Parliament welcomes Postbank FSP license

The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, Khusela Sangoni-Diko, has welcomed Postbank’s milestone achievement of successfully registering as a licensed Financial Services Provider (FSP) with the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. 

This means that Postbank is now authorised and regulated to provide financial services that meet the standards set by the regulator, under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act (FAIS Act).

Diko described the development as a significant milestone in the ongoing journey to transform Postbank into a fully-fledged State-owned bank, capable of advancing financial inclusion and supporting economic participation for all South Africans.

“This is a moment of great progress and affirmation. The licensing of Postbank as a financial services provider signals that the institution is steadily meeting critical regulatory requirements and strengthening its capacity to operate within South Africa’s financial sector,” said Ms Diko.

She further noted that the achievement reflects sustained efforts by the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies and Postbank to rebuild governance, enhance compliance and restore public confidence in the institution.

“As the committee, we have consistently emphasised the importance of strong governance, accountability and regulatory compliance. This milestone demonstrates that Postbank is moving in the right direction and lays a solid foundation for its evolution into a fully-fledged state-owned bank,” she added.

Diko highlighted Postbank’s strategic importance in extending affordable and accessible financial services, particularly to underserved and rural communities. 

She said that a properly capacitated Postbank has the potential to play a transformative role in deepening financial inclusion, reducing the cost of banking and ensuring that no South African is left behind in accessing essential financial services.

While welcoming the progress, Diko stressed that more work remains to be done to secure a full banking licence and achieve operational readiness. 

She commended all stakeholders involved in achieving this milestone and looks forward to further progress in the establishment of a state-owned bank that serves the developmental needs of the country. – SAnews.gov.za

Grassroots policing takes centre stage at KZN safety training initiative

KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli has underscored the critical role of voluntary community safety structures in combating crime, describing them as essential partners in strengthening local-level prevention efforts.

Ntuli was addressing delegates at the Provincial Community Safety Structures Leadership Training session currently underway at the Mfolozi Casino in northern KwaZulu-Natal.

The two-day programme, held from 18 to 19 March 2026, is hosted by the Office of the Premier in partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Community Safety and Liaison.

The gathering has brought together leaders of community safety formations from across the province to strengthen their capacity, coordination, and effectiveness in supporting crime prevention initiatives.
The training also aims to strengthen community policing, enhance rural safety and improve collaboration between communities and law enforcement agencies in crime prevention efforts.

The initiative forms part of ongoing provincial efforts to empower communities to take an active role in safeguarding their environments.

The programme is designed to ensure that community safety structures are not only operational, but are also equipped with the necessary knowledge, discipline, and practical tools needed to serve with distinction and contribute meaningfully to the fight against crime.

In his address the Premier emphasised that community safety structures serve as a critical link between residents and law enforcement agencies, enabling early detection of criminal activity and improving response mechanisms.

“Volunteerism, local knowledge and community trust place these structures at the forefront of preventative policing. Strengthening leadership within these formations is essential to ensuring that they operate efficiently, ethically and in alignment with broader provincial safety strategies,” Ntuli said.

He urged participants to apply the skills and knowledge gained during the training to enhance coordination, improve reporting mechanisms and support law enforcement efforts to maintain safer communities.
The provincial government reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and capacitating community safety structures as part of a broader and integrated approach to crime prevention across KwaZulu-Natal.

The first day of the training programme covered key areas including the foundations of community safety leadership, legal framework and leadership management, collaboration, governance and ethical leadership, as well as crime prevention strategies and the development of community leadership action plans. – SAnews.gov.za

Binance Earn Offers Users a Simple Way to Put Idle Crypto to Work

Source: APO – Report:

.

As the cryptocurrency market (www.Binance.com) matures, more users are looking for ways to make their digital assets more productive. Rather than leaving crypto idle in wallets, many are exploring ways to generate rewards without actively trading or constantly monitoring the market.

Binance is addressing this demand through Binance Earn, a feature designed to help users generate rewards on the crypto they already hold. By enabling users to allocate supported assets to reward-generating products, Binance Earn (https://apo-opa.co/4sl8sLm) offers a simple, accessible way to put idle crypto to work.

For many users, the appeal lies in simplicity. Binance Earn is built around a straightforward experience: users select their assets, choose a product, and once set up, their holdings begin generating rewards automatically. This “set-and-forget” approach allows users to remain invested while their assets work in the background.

