“We may be from two countries but are one family”: Ethiopian peacekeepers hand over medical supplies in Bor

Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

“It’s increasingly difficult for us to provide essential medication to patients, whether in hospitals or smaller clinics,” reveals Dr. Bol Chaw.

Dr. Chaw is the medical director at Bor State Hospital in Jonglei, South Sudan. His concerns are shared by many across this country, where people living in remote areas often go without basic healthcare.

But Dr Chaw has helping hands in the form of Blue Helmets from Ethiopia serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) who handed over a large shipment of vital supplies to the hospital – broad spectrum antibiotics, anti-malarials, painkillers, drugs to tackle chronic illnesses such as hypertension, and surgical materials.

The handover couldn’t have been timelier, given the onset of the rainy season in the country which often leads to an uptick in malaria cases among communities.

“Since we patrol consistently among communities, we are aware of the challenges they face, particularly with the ongoing economic crisis and consequent shortage of medical supplies. We felt that we must support them. We may be from two countries but are one family and families share,” explains Lieutenant-Colonel Desalegn Sahile Gulilat, commanding officer of the Ethiopian troops.

To build further trust and goodwill, Ethiopian peacekeepers followed the medical outreach by providing some basic first aid training to medical staff.

“These partnerships with our international friends such as UNMISS make a real difference in saving lives,” says Dr. Chaw.

Beyond this gesture, the Ethiopian contingent undertakes regular patrols and provides military escorts for aid convoys, ensuring lifesaving humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable across the state.

“There are many ways in which we, as peacekeepers, protect civilians. We are on the ground to be of service,” added Lieutenant-Colonel Gulilat.

Government peacebuilders, youth and United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) sow seeds of peace amidst guns

As morning breaks, the vast and open plains of South Sudan’s Lakes state are filled with sounds of cattle and the overwhelming smell of smoke.  

It is at this relatively quiet time, that a team from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and state authorities from the Ministry of Peacebuilding set out on a drive.

They aim to meet herders, armed youth, and residents in cattle camps that dot the landscape. Why? To hear their concerns and discuss the possibility of a future without violence.

For generations, cattle have been a symbol of wealth and pride across Lakes. And, in recent years, they have also become a source of deadly conflict. Cattle theft, revenge raids, and competition over water have left a trail of grief in local communities with countless lives lost and properties destroyed.

At one such cattle camp called Buol, 24-year-old herder Makur Magor Bok stands firm at the centre of a gathering. A seasoned cattle keeper despite his age, Makur carries a weapon, not out of malice, he says, but out of necessity. “If I knew my cattle and my family were safe, I would give up my gun today,” he says, gesturing to the automatic rifle slung across his shoulder. “We are not criminals, we are just afraid.”

Makur told Civil Affairs officers from the UN Peacekeeping mission that thieves had stolen one of his rifles, along with phones and solar chargers. Though he knew who was responsible, he made a decision that surprised many in his community. “I could have tracked them and fought with them, retrieved my belongings and avenged myself, but I remembered the peace messages I heard from UNMISS before. You said revenge only brings more killing,” he explained. “So I reported them to the traditional authorities. I want to believe in the law, not in a gun and, hopefully, I won’t be disappointed”

His unprecedented choice—to trust the system instead of fuelling the cycle of violence—sparked a debate among his peers. Some responded with irony, while others said that they had seen enough of their people die over senseless quarrels.

In another nearby cattle camp, Abuok Deng, a 17-year-old girl, shared her fears. “We sleep in fear. On any given night, someone might raid us. I think to myself that maybe this is the night I lose my baby brother; maybe this is the night someone hurts me,” she exhales, with looking out into the distance. “We need safety.”

The team of government peacebuilders and UNMISS peacekeepers listened intently and responded with strong messages on conflict resolution, the power of dialogue, and the importance of community-led peace. “This visit is not about disarming people,” stated Ruby Awude, a Civil Affairs Officer. “It is about creating the kind of peace and safety in communities that makes carrying a gun unnecessary.”

As twilight fell, the team left behind more than just words: they left seeds for lasting peace. Whether these take root depends not only on institutional change but also on the courage of individuals like Makur and Abuok.

