City of Tshwane commended for swift response to Typhoid outbreak

Source: Government of South Africa

The Ministry of Water and Sanitation (DWS) has commended the swift action undertaken by the City of Tshwane (CoT), DWS, and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) following the recent typhoid cases reported in the Hammanskraal and Bronkhorstspruit areas.

Since January 2025, a total of 48 typhoid fever cases have been reported in Hammanskraal, Bronkhorstspruit, and the East of Pretoria.

Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina, together with Deputy Ministers David Mahlobo and Sello Seitlholo, Gauteng MEC for Infrastructure Development and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Jacob Mamabolo, and Acting Executive Mayor of Tshwane Eugene Modise, convened a meeting on Monday, 3 November 2025.

The meeting reviewed reports from technical teams on the recently reported typhoid fever outbreak and assessed the measures implemented to contain it.

Preliminary reports confirm that the city’s water supply is not the source of the outbreak. Water samples taken by the City of Tshwane in all its supply and distribution systems, including Magalies and Rand Water, as well as boreholes, and water tankers, have tested negative for Salmonella Typhi bacteria, which causes typhoid fever.

The meeting was encouraged by the city’s continuous water quality tests and monitoring from various points in its network to ensure early detection and containment of any potential contamination.

In addition, DWS has been instructed to request the Water Research Commission (WRC) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to assist with independent monitoring and testing.

The meeting also noted persistent water supply challenges in some areas of Tshwane, and that access to safe water is essential for public health and hygiene.

“The Ministry is concerned that the current incidents of typhoid are occurring in a community which has recently recovered from a cholera outbreak. Both cholera and typhoid can be spread through either through consuming contaminated water or through poor food handling and hygiene.

“The meeting also noted the erratic functionality of the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works which is currently operating at 38 megalitre per day (ML/d) out of its design capacity of 54 ML/d due to its poor condition. The Ministry welcomes the city’s intervention plan to bring the water treatment works to operate at full design capacity and its future plans to upgrade the plant to increase its treatment capacity,” the department said in a statement.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to respond to water challenges in Tshwane. Significant progress has been made in completing the Klipdrift Package Plant to alleviate water supply issues in Hammanskraal, but more work still needs to be done.

“Progress is being closely monitored by the Ministry, provincial government and the city. In the meantime, in areas that experience intermittent or no water supply at all, Tshwane will continue to provide water using alternative means of supply such as water tankering, with a clear tankering plan and monitoring mechanism,” the department said.

Members of the public are urged to avoid consuming raw water from rivers, dams, and streams, which may pose serious health risks.

Communities are further advised to always observe hygiene protocols, which include but not limited to regular handwashing with soap and water, and to observe basic hygiene and safe storage of water and careful handling of food. – SAnews.gov.za

SA makes strides in fighting environmental crime

Source: Government of South Africa

Wednesday, November 5, 2025

The international community has taken forward the work of fighting against environmental crime from the margins to the centre of global cooperation due to the work that began under South Africa’s Group of Twenty (G20) Presidency.

Last month, the Cape Town Declaration on Crimes that Affect the Environment was adopted, marking the first time that major economies recognised environmental crime as organised crime.

“The Cape Town Declaration was the turning point. It was the first time that G20 nations recognised crimes that affect the environment as organised crimes that demand a united response. The outcomes in Rio prove that multilateralism, when rooted intrust and cooperation, can deliver tangible results,” Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Dr Dion George, said on Wednesday. 

The Cape Town Ministerial Declaration on Crimes that Affect the Environment calls for stronger global cooperation to combat illegal wildlife trade, deforestation, mining, waste trafficking and other transnational crimes that undermine environmental security, societies and economic integrity.

In a significant milestone this week, the Rio Declaration on Crimes that Affect the Environment was adopted in Brazil.

It builds directly on the Cape Town Ministerial Declaration on Crimes that Affect the Environment, led by South Africa and adopted by G20 nations, representing more than 85 percent of the global economy, last month. 

The Rio Declaration was led by the Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife programme, with Brazil, South Africa, and other governments committing to stronger collective action against crimes that affect the environment.

“The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment congratulates the Government of Brazil, the Royal Foundation, and all international partners on the adoption of the Rio Declaration. South Africa remains committed to turning global ambition into lasting action for people and the planet.” –SAnews.gov.za

One-Stop Border Post Bill to intensify economic growth

Source: Government of South Africa

Home Affairs Minister Leon Shreiber says tabling of the One-Stop Border Post Bill before the National Assembly serves as a testament to the Government of National Unity’s commitment to intensify its work to generate economic growth and combat unemployment.

“This Bill is set to create the framework for South Africa to massively boost regional trade and growth,” Shreiber said.

Briefing the National Assembly in Parliament on Tuesday, Schreiber said the One-Stop Border Post Bill will enable the BMA [Border Management Authority] and other stakeholders in the port environment to integrate and coordinate its operations with neighbouring countries through the creation of common control zones.

Schreiber explained that the bill will speed up turnaround times at ports of entry, by eliminating the need for cargo to be processed twice when crossing an international border.

“For the people of South Africa, this bill will enable faster, more efficient, more modern, and more secure cross-border trade, taking our country one step closer to realising the vision of the African Continental Free Trade Area,” Schreiber said.

Schreiber said the Department of Home Affairs is working every day to play its part in driving the type of rational and effective economic reforms that will deliver growth and jobs. 

“This includes the implementation of the points-based system for skilled work visas and the Trusted Employer Scheme (TES), which has already significantly boosted access to high end skills,” he said.

Schreiber explained that the work is now being turbocharged through the implementation of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which is automating application and adjudication processes for tourist visas. 

