Defensive and Advanced Driver Training in Port Elizabeth

Atlas Isuzu

Close to 100 staff members from Atlas Security recently participated in the Isuzu Driving Academy's Defensive and Advanced Driver Training in Port Elizabeth - becoming the first security company in the Eastern Cape to do so. With almost 80% of the Eastern Cape-based security company's fleet being Isuzu vehicles, it was time for both the technical and operational staff to get to know their Isuzu's - some of which are nicknamed 'Beasts' - a bit better. Atlas Security Operations Manager Monty Montgomery said the ride height and durability of the Isuzu D-MAX bakkies make it the ideal vehicle …

No load shedding expected

Rainbow Warrior St Francis

With 10 days of no load shedding, the probability of load shedding for the rest of this week is low, Eskom said on Wednesday. In a statement on Wednesday, the power utility said generating plant performance has improved. However, Eskom cautioned that the system continues to remain vulnerable, adding that any unexpected shift such as an increase in unplanned breakdowns could result in load shedding at short notice. “Eskom wishes to thank customers for their understanding and for using electricity sparingly. Please switch off geysers as well as all non-essential lighting and electricity …

Mini-Budget – Good and Bad

Tito Mboweni CDC

Cost-cutting measures for bulging public sector wage bill Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has outlined a raft of cost-cutting measures that will see government save billions of rands in the public sector wage bill. Speaking in Parliament today, Mboweni said government has to significantly reduce expenditure in goods and services as well as transfers if it is to stabilise debt by 2022/23. The interventions will see the axe fall on various perks and salary increments frozen and later cut. As a first step, he said, the National Treasury has identified spending reductions of R21 billion …

Mboweni allows a debt blowout

Letters to the Editor

Dear MyPE Finance Minister Tito Mboweni today revealed the true horror of our nation’s precarious financial situation. We acknowledge his honesty that things are worse than imagined. We also welcome his tough talk on cutting the public wage bill and on the mismanagement of state-owned entities (SOEs). But the Minister’s number one priority in this speech was to present a credible plan to control national debt and rein in the deficit. The fact is that he did not do this. For all the tough talk, the Minister’s bark was worse than his bite. The spending cuts he did announce - roughly R50 …

Tito’s Medium Term Budget and the Aloe Ferox

Tito Mboweni CDC

The Aloe Ferox is a hardy South Africa succulent that Tito Mboweni presented to President Cyril Ramaphosa in May 2019 and used again during his mini-budget speech in Parliament today to explain the present situation in South Africa saying that we should turn back to 'our brothers and sisters in Africa'. The cynics in SA will say that the Aloe Ferox also represents all that is bad in politics today - slow growing, prickly, sour, inward focus and not sexy enough to attract much investment. The real question is; "Did Cyril really look after his Aloe Ferox and make it grow or did he consign …

Mounting municipal debt threatens to collapse water services

Letters to the Editor

Dear MyPE Municipalities across South Africa owe more than R14.9 billion to Water Boards. The scale of this crisis was revealed during a joint sitting of the Portfolio Committees for the Departments of Water and Sanitation (DWS) and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) on Tuesday. Despite an Inter-Ministerial Task Team (IMTT) having been appointed in 2017 to stem mounting liabilities, municipal debt has increased by R1.7 billion between March 2018 and September 2018 with a further R1.8 billion debt accrued in the year to date. Underpinning this crisis is a culture of …

Automotive Industry – It is All About The Numbers

Veloster NETCR

At the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) breakfast seminar yesterday I got to wondering just how difficult a job Weza Moss and colleagues were facing in growing and keeping automotive manufacturers happy and in South Africa. With the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in full swing the competition to provide more stuff at lower prices is immense. 4IR is based on the use of cyber physical systems and combines IT + Commerce + AI to automate many jobs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) then makes use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain for verification. The hard and fast …