Their words reflect the hope that still flickers in Lakes state: that even in a place tormented by cycles of conflict, there are those who choose peace.

eThekwini intensifies water management measures

Source: South Africa News Agency

The eThekwini Municipality’s Water and Sanitation Unit will intensify measures to enhance water management through various key initiatives, including the installation of strategic Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) in key network zones of the city.

This came during an Executive Committee (EXCO) meeting held on Tuesday, where several resolutions were adopted to accelerate implementation and respond to current challenges facing the municipality.

During the meeting, the municipal leadership approved measures aimed to accelerate implementation and address current water service delivery challenges facing the municipality.

During the meeting, management from the Water and Sanitation Unit presented an action plan aligned with the city’s Water Turnaround Strategy, which aims to reduce non-revenue water until it reaches acceptable standards.

The municipality said the installation of PRVs is a critical component in managing water pressure effectively and reduce incidents of bursts and leaks, which result in excessive water losses.

“Other initiatives in the action plan include maintenance of PRVs, installation of water restrictors, rehabilitation and refurbishment of district metered areas, performance-based contracts for leak detection and repairs, and installation of data loggers and trunk main pressure sensors,” the municipality reported after the meeting.

These initiatives are currently at the procurement process.

Strategic partnership with academic institutions renewed

The EXCO meeting also approved the renewal of a three-year Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with leading academic institutions, aimed at pursuing a common developmental research agenda to support policy development and improved service delivery.

The new MoA, effective from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028, includes partnerships with the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT), Stellenbosch University (SU), and the University of South Africa (UNISA).

Supporting the agreement, Chairperson of the Governance and Human Capital Committee, Nkosenhle Madlala, said the agreement will position eThekwini as a responsive and learning-oriented city.

“It is through such partnerships that we will be able to co-create solutions to our most complex developmental challenges, while ensuring that our policies are grounded in rigorous research and real-world insight,” Madlala said.

Parties are to contribute funding jointly to facilitate priority research deemed strategic and collaborative. The co-funding model will form basis of shared responsibility using the ratio 1:1.

The municipality’s financial contribution will be as follows:
•    2025/26 financial year: R500 000.
•    2026/27 financial year: R1 000 000.
•    2027/28 financial year: R 1 500 000.

Two committees will be established to achieve effectiveness under this partnership, including the Research and Operations Committee, and the Steering Committee. – SAnews.gov.za

Police Minister condemns threats against at Gift of the Givers staff

Source: South Africa News Agency

Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has strongly condemned the threats and intimidation directed at humanitarian organisation, Gift of the Givers, while they were delivering lifesaving assistance to flood-affected communities in Mthatha, Eastern Cape.

It is alleged that members of a so-called “water mafia”, linked to service providers contracted by the OR Tambo District Municipality, threatened Gift of the Givers staff as they distributed clean drinking water to residents impacted by the recent floods. 

Mchunu was in Mthatha this past weekend to engage with and thank members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) for their efforts during the floods, which have claimed 90 lives to date and displaced hundreds more. The Minister also addressed some of the affected families. 

“The police will not tolerate any attempt to intimidate or obstruct those who are working tirelessly to save lives and bring relief to our people. Gift of the Givers has consistently been a source of hope and dignity to South Africans in their hour of need.

“Any attack on them is an attack on the very principle of ubuntu. No individual or group will be allowed to profiteer off disaster or compromise the safety and well-being of our people. Law enforcement will act decisively. 

“The SAPS will ensure the safety of all humanitarian workers in the area, and hold those responsible fully accountable under the law. 

“We have also been made aware of individuals who go to the homes of those who lost their lives due to these floods, with a view to commit acts of theft from these homes. Police have been deployed to ensure the safety of the property of the deceased,” Mchunu said. 

The provincial government said plans are underway to hold a Provincial Day of Mourning on Thursday, 19 June 2025, in Decoligny Village, Mthatha.

Residents have been urged to report persons who went missing in the areas that were affected by the floods to law enforcement. 

President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the area last Friday to offer support and assess the damage. He was accompanied by government officials, key Ministers, the Premier, and local government representatives.

President Ramaphosa has expressed sadness over the loss of life during floods. The President offered his condolences to those who have lost loved ones. – SAnews.gov.za

SA views G7 as strategic partner in several areas 

Source: South Africa News Agency

South Africa views the Group of Seven (G7) as a strategic partner in its efforts to drive climate resilience, promote a just energy transition, and secure value-added investment in its rich mineral resources.