The feature is particularly relevant for long-term crypto holders who are not actively trading but still want to derive value from their portfolios. Instead of waiting for market movements, users can explore ways to make their holdings more productive over time.

Binance Earn offers a range of products to suit different user needs. Flexible options allow users to access their funds at any time, providing liquidity when needed. At the same time, fixed-term products are designed for users who are comfortable committing assets for a defined period. This flexibility allows users to choose options that align with their individual strategies and financial goals.

“We’re seeing growing interest across Africa in ways to make crypto holdings more productive without active trading,” said Larry Cooke, Africa Head of Legal at Binance. “Simple, ‘set-and-forget’ solutions are becoming increasingly relevant as more users take a longer-term approach to digital assets.”

As interest in passive crypto strategies continues to grow, Binance Earn is becoming an increasingly important part of how users engage with digital assets. The feature provides a practical alternative to active trading, allowing users to participate in the crypto ecosystem in a more hands-off way.

This trend reflects a broader shift in user behaviour. While active trading remains a key part of the market, more users are exploring approaches that focus on holding and gradually growing their assets over time.

At the same time, users should be aware that cryptocurrency markets remain volatile, and reward rates may vary depending on market conditions, liquidity, and product structures. As with any financial product, users need to understand how Binance Earn works and assess whether it aligns with their individual risk tolerance and financial objectives.

As digital asset adoption continues to expand across Africa, tools like Binance Earn are helping to shape how users interact with their crypto holdings. For many, the ability to put idle assets to work—simply and without constant involvement—is becoming an increasingly important part of their overall strategy.

Binance has introduced limited-time Simple Earn promotions for eligible users in Africa, including USDT locked products with promotional APRs for fixed durations. The current promotion is available until 31 March 2026.

R100 billion incentive grant to improve service delivery in cities

R100 billion incentive grant to improve service delivery in cities

Government has introduced an incentive grant that will unlock R100 billion investment to encourage metropolitan municipalities to deliver reliable water, electricity, sanitation and refuse removal services. 

“Over the past decade, we have witnessed the steady erosion of municipal capabilities in many parts of the country: infrastructure failures, unreliable services, financial stress, and declining public confidence,” National Treasury Director-General Dr Duncan Pieterse said on Wednesday in Pretoria.

In an effort to restore the cities ability to deliver services effectively, the National Treasury has introduced a comprehensive package of local government reforms for South Africa’s eight largest cities.

The Metro Trading Services Reform is targeted at stabilising and strengthening service delivery through implementing interventions to stabilise municipal governance and strengthen financial management.

The reforms include legislative changes, stronger enforcement of funded budgets and financial recovery plans. 

They also include targeted investments in municipal infrastructure and smart metering, and new approaches to ensure that public funds are matched to credible delivery.

“The Metro Trading Service Reform targets a specific problem. Many of our cities are failing to provide services or to collect revenue adequately. Even when they do, the revenue they collect goes into the general municipal pot instead of being invested to maintain and upgrade infrastructure. 

“As a result, the water leaks, the lights go out, the rubbish piles up. Bankers will not lend, and investors will not invest.

“The Metro Trading Service Reform aims to ensure those services are run like integrated businesses. It creates a single unit of management accountability to deliver core trading services. It will ringfence the revenues and reinvest them in those services,” Pieterse explained.

When the budget was tabled in February, National Treasury included a new proposal: where municipal capacity to spend becomes a problem, instead of the funds being lost, they will be transferred to entities such as the Development Bank of South Africa and Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent, to ensure the spending takes place in that municipality to benefit the residents who live there. 

“National Treasury has worked closely with the cities and with departments across government to design the reform, including the Department of Cooperative Governance. And instead of penalising metros that don’t implement it, we will incentivise those who do. 

“Government will mobilise R54 billion in performance-linked incentives, with R27.7 billion allocated over the medium term, to restore the operational and financial sustainability of metro trading services,” Pieterse said.

To access the incentives, metros will have to meet the performance targets they have set for themselves in the Performance Improvement Action Plans they have developed for each of the trading services: water, electricity and solid waste services.

The Metro Trading Services Reform aligns with Operation Vulindlela, which focuses on implementing structural reform priorities to remove constraints to economic growth.

“The health of the cities is closely linked with the fate of our national economy. It is in the cities that the bulk of South Africa’s population is concentrated and the bulk of its economic activity takes place. 

