            <description><![CDATA[During Women’s Month in August, Air Products donated approximately 15 000 sanitary pads to female learners at three schools in the Gauteng area as part of their “Flow Campaign”. The beneficiary schools included two primary schools, Thabisang Primary in Soweto and Laerskool Kreft in Kempton Park and the Fred Nxorman Secondary School in Ennerdale, where each learner received products to last them for three months. The “Flow Campaign” was launched a few years ago to address the dire need in the country for sanitary products for female learners who miss out on numerous school days every year due to a lack of access to these products.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s economic competitiveness highly depends on its ability to build infrastructure that enables trade, improves logistics efficiency and attracts private investment. While fiscal policy and macroeconomic reforms remain important, economic theory consistently demonstrates that infrastructure investment has one of the highest multiplier effects on long-term growth. Real estate occupies a unique position in the economy. It is both an indicator of economic activity and an enabler of it. It shapes the places where people live, work, shop and invest, while providing the foundation for business activity and urban development. When real estate markets are healthy, they help attract capital, support employment and create the conditions for broader economic expansion. Investment in high-quality real estate is therefore not simply a reflection of confidence in the economy. It is one of the ways in which that confidence is translated into tangible, long-term value.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A single drop can go a long way when it responds to a genuine need. This is the thinking behind the Mobil™ Give a Drop campaign, an initiative from Mobil and African Group Lubricants (AG Lubricants) aimed at supporting practical, community-led solutions that can help South Africans build a stronger, more resilient future. The campaign invites individuals and communities across South Africa to nominate projects, needs and local initiatives that could benefit from targeted support. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Give a Drop focuses on understanding what communities need and providing support where it can make a practical difference. That approach has now translated into the campaign’s first drop in Springs, Strubenvale, where a young, home-schooled student received a laptop to support her education.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The modern warehouse is undergoing a profound transformation. Once viewed primarily as a storage facility, today’s distribution centre has become a highly connected fulfilment hub where people, processes and technology work together to deliver greater speed, accuracy and customer responsiveness. Driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce, changing consumer expectations and advances in automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital connectivity, warehouses are evolving into intelligent ecosystems designed to optimise every stage of material flow. For South African businesses, this evolution presents significant opportunities to improve operational efficiency while building greater resilience in increasingly competitive markets.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The global corporate e-learning market is forecast to more than triple in size this decade as employers face growing pressure to continuously reskill their workforces — but the surge in demand is also exposing a fundamental problem: organisations need to create and update training content faster than traditional learning and development (L&D) models can often accommodate. The global corporate e-learning market was valued at US$104.3 billion (approximately R1.66 trillion) in 2024 and is forecast to reach US$335 billion (R5.34 trillion) by 2030, representing annual compound growth of 21.7%, according to Grand View Research. Digital transformation and the increasing need for workforce upskilling are among the primary drivers. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[By Charmaine Houvet, Senior Director of Government Strategy and Policy at Cisco Africa South Africa can lead Africa in governing wireless as critical infrastructure but first we need to face the facts. 83 percent, that is the number of SA organisations that have experienced a wireless security incident in the past twelve months. For the last two decades, wireless was treated as a convenience layer in South African organisations and today, wireless networks carry the workloads, devices, and applications on which the most consequential systems in our economy depend. The technology has shifted faster than most governance conversations anticipated, and we now have the opportunity to bring the two back into alignment.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Just under a million international tourists arrived in South Africa in July. The precise figure, 991 696, sits 12% above the same month last year and lifts the 2026 running total to 6 576 169, growth of 12.4%. Then look at the passports. Arrivals from elsewhere on the continent are up 14.3% so far this year. Overseas arrivals are up 5.7%. Africa is growing at roughly two and a half times the pace of the long-haul markets, and Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille has framed that shift as strategy rather than serendipity.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Across South Africa, fire safety is often only considered after an incident has occurred. Yet one of the most effective ways for organisations to protect their people, assets and operations is through a professional fire risk assessment, a structured process that identifies hazards, evaluates risks, and ensures compliance with national fire safety regulations. According to Michael van Niekerk, CEO of ASP Fire, fire risk assessments are not simply a compliance exercise; they are a critical component of responsible workplace management. “Fire risk assessments form the foundation of any effective fire safety strategy,” says van Niekerk. “They help organisations identify potential hazards before they become emergencies, while also ensuring compliance with South Africa’s building regulations and municipal fire safety requirements.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A new technical report by fire engineering consultancy ASP Fire is challenging blanket assumptions around combustible-core sandwich panels, arguing instead for a rational, risk-based approach that balances fire safety requirements with commercial realities in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and industrial processing. Authored by ASP Fire CEO Michael van Niekerk, the report assesses the relative risks associated with various combustible-core sandwich panels materials and outlines practical fire prevention and mitigation strategies for existing and new buildings.]]></description>

The findings, detailed in a new article for publication in a leading scientific journal, authored by AECOM specialists across Africa and the United States, indicate that PFAS, a large family of highly persistent and mobile fluorinated organic compounds, are being detected in surface water, groundwater, wastewater, drinking water, and even rainwater across multiple provinces.]]></description>
