Police officer re-arrested for failure to appear in court

The Hawks’ National Priority Violent Crime team based in Bellville has re- arrested Busie Linda Dyani (50) on a warrant of arrest for failure to appear in court.

It is reported that on 6 May 2019, while on duty and in full police uniform, Dyani, who was the Mfuleni South African Police Service (SAPS) Media Liaison Officer, went to a registered firearms dealer in Stellenbosch. 

She allegedly produced a false firearm licence to the dealer in order to collect a Musgrave Hunting rifle. It was alleged she purchased the firearm on 9 April 2019 and she paid an amount of R9000.

It was reported that the dealer became suspicious of the licence card, as it was issued to a security company but the purchase was for a hunting rifle.

The matter was then escalated to the Hawks for probing and it was established that she misrepresented the security company and claimed that she was the responsible person. She was arrested and made court appearance in Stellenbosch on 9 May 2019.

A further probe led to the arrest of Makhenke Sokoyi (39) after it was established that he was the person who provided the false firearm licence to Dyani.

The trial commenced on 6 July 2021 at the Stellenbosch Regional Court and Dyani failed to appear as the trial continued.

On Wednesday, Dyani was traced in the Eastern Cape and was arrested. She appeared at the East London Magistrates Court on Thursday and was transported back to Cape Town where she will appear in the Paarl Regional Court on Monday. 

Accused 2, Sokoyi, is in custody on another unrelated matter. – SAnews.gov.za

Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis (ANPG) redefine as regras para campos maduros com o Decreto de Produção Incremental

Source: Africa Press Organisation – Portuguese –

O regulador do upstream em Angola – a Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis (ANPG) – está a revitalizar a produção nos campos petrolíferos maduros do país através da implementação do Decreto de Produção Incremental. Durante a pré-conferência da Angola Oil & Gas 2025 – realizada antes da abertura oficial da conferência, que terá lugar a 3 de Setembro – Victor dos Santos, Coordenador da Produção Incremental da ANPG, apresentou os incentivos fiscais e tributários previstos no decreto. A sessão contou com o patrocínio da ANPG.

“O Decreto de Produção Incremental visa recuperar o valor económico dos activos, tendo em conta que estes já são maduros e produziram cerca de 70% das reservas iniciais. Como estão em operação há 17 anos ou mais, as suas infraestruturas estão envelhecidas. Percebemos que ainda existem oportunidades não desenvolvidas nestes activos. Implementámos termos que permitem aos operadores investir nessas oportunidades”, destacou Victor dos Santos.

Concebido para maximizar a produção nos campos maduros de Angola, o decreto é parte central da estratégia do Governo para manter a produção acima de um milhão de barris por dia e reforçar a atractividade do reinvestimento em activos já em produção. Entre os benefícios, destacam-se: estabilizar a produção de base; permitir que os operadores produzam acima da capacidade base; aumentar a eficiência operacional; equilibrar os interesses dos stakeholders; promover a exploração adicional em activos já em produção; e desbloquear potenciais anteriormente considerados inviáveis face aos termos fiscais então em vigor.

“Há uma redução fiscal disponível para os operadores. No âmbito dos Contratos de Partilha de Produção, o Imposto sobre o Rendimento do Petróleo (IRP) foi reduzido de 50% para 25%, enquanto nos contratos de associação o IRP baixou de 65,75% para 55,75%”, explicou o responsável.

Estes incentivos permitem prolongar a vida útil dos activos em produção, bem como das infraestruturas e equipamentos associados, assegurando a manutenção de postos de trabalho e a dinamização da actividade dos prestadores de serviços. Ao aumentar a produção, Angola reforça o factor de recuperação e maximiza as receitas para todas as partes envolvidas. Com o Decreto de Produção Incremental, os operadores podem recuperar custos de poços de exploração, independentemente da existência de descobertas. Campos marginais dentro de blocos em produção também beneficiam de termos contratuais e fiscais diferenciados.

O Decreto de Produção Incremental junta-se a outras medidas introduzidas pela ANPG para atrair investimento em diferentes tipos de ativos – desde campos de grande escala a activos marginais e projectos não-associados.

“Implementámos o Decreto 5/18 para permitir que os operadores continuassem actividades de exploração dentro das áreas de desenvolvimento. Este decreto surgiu como incentivo, considerando que durante a fase de desenvolvimento alguns campos atingem a maturidade. Assim, assegura-se a extensão da vida útil para além da licença de produção”, prosseguiu.

Acrescentando que “a segunda política que implementámos foi o Decreto 6/18, direccionado a campos marginais, com melhores termos fiscais que permitem às empresas desenvolver estes activos. O Decreto 7/18 centrou-se na monetização do gás. Também implementámos incentivos através do Decreto 8/14, para estimular a produção adicional em campos maduros. Isto permite atrair mais investimento.”

