SA EYES GREEN HYDROGEN OPPORTUNITIES

“We are determined to make full use of our substantial endowments to meet the challenges of climate change and achieve a just transition that benefits all our people,” the President said.

President Ramaphosa was delivering a keynote address at the opening of the inaugural South Africa Green Hydrogen Summit, held in Cape Town, on Tuesday, 29 November 2022.

The summit showcased the country’s offering as a large-scale, low-cost, world-class green hydrogen production hub and total value chain investment destination.

It built on the opportunities identified during the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA) of 2021.

The President told delegates at the summit that the potential for South Africa to emerge as a significant player in the green hydrogen value chain was immense.

The country looks forward to welcoming more of the firms in the green hydrogen value chain and associated technologies into the market.

“We hope to see these international firms partnering with South African firms as we increase our renewable energy footprint, green hydrogen manufacturing capability and local production of value-added products,” he said.

The Green Hydrogen Summit took place soon after the conclusion of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP 27, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

President Ramaphosa said South Africa used the platform of COP 27 to elaborate on its just green transition.

Government recently released for public comment a Just Energy Transition Investment Plan as the basis for the country’s pathway towards a low-carbon and climate-resilient society. According to the plan, South Africa will need approximately US$98 billion over the next five years to enable a just transition and achieve its ambitious emissions reduction targets.

Green hydrogen was identified as a “Big Frontier” in the Country Investment Strategy, indicating that it represents both current and future growth and investment potential for South Africa.

The President highlighted that globally, the demand for green hydrogen and green hydrogen-based products, such as ammonia and synthetic jet fuels, was rising significantly.

“This presents a unique opportunity for South Africa to link its mineral endowment with its renewable energy endowment to drive industrialisation.

“At the same, it will create jobs, attract investment, bring development to rural provinces and support a just transition from fossil fuels. This summit is an opportunity to tell the South African story in this rapidly growing sector,” President Ramaphosa said.

SA an investment destination of choice

President Ramaphosa emphasised that South Africa had existing and future potential to produce green hydrogen.

It is estimated that South Africa has the potential to produce six to 13 million tons of green hydrogen and derivatives a year by 2050. This would require between 140 and 300 gigawatts of renewable energy.

The President explained that the focus would be on green hydrogen exports, electrolyser and fuel cell production, and the manufacture of green steel, sustainable aviation fuel, ammonia, fertilisers and renewable energy components.

“South Africa is an investment destination of choice. The country has proven itself as a gateway to a dynamic continent with great prospects. Africa is growing its output, is rapidly urbanising and has a young population.

“South Africa leads the continent in advanced manufacturing, science and technology. This country is a favourable, reliable and stable place to conduct business,” the President said.

President Ramaphosa reiterated that government was driving regulatory and legislative reform to make the economy more competitive, attract more investment and create more jobs.

“South Africa has many inherent advantages that make it internationally competitive in the production of green hydrogen. These include a world-class endowment of both onshore wind and solar irradiation,” the President said.

The country has a supportive legislative environment and experience in the deployment of renewable energy with the largest installed capacity of wind and solar power projects on the African continent.

Companies like Sasol and PetroSA have expertise in the production of synthetic fuels like diesel, petrol and kerosene, as well as a range of chemical products.

South Africa already produces 2.4 million tons of grey hydrogen for domestic consumption.

The President highlighted that a number of large and emerging South African companies had started doing work in the green hydrogen sector, including the Boegoebaai Port and Rail Project, among others.

The project has been under development for over two decades and was gazetted as a Strategic Integrated Project in 2020.

Sasol and the Northern Cape Provincial Government have also made significant progress on the master plan for a green hydrogen special economic zone, which aims to support 40 gigawatts of electrolyser capacity by 2050.

The President said this would require approximately 80 gigawatts of renewable energy, which is almost double South Africa’s current installed electricity generation capacity.

BIOVAC SIGNS DEAL TO MANUFACTURE ORAL CHOLERA VACCINE

According to a statement, this is a partnership with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), a non-profit international organisation headquartered in South Korea.

“The project is significant for Biovac as it enables drug substance manufacturing capability to be built, that is, production of the antigen or raw material needed to manufacture actual vaccines,” the company said.

“This is one of the remaining steps in the vaccine manufacturing value chain that is currently missing, not only at Biovac but across the African vaccine manufacturing landscape.”

The company, which is partly owned by the South African Government, said the agreement came at a time when cholera outbreaks were wreaking havoc on fragile health systems in Pakistan, Nigeria and Malawi.

“This places additional demand on already-limited supply of cholera vaccines globally.”

According to Biovac, the extent of recent cholera outbreaks has escalated while there has been an increasing gap between supply and demand for cholera vaccines.

The partnership with IVI aims to license and transfer technology to increase production volumes to reduce the critical shortage of vaccines needed to prevent cholera globally.