“Once final approval is granted by National Treasury, the sod will start turning as a physical symbol of South Africa’s progress in redefining efficiency and security at our ports of entry,” he said.

Schreiber said studies estimate that even a five percent reduction in border clearance time can increase intra-regional exports by around 10 percent.

“I am delighted to report that the first 200 ETA applications have already been processed as part of phase 1 for G20 delegates, and that the system is working smoothly. As we open the ETA up to all tourists in phases, we will inject growth into our tourism sector on a scale not seen before,” he said. 

The bill seeks to regulate the establishment of one-stop border posts through international  agreements, to provide for the establishment of common control zones in the territory of an adjoining state, to provide for one-stop border processing arrangements, to authorise the application of the laws of the Republic and the adjoining state in the one-stop border post and to provide for matters connected therewith. – SAnews.gov.za

Apelo do Afreximbank para o reforço das capacidades de financiamento do comércio para acelerar o crescimento inclusivo em toda África

Source: Africa Press Organisation – Portuguese –

Ao discursar na abertura do 25.º Seminário de Financiamento do Comércio do Afreximbank (ATFS) em Abidjan, a Sr.ª Gwen Mwaba, Administradora para o Financiamento do Comércio e Correspondência Bancária do Afreximbank (www.Afreximbank.com), apelou para o reforço da capacidades de financiamento do comércio e a uma colaboração mais profunda entre as instituições financeiras africanas para acelerar o crescimento inclusivo e sustentável em todo o continente.

“África é rica em recursos naturais, tais como minerais, hidrocarbonetos, produtos agrícolas e um leque crescente de oportunidades de valor acrescentado nas áreas da energia, metais e logística. Estes recursos representam um enorme potencial de desenvolvimento quando financiados de forma responsável, eficiente e com uma gestão de risco rigorosa. Para transformar este potencial em resultados tangíveis, precisamos de bancos e instituições financeiras que não só estejam cientes dos riscos, mas que sejam competentes em termos estruturais” afirmou a Sr.ª Mwaba.

Enfatizou o importante papel dos profissionais de finanças qualificados na definição do futuro do comércio africano e a importância do reforço das capacidades para transformar os abundantes recursos naturais e humanos de África em desenvolvimento económico tangível.

“Banqueiros bem treinados, com capacidades sofisticadas de estruturação de negócios, podem adaptar o financiamento a cadeias de valor intensivas em capital e alinhar o financiamento de projectos com as necessidades de desenvolvimento local e as salvaguardas ambientais”, afirmou a Sr.ª Mwaba.

“O financiamento do comércio baseado na confiança, na avaliação de riscos e na liquidez continua a ser a força motriz do comércio, do investimento e da criação de empregos. A nossa tarefa colectiva é garantir que essa força motriz flua de forma fiável para as empresas que dela necessitam e que os seus benefícios sejam amplamente partilhados.”

A cerimónia de abertura contou com a presença, entre outros, de representantes do Governo da Côte d’Ivoire, incluindo o Sr. Patrick Olivier Daipo, Director Adjunto do Gabinete do Ministério do Comércio da República da Côte d’Ivoire, o Sr. Chalouho Coulibaly, Director Nacional do Banco Central dos Estados da África Ocidental (BCEAO), que representou o Dr. Jean-Claude Kassi Brou, Governador do BCEAO, e o Sr. Jérôme Ahua, Director-Geral Adjunto do Banco BNI, que representou igualmente a Associação de Bancos.

Agora no seu 25.º ano, este Seminário Anual de Financiamento do Comércio do Afreximbank é o principal programa de reforço de capacidades do Afreximbank, que tem proporcionado formação a milhares de banqueiros, credores, financiadores e decisores políticos africanos desde a sua criação. A edição deste ano representa um marco importante: um quarto de século a capacitar profissionais de finanças africanos e a aprofundar a experiência do continente na estruturação e execução de soluções de financiamento do comércio.

Destacando a liderança do Afreximbank no ecossistema de financiamento do comércio africano, a Sr.ª Mwaba afirmou que, ao longo de mais de três décadas, o Banco construiu uma carteira de programas e facilidades que apoiam a integração regional, a criação de valor acrescentado e a criação de emprego. Estes incluem:

  • Financiamento em grande escala para os sectores orientados para a exportação e infra-estruturas facilitadoras do comércio;
  • Ferramentas inovadoras de partilha de riscos e reforço do crédito para mobilizar capital privado;
  • Facilidades especializadas para o financiamento de matérias-primas e projectos, alinhadas com salvaguardas ambientais e sociais; e
  • Programas de reforço de capacidades específicos para aumentar as competências dos banqueiros e decisores políticos africanos.

O Seminário de Financiamento do Comércio do Afreximbank vai explorar os principais temas que definem o futuro do financiamento do comércio em África, incluindo o papel da digitalização, dos dados, da tecnologia e da transparência; a gestão robusta do risco num ambiente global cada vez mais volátil; e a importância da colaboração entre bancos, instituições multilaterais de desenvolvimento, empresas de tecnologia financeira, exportadores e decisores políticos para criar soluções escalonáveis e sustentáveis.

Ao concluir o seu discurso, a Sr.ª Mwaba mostrou-se confiante de que as discussões em Abidjan conduziriam a resultados tangíveis e reforçariam ainda mais o ecossistema de financiamento do comércio em África.

O Seminário de Financiamento do Comércio do Afreximbank realiza-se de 04 a 06 de Novembro de 2025 em Abidjan, subordinado ao tema “Reforço das Capacidades de Financiamento do Comércio para um Crescimento Inclusivo e Sustentável em África”. O Seminário será seguido por um Workshop de Cessão Financeira (Factoring) de um dia, a 07 de Novembro de 2025.