“Our cities are the engines of national economic growth, inclusion and innovation. Those of you who have visited some of the other major cities around the world will know how these cities drive economic activity in those regions. If our cities do not work, South Africa cannot grow,” he said.

The Metro Trading Services Reform programme is a national government initiative, endorsed by Cabinet, and one of the government’s priority programmes to support economic development and improve social outcomes during the current administration.

 National Treasury has introduced a performance-based grant that creates an incentive for the eight metropolitan municipalities to turn around the long-term decline in the provision of three municipal trading services: electricity, water and wastewater, and solid waste management.

Participation in the incentive programme is voluntary. – SAnews.gov.za

Au lendemain de la décision de la CAF, la Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) salue une décision conforme au respect des règles et à la stabilité des compétitions internationales

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French


Au lendemain de la décision rendue par la Commission d’appel de la CAF, la Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF) (https://FRMF.ma) tient à saluer une décision allant dans le sens du respect des règles et de la stabilité nécessaire à la bonne tenue des compétitions internationales.

Dès les premiers incidents ayant conduit à l’interruption du match, la FRMF a fait connaître et a réitéré de manière constante sa demande : l’application stricte du règlement encadrant la compétition. La démarche engagée n’a donc jamais eu pour objet de contester la performance sportive des équipes, mais uniquement de demander le respect des règles.

A la suite d’une première décision dont la FRMF avait fait appel, la CAF reconnaît aujourd’hui que la règle, connue de tous et applicable à tous, n’avait pas été respectée.

La FRMF a, en toutes circonstances, respecté les règles propres au règlement des différends liés aux compétitions, dans le respect du droit. Elle a déposé ses conclusions, participé aux auditions auxquelles elle a été conviée, et s’est attachée à faire respecter ses droits et les règles assurant le bon déroulement des compétitions.

Cette décision contribue à clarifier le régime applicable à des situations similaires et participe à la cohérence et à la crédibilité des compétitions internationales, en particulier du football africain.

La FRMF continuera à faire valoir l’application stricte et équitable des règles encadrant les compétitions auxquelles elle participe, devant les instances continentales et internationales, et entend se tourner sereinement vers les prochaines échéances sportives, au premier rang desquelles figurent la Coupe du Monde ainsi que la CAN féminine prévues cet été.

La Fédération tient à nouveau à saluer l’ensemble des nations ayant participé à cette édition de la CAN, qui a constitué un moment majeur pour le football africain.

Furniture design capabilities to come to the fore

Furniture design capabilities to come to the fore 

The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition’s (dtic) Furniture Master Plan’s objectives of strengthening local manufacturing capability and expanding opportunities for small enterprises and emerging entrepreneurs will come to the fore at the annual Furniture Design Competition Awards.

To be addressed by Deputy Minister Alexandra Abrahams, the annual competition is this year being held under the theme: “Alien Invasive Species Wood.”

The dtic said the theme reflects a deliberate alignment with the objectives of the Furniture Master Plan. 

“By challenging designers to transform invasive timber into high-value, market-ready products, the competition advances key priorities of the Plan, namely strengthening local manufacturing capability, deepening skills development and expanding opportunities for small enterprises and emerging entrepreneurs. 

In doing so, this competition promotes innovation and sustainability within the sector and contributes to the development of more resilient and competitive value chains. Participants are therefore actively contributing to an industry-wide effort to unlock inclusive growth and create sustainable employment across design, manufacturing, and retail,” the department said in a statement on Thursday.

The Deputy Minister said the competition showcases the creativity of students and professionals.

“The Furniture Design Competition showcases the creativity of our students and professionals, introduces new products to the market, and elevates South African furniture on the global stage. The theme of this year’s competition, using invasive wood species, is a powerful example of how design can provide innovative solutions to national challenges while promoting sustainability.”

She added that at a strategic level, the furniture sector offers a compelling illustration of how design, innovation, and industrialisation intersect. 

“Design is more than aesthetics, it is a driver of competitiveness, differentiation, and value creation,” she said.

The ceremony which will be held on Friday, 27 March, will honour winners in two categories: Student and Established Manufacturers. 

The Student category is open to design students registered at South African educational institutions, while the Established Manufacturers category is open to manufacturing businesses with in-house design capabilities.   