This is according to President Cyril Ramaphosa who was speaking following the conclusion of his working visit to Canada where he participated in the G7 Summit Outreach Session. The session took place on the margins of the G7 Leaders’ Summit, held in Kananaskis, Alberta.

“South Africa views the G7 as a strategic partner. We seek greater cooperation in areas such as investment, financing for development, international crime, climate change and just transitions, as well as inclusive global growth and development,” the President said on Tuesday.

READ | President in Canada for G7 Leaders’ Summit

The G7 consists of the largest advanced economies namely: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. 

The European Union also participates in G7 Summits, although it is not a member.  

The Outreach Session aimed “to explore leadership and collaboration in driving a comprehensive approach to energy security with a focus on technology and innovation; diversification and strengthening critical mineral supply chains; and infrastructure and investment”.

The outreach theme resonated with South Africa’s national interests and priorities of South Africa’s G20 Presidency.  

The Outreach Sessions of the G7 have been a feature of the Group over the years with the aim being to strengthen unity among G7 members and like-minded countries to deliberate on and address some of the world’s most pressing issues. 

President Ramaphosa described the summit as “most meaningful” particularly in the context of South Africa’s role as the G20 President.

“We’ve just concluded our visit to Canada to attend the G7 Summit. It has been most meaningful for us, particularly as we are the President of the G20. We’ve had the opportunity to interact with a number of heads of state and government of various countries,” he said.

Climate change 

President Ramaphosa placed climate change and its devastating effects at the centre of South Africa’s message to the G7 leaders, highlighting the destruction brought by floods in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, as well as the ongoing droughts in parts of the Western Cape. 

“We put that firmly on the global agenda, that there should be sufficient funding for incidents such as those, as they happen on a repeated basis, particularly in our sub region – in [the] SADC [Southern African Development Community], but more importantly, in two of our provinces, KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Cape [which] over the past few years have suffered repeated incidents of destruction from floods and also droughts in parts of the Western Cape,” the President explained.

Beneficiation 

On the economic front, President Ramaphosa also pushed for a shift in the global approach to Africa’s critical minerals, emphasising the need for beneficiation and inclusive value chains.

“We discussed the importance of how our critical minerals should be treated, particularly in view of the fact that they play such an important role in energy security and that the extraction of minerals from African countries and our own country, particularly, should be made more to be not only extractive, but also to have value add, where beneficiation becomes the order of the day,” he said. 

He said investors must be made aware upfront that South Africa seeks to move beyond raw exports to value-added production, in line with its long-held vision of selling finished goods rather than raw materials.

“Those who want to invest in our minerals, should know up front that we are not only looking forward to them extracting minerals, but also to value chain additions or advancements in the form of beneficiation, so that in the end, we live up to what we’ve been saying, that we want to sell value added products to the rest of the world,” the President stressed.

Bilateral meetings

The first citizen also held bilateral meetings with several leaders on the sidelines of the summit, which he described as “most beneficial” for South Africa’s diplomatic and economic engagements.

He held bilateral meetings with Heads of State and Government from Canada, France, Germany and the Republic of Korea. The meetings centered on fostering greater cooperation on issues of mutual interest. 

President Ramaphosa welcomed the strengthening of cooperation between South Africa and Canada as it relates to the G20 and the G7. 

“Canada’s Africa strategy is comprehensive and there is potential for cooperation in areas where there is alignment with the African Agenda.”

Several engagements have taken place between South Africa and Canada at various levels, including at Sherpa and Ministerial levels. – SAnews.gov.za

Tosyalı devient le plus grand producteur d’acier de Turquie et le troisième d’Europe

Le producteur d’acier mondial turc Tosyalı (www.TosyaliHolding.com.tr) poursuit sa croissance mondiale avec près de 50 installations sur 3 continents, une capacité de production d’acier liquide de 15 millions de tonnes et environ 15 000 employés.

Attirant l’attention avec ses investissements dans la production d’acier qualifié à haute valeur ajoutée en déterminant la durabilité comme agenda principal, Tosyalı grimpe rapidement les échelons de la production mondiale d’acier avec ses complexes de production dans différentes géographies du monde, ses produits d’acier vert produits avec une technologie avancée, la R&D et l’innovation, des capitaux propres solides et des employés hautement compétents.

