promising an addition of over 104,000 new rooms.

Eskom says the BESS programme will fix the electricity crisis. What is it and how does it work?
South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, is once again highlighting its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) programme, asserting that its implementation could address the country’s ongoing electricity crisis. But what exactly is this programme, how does it function, and what implications does it have for South Africans?What are Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)? Imagine a giant, super-smart rechargeable battery that can store electricity and release it exactly when you need it. That, in simpler terms, is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). It’s not just an extra gadget; it’s a key part of how we manage energy today, especially with renewable

How teen-specific trade schools could end SA’s artisan, unemployment crisis

Employers across mining, energy, construction and manufacturing regularly highlight the lack of skilled artisans as one of their greatest constraints. Without enough artisans, projects stall, infrastructure weakens
Accountability questions linger 16 months after deadly George building collapse
Reluctance to release the names or those responsible for the George Building Collapse in a bid to shield regulatory bodies and various departments is what political parties believe may be the reason why the answers have not been delivered 16 months after the tragedy. The Portfolio Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure announced that they did not receive the full forensic report due to its sensitive nature. The Victoria Street tragedy on May 8, 2024 claimed the lives of 34 people and left 28 injured. During a media briefing held in Cape Town this week, between DPWI, the Council for