The furniture industry plays a pivotal role in advancing economic growth, industrialisation and creating jobs. 

As a significant contributor to the country’s manufacturing sector, which accounts for 0.95% of manufacturing Gross Domestic Product and 1.6% of manufacturing employment, the dtic supports and promotes the industry’s role in boosting trade, small businesses, and positioning South Africa as a globally competitive market for both furniture manufacturing and design.

The ceremony will be held at the Homemakers Fair in Kyalami Grand Prix and International Expo Centre in Midrand. It will be held in partnership with industry stakeholders including the South African Furniture Initiative (SAFI), the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), and Proudly South African. – SAnews.gov.za

  • Imaging excellence boosts African storytelling with local narratives driving Nollywood’s global appeal
  • African premiere event in Lagos, Nigeria set for 22 March ahead of Nigeria-wide cinema release on 27 March 2026

Canon Central and North Africa (https://Canon-CNA.com/) is fuelling the creative energy of African cinema, as its cinema cameras and lenses take centre stage in the production of the much-anticipated Nollywood music drama, EVI. An exclusive African premiere event of the film will take place on 22 March 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria, bringing together select filmmakers, industry leaders, and media ahead of the film’s Nigeria-wide cinema release on 27 March 2026.

As African films gain worldwide recognition, filmmakers are increasingly turning to advanced imaging technology to deliver cinematic visuals that resonate with audiences across the globe.

The production was filmed using the Canon C400 cinema camera and professional lenses, delivering vivid colour and striking image clarity. The technology is designed to highlight the richness and natural beauty of African skin tones while meeting the demanding standards of global cinematic production. EVI demonstrates how professional cinema camera systems are enabling African directors and storytellers to produce films that rival international productions.

Rashad Ghani, B2C Business Unit Director for Canon Central and North Africa, said, “Canon’s cinema camera technology is helping filmmakers tell the powerful, authentic stories that make African cinema unique. Evi is a shining example of how the right tools allow creatives to capture the emotion, vibrancy, and rich visuals at the heart of African storytelling.”

Directed by Uyoyou Adia, produced by Judith Audu with Barnabas Emordi as the Cinematographer, Evi is a vibrant music drama that blends music, performance, and narrative to explore themes of identity, ambition, second chances and resilience. The film boasts a strong cast – including Osas Okonyon, Uzor Arukwe, Omowunmi Dada, Ibrahim Suleiman, Femi Branch, Ariyiike Dimples Owolagba, VJ Adams, and celebrated singer Waje – bringing the story to life with dynamic, heartfelt performances. Canon’s cinema cameras and lenses were instrumental in capturing the film’s energy and emotion, ensuring it met the high production values expected of world-class cinema.

Following the exclusive premiere event on 22 March, Evi will premier in cinemas across Nigeria on 27 March 2026, marking an exciting moment for Nollywood audiences and highlighting the growing global momentum of African storytelling.

As Nollywood continues to expand its global footprint, productions like Evi demonstrate how creative storytelling combined with advanced imaging technology is helping elevate production standards and strengthen the growing impact of Nigerian storytelling on the global stage.

Source: APO


.

Following the announcement by the CAF Appeal Board, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) (https://FRMF.ma) welcomes the decision, which reaffirms the primacy of competition regulations and reinforces the conditions necessary for the proper conduct of international tournaments.

From the outset, following the incidents that led to the interruption of the match, the FRMF maintained a clear and consistent position: the strict application of the governing regulations. The Federation’s approach was solely guided by this principle.

Following its appeal, CAF has now confirmed that the applicable regulations were not properly enforced.

Throughout the process, the FRMF acted in full compliance with all relevant legal and procedural frameworks, with a constant focus on upholding its rights and preserving the integrity of the competition.

This decision provides clarity on the applicable framework and strengthens the consistency and credibility of international competitions, particularly within African football.

The FRMF remains committed to the consistent and fair application of competition regulations across all continental and international bodies. It now turns its focus to the upcoming sporting calendar, including the FIFA World Cup and the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for this summer.

The FRMF also commends all participating nations in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which once again highlighted the strength and dynamism of African football.

President Ramaphosa mourns passing of Diplomat and Former Presidential Advisor Nicholas “Fink” Haysom

Source: President of South Africa –

President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed his deep sadness at the passing of Mr Nicholas “Fink” Haysom, human rights lawyer, former Chief Legal Advisor to President Nelson Mandela and United Nations representative in diverse roles.