Au milieu des conditions mondiales difficiles de 2024, une année difficile pour les producteurs d’acier du monde entier, Tosyalı a réalisé une montée rapide dans les classements mondiaux, ajoutant encore un autre succès à son record. Selon les données publiées par l’Association mondiale de l’acier, Tosyalı a produit 9,12 millions de tonnes d’acier liquide en 2024 et a grimpé de 21 places par rapport à l’année précédente, atteignant la 46e position dans le classement mondial. Avec une augmentation de 54,3% de la production, Tosyalı est devenu l’un des 3 producteurs d’acier à la croissance la plus rapide au monde. Aujourd’hui, Tosyalı a atteint la position du plus grand producteur d’acier de Turquie tout en renforçant également sa position forte sur la scène mondiale en tant que troisième plus grand producteur d’acier d’Europe. De plus, l’entreprise est entrée dans le top 50 des producteurs d’acier mondiaux, franchissant une étape importante pour l’industrie.

Fuat Tosyalı, Président du Conseil d’Administration de Tosyalı Holding : “Notre objectif est de devenir l’un des 20 premiers producteurs d’acier au monde”

Déclarant que le succès mondial de Tosyalı est basé sur des investissements stratégiques bien planifiés et une production d’acier qualifiée, Fuat Tosyalı, Président du Conseil d’Administration de Tosyalı Holding, a dit : “En tant que Tosyalı, nous avons identifié la durabilité, l’efficacité et les économies d’échelle comme trois priorités importantes. Avec cette stratégie, nous continuons à croître de manière saine et stable avec des investissements orientés vers l’éco-efficacité en Turquie et dans différentes géographies autour du monde. Nous avons achevé l’usine Tosyalı Demir Çelik İskenderun, le plus grand investissement industriel de notre pays ces dernières années, malgré la catastrophe du grand tremblement de terre et avons commencé la première production en 2023. Cette usine a éliminé les 4 millions de tonnes d’importations d’acier plat de la Turquie et a commencé à apporter une contribution significative aux exportations d’acier à valeur ajoutée.”

Fuat Tosyalı a continué: “Nous prenons des mesures fermes pour devenir l’un des centres de production sidérurgique intégrés les plus importants et stratégiques non seulement dans le bassin méditerranéen et en Afrique, mais aussi dans le monde avec nos investissements de quatrième phase dans notre complexe de production Tosyalı Algérie en cinq phases, qui est l’une des forces motrices de notre succès en tant qu’entreprise sidérurgique mondiale à ce jour. Nous avons également initié des investissements en Libye comme étape stratégique en Afrique. Avec nos investissements en Turquie, en Algérie, en Espagne et en Libye, nous renforçons notre position de producteur d’acier mondial jour après jour.”

Fuat Tosyalı a également souligné l’ampleur des investissements durables: “En tant que Tosyalı, notre montant total d’investissement au cours des 5 dernières années est de plus de 6 milliards USD et la majorité de ceux-ci sont des investissements orientés vers la durabilité. Nos investissements dans la R&D, la technologie avancée, la production circulaire et les sources d’énergie propre telles que le solaire et l’hydrogène continuent sans interruption. En même temps, nous nous concentrons sur l’efficacité, qui est également l’une des questions principales de la durabilité, et nous tendons à produire plus en consommant moins de ressources. Nous continuons à réaliser une croissance durable grâce à notre structure complètement indépendante, mais dynamique et efficace qui analyse tout de la mine au produit final dans l’écosystème Tosyalı.”

Tosyalı a conclu en déclarant: “Ainsi, nous continuons notre montée rapide mais stable dans les classements mondiaux. Entre 2020 et 2024, nous avons augmenté notre production mondiale d’acier brut de 110%. En raison de ces progrès, nous sommes entrés dans le top 50 des entreprises mondiales, devenant le plus grand producteur de Turquie et le troisième d’Europe. Parmi les 50 premières entreprises, nous sommes la seule à monter continuellement dans les classements mondiaux chaque année. Notre croissance stable et durable continue, et avec nos chiffres de production, nous avons pris une étape très forte vers le passage à la ligue suivante à l’échelle mondiale. Dans les 4–5 prochaines années, alors que nos investissements en cours commenceront la production, nous avancerons avec confiance vers notre objectif de devenir l’une des 20 premières entreprises sidérurgiques au monde.”