National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency (ANPG) Rewrites the Rules for Mature Fields with Incremental Production Decree

Source: APO

Angola’s upstream regulator – the National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency (ANPG) – is revitalizing production across the country’s mature oilfields through the implementation of the Incremental Production Decree. Delivering a presentation during the Angola Oil & Gas 2025 pre-conference – hosted ahead of the main conference agenda taking place on September 3 – Victor Dos Santos, Incremental Production Core Coordinator at the ANPG, shared insights into the fiscal and tax incentives offered through the decree. The presentation was sponsored by the ANPG.

“The Incremental Production Decree is aimed at recovering the economic value of assets, bearing in mind that these assets are mature and have produced about 70% of their initial reserves. Since they have been producing for 17 years or more, their facilities are ageing. We realized that there are still some undeveloped opportunities at these assets. We implemented terms that allowed operators to invest in these opportunities,” Dos Santos shared.

Aimed at maximizing output at Angola’s mature fields, the decree is a central part of the government’s efforts to sustain oil production above one million barrels per day, strengthening the attractiveness of reinvesting in producing assets. Benefits include addressing production decline by stabilizing base production; enabling operators to produce above-base production; enhancing operational efficiency; balancing stakeholder take; promoting additional exploration within producing assets; and unlocking stranded potential that was not typically economically viable with the current fiscal terms.

“There is tax reduction available for operators. Under the Production Sharing Agreement, Petroleum Income Tax (PIT) has been reduced from 50% to 25%, while for an association contract, PIT has been reduced from 65.75% to 55.75%,” Dos Santos said.

These incentives ensure that operators are able to extend the lifespan of producing assets as well as their associated facilities and equipment, thereby maintaining the workforce and introducing new activities for service providers. By increasing production, Angola is enhancing the recovery factor and maximize revenues for all stakeholders. Through the Incremental Production Decree, operators can recovery exploration well costs, regardless of whether a discovery is made. Marginal fields within producing blocks also stand to benefit through differentiated contractual and fiscal terms.

The Incremental Production Decree is not the only policy change brought about by the ANPG. Striving to entice investment across a variety of assets – from large-scale fields to marginal assets to non-associated projects – the ANPG has introduced a series of measures in recent years that offers improved fiscals for upstream players.

“We implemented a decree – Decree 5/18 – to allow operators to continue exploration activities within the development areas. This decree was supposed to be an incentive to operators, bearing in mind that during the development phase, some fields would mature. This ensures that fields can be extended beyond the production license.”

He added that “the second policy we implemented was Decree 6/18 – targeting marginal fields. We implemented this decree to allow operators to have better fiscal terms to enable companies to develop fields. Decree 7/18 focused on the monetization of gas. We also implemented incentives through Decree 8/14 to stimulate additional production in mature fields. This allows investors to invest more.”

SARS makes R56m cocaine bust in KZN

Source: Government of South Africa

Friday, September 5, 2025

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has made a cocaine bust of some R56 million after a vessel was intercepted off the east coast of Durban.

According to the revenue service, the bust was as a result of a collaborative intelligence-driven operation.

“A Customs Marine Patrol vessel intercepted a cargo ship near the Fairway Bouy at outer anchorage approximately 4 nautical miles off the east coast of Durban and escorted it to its berth in the harbour. Customs enforcement officers boarded the vessel and located a number of containers identified prior to the arrival of the vessel as posing a potential risk for smuggling.

“The inspection resulted in the discovery of 25 large bricks of suspected cocaine hidden in the refrigeration units of several containers. A field drug test was conducted and positively identified the goods as cocaine of a very high quality suitable for further dilution and expansion into larger volumes for illicit distribution,” SARS said.

The goods have been seized and handed over to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for “further safe keeping, investigation and prosecution”.

SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter said the bust came is as a result of collaboration with Brazilian counterparts. 

“It is such collaboration that communicates concrete cooperation within BRICS countries that deal a heavy blow against organised crime syndicates. This achievement also signals that the efforts by all law enforcement agencies in our county are taking on the challenge of protecting our borders,” Kieswetter said. – SAnews.gov.za

The Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025) kicks off in Algiers as leaders call for acceleration in Intra-African trade

Source: APO

Africa’s premier trade and investment event, the Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025), officially opened in Algiers with calls for African countries to accelerate growth in Intra-African trade and boost economic integration.

Addressing delegates including African and Caribbean leaders, and business executives who graced IATF2025’s official opening ceremony in Algiers, the President of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, H.E. Abdelmadjid Tebboune challenged the countries to deepen economic ties by increasing trade flows to drive growth, create jobs, and shield the economies from effects of current global geopolitical events.