Biovac believes that after many decades, this will be a critical step forward for vaccine production in Africa. 

“This is in a market in Africa where less than 1% of vaccines are locally manufactured and where infectious diseases are still the leading cause of death, especially in children under five years.”

The agreement is underpinned by collective support of R120 million (US$6.9 million) from Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for the first phase of the project.

This will allow Biovac to expand its capabilities from filling and packaging of vaccine vials to end-to-end vaccine product development and drug substance manufacture.

Biovac CEO, Dr Morena Makhoana, said the COVID-19 pandemic exposed Africa’s lack of local production capacity.

“It became clear that increasing self-sufficiency is important if Africa is to have better control over its own public health and vaccine supply chains.”

For African vaccine manufacture to be sustainable, Dr Makhoana said the continent needed to ensure that research and development, technology transfers, scale-up, drug substance manufacture and licensing all took place on African soil.

“This initiative will be the beginning of end-to-end vaccine manufacture at Biovac, while at the same time addressing an ongoing and increasing cholera disease burden globally.”

The technology transfer process will commence in January 2023, with the first clinical trial batches expected to be produced in 2024.

FIGHT AGAINST CANCER GETS A BOOST IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

The WHO has made childhood cancer a global priority to reduce these disparities and improve cancer outcomes for children.

The NCR, a division of the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS), said cervical cancer was the most common cause of cancer death in women in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

The NCR serves as South Africa's main source of national cancer incidence data.

The WHO has launched a global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer, which involves increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in girls to 90%, twice-lifetime cervical screening to 70% and treatment of cervical pre-cancer and cancer to 90%, also known as the 90-70-90 cervical cancer elimination strategy.

“As the IARC-GICR Collaborating Centre, the NCR will be responsible for building capacity for childhood cancer registration in cancer registries in sub-Saharan Africa.

“The NCR will also be responsible for training cancer registries on linking patient records from HPV vaccination registers, cervical cancer screening registers and cancer registries for monitoring the progress of cervical cancer elimination in sub-Saharan Africa,” the National Institute for Communicable Diseases explained.

Acting Head of the NCR, Dr Mazvita Muchengeti, said: “Our data systems for HPV vaccination, cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment and death registration are fragmented.”

She believes that these need to be harmonised to accurately measure progress towards cervical cancer control and to make policies that work in sub-Saharan Africa.

“A global and regional partnership, along with the mobilisation of networks for sharing knowledge and experiences, is crucial to cervical cancer control.”

As a part of reducing global disparities in the survival of children with cancer, Dr Muchengeti said data-driven policies were needed.

“Every child with cancer should be counted and the stage at which the cancer is diagnosed so that we can adequately allocate resources to control childhood cancer.”

THIS SA ARCHITECTURE FIRM DESIGNED NIKE’S HQS IN SA, GREECE, THE NETHERLANDS, TURKEY

“We love that we get to work within walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean in our beautiful Cape Town studio everyday but that we have global exposure both in Europe and Asia or elsewhere at any given time, it makes our design life very diverse and rewarding,” said Inhouse co-founder and creative director, Aidan Hart.

Its most recent three-year project, set to conclude in 2023, involves the concept ideation, interior design and complete architectural design of the Bill Bowerman Centre in Hilversum, The Netherlands – Nike’s Europe headquarters – about 30 kilometres from Amsterdam.

According to Inhouse, the European science centre offers a vast logistics hub, sports environments and full food service offerings for staff and guests.

In this project, the company will redesign and rethink several thousand square meters of workspace planning and more.

“Working with the Nike Workspace Design & Connectivity (WD&C) Team has been really rewarding and it is a rich collaborative process – we engage with them on every level as their design partners, from brand storytelling through graphic applications within different zones to the practicalities of commercial and technical refurbishments of spaces like their new European centre court food service offering.

“This is very much in keeping with our style – we like to embed ourselves in a brand’s narrative from every touchpoint and to ensure that a thread of intent can be seen and felt throughout”, said Hart.

In South Africa, Inhouse is responsible for the headquarters in Melrose Arch. Here, the design company tapped into their knowledge of South African visual style, material heritage and local content.

This helped bring together Mzansi-style with current Nike sensibilities that embrace both the brand and styles reminiscent of a South African aesthetic

“The Nike design language is really interesting and their working methodologies and systems, while complex, are very consistent, and have become refined over time.

“It has brought many learnings for us as a design studio and has shown us the capacity we have for working with brands and businesses all over the world, and most importantly, that South African expertise is relevant and respected,” said Hart.