President Ramaphosa extends his condolences to Mr Haysom’s family and friends, his former colleagues in The Presidency and government more broadly, as well as his associates on the continent and colleagues in the United Nations. Mr Haysom has passed away at the age of 73.

Mr Haysom served as chief legal and constitutional advisor to President Mandela from 1994 to 1999.

He chaired a committee that negotiated constitutional principles in the Burundi Peace Process under President Mandela.

He was a mediator and advisor in the Sudan Peace Process and served the United Nations in different roles, including as Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, Somalia, and South Sudan. He also headed the UN Mission in Iraq.

President Ramaphosa said: “Today we mourn a distinguished diplomat and a pioneer of our democratic administration whose commitment to justice and peace made our country, our continent and the world a better place.

“I remember him for applying his legal acumen, mentorship, wisdom and integrity to the development of our Constitution – attributes that underscored his role in peace-making on our continent and in other world regions.

“As we commemorate Human Rights Month, we pay tribute for Fink for his dedication to human rights and the dignity of all people in all the parts of the world where his guidance was deeply respected and sought-after.

“We reflect on the rich breadth of his life of law, scholarship and creativity, which established him as a writer and, in 1987, as South African Playwright of the Year.

“We are obligated to honour his contribution to our nation and the international community by upholding the fundamental rights and maintaining the peace he advocated so passionately and eloquently.”

Amapá’s Strategic Push into Caribbean Energy: Brazil’s Northern Frontier in Spotlight at Caribbean Energy Week (CEW) 2026

Source: APO

The Amapá Economic Development Agency will bring Brazil’s northern frontier into Caribbean energy conversations at Caribbean Energy Week (CEW) 2026, where Wandenberg Pitaluga Filho, the agency’s president, is set to address delegates on strategic investment, logistics and cross‑border energy opportunities.

Amapá’s interest in the energy sector has grown alongside federal exploration initiatives in Brazil’s Equatorial Margin – a deepwater frontier stretching along the northern Atlantic coast that includes the offshore area north of the state. In October 2025, Brazilian state‑owned oil firm Petrobras received an environmental operating license from the country’s environmental regulator IBAMA to drill an exploratory well in Block FZA‑M‑059, located roughly 175 km off the coast of Amapá. The operation, focused on gathering geological data, marks a significant milestone for northern Brazil’s entry into frontier exploration.

This milestone reflects broader efforts by Amapá to tie its economic development strategy to emerging energy opportunities. The state government and the Amapá Economic Development Agency have actively engaged with industry players and engineering firms on logistics and port infrastructure planning, including feasibility studies for offshore support facilities that could serve oil and gas operations. In late 2025, Amapá officials held technical meetings with DTA Engenharia Portuária to evaluate possible offshore port locations between Santana and Calçoene – a project aimed at creating dedicated logistics capacity for offshore energy activity.

For Caribbean energy stakeholders, Amapá’s combination of exploration progress and infrastructure planning shows how subnational actors can turn geographic proximity and federal initiatives into regional linkages. With offshore developments in Suriname and Guyana ramping up to the north, Amapá’s emerging ports, logistics hubs and service‑support capacity could become a key bridge for integrating Brazilian capabilities into the Caribbean energy value chain.

Brazil itself remains a heavyweight in the energy landscape. As Latin America’s largest oil producer with deep technical expertise and a robust oilfield services ecosystem, the country’s industrial and logistics networks could complement Caribbean basin operations, offering scale and synergies for complex offshore campaigns.

Through its participation at CEW 2026, the Amapá Economic Development Agency will present these opportunities to international investors and regional policymakers, with discussions expected to focus on strengthening cross‑border trade, expanding port infrastructure, and fostering collaboration between Brazilian companies and operators active in the Guyana–Suriname basin.

With offshore exploration ramping up along Brazil’s northern coast and growing investment in Guyana and Suriname, regional collaboration is increasingly central to the Caribbean energy landscape. Amapá’s participation at CEW positions the state as a practical partner in connecting production, services and investment across borders, integrating Brazil’s northern frontier into the emerging Caribbean energy corridor and demonstrating its role in building the infrastructure and partnerships that will shape the region’s next wave of development.

Join us in shaping the future of Caribbean energy. To participate in this landmark event, please contact sales@energycapitalpower.com.