The President stressed the need to enhance connectivity across the continent by addressing infrastructure gaps that will facilitate Intra-African trade. He listed Algeria’s ongoing regional infrastructural projects including the Trans-Sahara Road linking Algiers to neighbouring countries, the Algeria Gas Pipe securing the region’s energy needs, and optic fibre for digital sovereignty. This is besides enhancing air and maritime links with neighbouring countries.

Hosted by the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, IATF2025 is, for the next seven days, gathering thousands of visitors and buyers, as well as over 2,000 exhibitors from all over the world. The event is co-convened by African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union Commission and the AfCFTA Secretariat, and is projected to facilitate trade and investment deals worth over US$44 billion.

According to the Chairman of the IATF2025 Advisory Council and former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, 48 African countries are participating in IATF2025 exhibitions, the largest so far since IATF’s founding in 2018.

“In the past editions spanning over eight years, IATF has demonstrated the power to connect buyers, sellers, investors, innovators, and governments from every corner of Africa and now global Africa. IATF has become the engine accelerating trade expansion and investment flows,” H.E. Obasanjo added.

Since inception in 2018, IATF has brought together over 4,500 exhibitors, attracted more than 70,000 participants from across 130 countries, and facilitated trade and investment deals exceeding US$118billion. Thousands of African businesses have connected with new partners and entered new markets through the platform.

H.E. Obasanjo highlighted the US$2.9 billion Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (Rufiji Dam), one of Africa’s largest energy infrastructure undertakings among IATF’s many success stories. The deal was concluded at the 2018 Trade Fair in Cairo between Egyptian contractors and the Government of Tanzania and executed solely by African companies, becoming the largest Intra-African EPC deal in the continent.

The Secretary General of the AfCFTA Secretariat, H.E. Wamkele Mene challenged leaders to accelerate implementation of AfCFTA to build resilience and safeguard the continent’s collective interests in light of the current global uncertainties and shifting trade patterns.

“Intra-African trade rebounded strongly in 2024, reaching $220.3 billion, a 12.4% increase from 2023, according to Afreximbank’s African Trade Report 2025. This recovery underscores growing confidence in Africa’s integration model under the AfCFTA. The data shows a gradual shift in the continent’s trade composition. While primary commodities still dominate, there is a clear growth in machinery, motor vehicles, food products, chemicals, and electronics. This shift signals our continent’s transition from raw commodity dependency toward industrial diversification, a shift that will only be sustained by stronger logistics and manufacturing value chains,” H.E Mene.

The Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Amb Selma Malika Haddadi noted that Africa contributes only 2.9% to global trade; and that while Intra-African trade still represents a small fraction of the continent’s overall trade, it has been steadily increasing, expanding by 27% between 2017 and 2023..

“Our internal trade can be a powerful agent for industrialisation. Indeed, unlike our international trade, Intra-African trade is mainly driven by manufactured products. While Africa’s exports outside the continent only constitute 20% of manufactured goods, 45% of trade between African countries comprises manufactured goods. Despite its potential, Intra-African trade still represents a mere 15% of total African trade. This imbalance is not only the result of an unfair international trade regime. It is also the result of choices we have made, and therefore choices we have the power to change. Intra-African trade is and should be our point of focus,” H.E. Haddadi added.

The President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), Prof. Benedict Oramah noted that since 2018, IATF has proven to be a solid platform for launching winning ideas and initiatives, forging continental and global partnerships, unlocking critical funding, and visualising unprecedented market opportunities.

“IATF is proving to be a formidable platform for the new struggle for economic independence of all Africans, regardless of colour, creed, location, gender, or status. We believe that we have built a platform and supporting ecosystem where young Africans who may change the way the world reads, lives, interrelates, does business, and manages their health will one day emerge. The proof is in what we have seen emerge from this platform since 2018. IATF2025 marks a significant milestone in our journey towards attaining Africa’s economic emancipation, through intra-regional trade and investment,” Prof Oramah said.

The IATF2025 programme is designed for game-changing conversations, high-level negotiations, and vibrant cultural showcases all designed to accelerate Africa’s integration and economic transformation under the AfCFTA.

This year’s programme is packed with unmissable moments; notably the Global Africa Diaspora Day – celebrating the continent’s ties with its diaspora; the Algeria Investment Forum showcasing the host nation’s gateway potential; Arise Industrialisation Day driving value addition; Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) spotlighting the power of Africa’s cultural industries; the Africa Automotive Show uniting the continent’s automotive manufacturing ecosystem; the Dangote Pavilion and Dangote Special Day celebrating intra-African trade and industrial champions; and the AU Youth Start-Up platform empowering the next generation of African entrepreneurs.

Additionally, on stage will be some of the most influential voices shaping the future of Africa and the Caribbean, together with many others from across government, business, innovation, energy, and agriculture, these voices will shape conversations that advance Africa and the Caribbean’s shared future.