DURBAN STUDENT WANTS TO INSPIRE OTHER WOMEN AFTER BAGGING GLOBAL TECH AWARD

The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) student is currently studying towards her BCom Honours in Information Systems and Technology. She is also the president and co-founder of Tech Society UKZN, which was established to promote learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Since her appointment as Women in Tech South Africa Youth Ambassador, Pillay's aim has been to champion the role of women in technology.
"I want to inspire girls and women across the board to bridge the gap in the tech sector," she said. "For me technology is problem solving."

Pillay's interest in technology started in primary school when she took part in a robotics competition.

"When I got into university I [had] planned to study law but that didn't pan out. I was really disappointed because I was always a top achiever in high school. I then decided to choose the Bachelor of Commerce degree."

She said she struggled to fit in at university in her first year.

Her experience during her first year made her want to empower future first-year students with the tools needed to succeed. So, she joined a society at UKZN that deals with entrepreneurship and promotes and uplifts communities.

"I started working on programmes that dealt with the education sector. This programme was recognised internationally and was one of the top-10 global winners in the Ford Fund challenge, which is a global grant competition that empowers college students to envision and lead change in their communities.

"I created programmes to empower young children and also headed a project called My DigiTutor."

Pillay and her team representing UKZN came second in the Innovate Durban Youth Innovation Challenge.

All of this led to her being nominated for the Women in Tech Africa Awards this year.

"My dad accompanied me to the regional awards ceremony, which was held in Cape Town in September. I won the Women in Tech Africa Aspiring Teen Award, and I honestly did not expect it," she said.

Even though she won the regional award, Nitasha was still in doubt as to whether she could attend the global awards ceremony in Dubai.

"I didn't have the funds to go. Getting the finances and sorting out visas on time felt so overwhelming but my pastor and my church convinced me to go.

"They held fundraisers for me, and my mom even took out a loan. I have never travelled internationally before so my mom accompanied me. My church has been extremely supportive, and they gave me advice on what to expect when travelling overseas. It was all new to me.

"I believe that it's only God that made this possible. Yes, I know I put in the hard work and the long hours but I also know without a doubt that this is possible because of God. I'm an Indian girl from Chatsworth and seeing myself on that stage showed me what is possible. Representation matters. I'm hoping that others who will come after me do even better than me."

JAN HENDRIK VAN DER WESTHUIZEN EMBARKS ON NEW RESTAURANT VENTURE IN FRANSCHHOEK

Jan says, “I remember always seeing this little house in the middle of the Franschhoek Valley lavender fields at La Motte and wondering why it was not a super exclusive little eatery. Years later, and JAN Franschhoek will be opening its doors to the culinary curious.”

The eatery will offer a rare glimpse into life as it was in this valley in the early 19th century, with thick stone walls that meet the ceiling and original blue gum ceiling beams. The menu will be crafted from 100% local ingredients and inspired by regional cuisine, combining traditional and modern techniques in dishes inspired by the JAN Library’s collection of cookbooks, one of the largest in South Africa.

La Motte CEO, Hein Koegelenberg, says, “We’ve been fans of Jan Hendrik’s dinner table storytelling since enjoying his Michelin-star experience in Nice and we are honoured and excited to host him and his team in the Franschhoek Valley.”

The team at JAN Franschhoek will include a culinary collective led by JAN Group Executive Chef, Antro Davel, and Head Chef, Anzette Klynhans, operating under Jan Hendrik as Culinary Director.

Jan Hendrik regards this new restaurant adventure as a tribute to his early years in the Winelands, when he was honing his skills and discovering the beauty of the area. “My years in the Winelands formed such a big part of my culinary and design training that I have always wanted to come back for more. I guess it’s like drinking a good wine. Once you’ve had a taste, you want to keep on savouring it.”

JAN Franschhoek will be open for dinner bookings on select dates from 1 December 2022 until 31 May 2023.

SOUTH AFRICA DOWNS SCOTLAND TO WIN NETBALL DIAMOND LEAGUE

The Proteas and the Scottish Thistles exchanged goal for goal in the first quarter, with the Proteas winning the first quarter 10-8.

Five minutes into the second quarter, the Thistles drew level on 13-all and then went into the lead for the first time. They maintained the lead for much of the quarter before a flurry of goals saw the Proteas claw their way back into the lead ahead again, for a half-time score of 23-12.

The Proteas maintained their lead in the third quarter, but in the final quarter, they outscored the Thistles 19-12.

It was a fast-paced match, with both sides achieving a number of turnovers, although there were also a number of handling errors on both sides.

"I wanted to see how the younger players reacted to pressure," said South Africa coach Norma Plummer.

"I was quite pleased with the way they responded, but I brought senior players on after the break and the team started working like a machine.

"The structures are in place and they are beginning to work.  But this is not the World Cup and we still have work to do."

Plummer said the players would attend an intensive training camp in Stellenbosch after a short break.

Plummer outlined a training programme that included taking players who were not contracted to overseas clubs to play against Australian Netball League teams in Melbourne.
