North West has energy potential, nuclear and biogas niche – Minister Peters


BY Obakeng Maje

The North West Province has oil and gas potential that is being explored by the Petroleum Agency of South Africa (PASA), Minister of Energy Dipuo Peters revealed in her keynote address delivered at the economic infrastructure colloquium that commenced at Sun City on Monday.

Minister Peters said that the North West Province is well positioned to be a nuclear skills development hub especially in view of the role that the North West University is already playing by producing the world sought after nuclear professionals.

The Minister called on the provincial government to continue to support the university in its rare skills development endeavour.

Peters also identified the province’s competitive advantage to lead in biogas as cow dung provides another potential energy source.  

“We also believe that we need to work together with communities on programmes like Working for Energy, where with the support of the South African National Energy Development Institute we can exploit the Biogas potential due to the fact that NW is the cattle ranch of South Africa,” she stressed.

The two-day colloquium themed “Growth and Development Colloquim: Strategies to unlock the economic potential of the North West Province” to focus on strategic development priorities of water, energy, economic infrastructure and roads identified by Premier Thandi Modise is aimed at:

  • ·         Establishing an understanding of the significance of infrastructure development to growth and development in the province
  • ·         Exploring infrastructure development to accelerate job creation
  • ·         Laying the foundation for the development of the provincial long term plan that is aligned to the National Development Plan
  • ·         Interacting with other role players in infrastructure development

The colloquium which has attracted public sector and public sector from across all spheres of government and the private sector ends on Tuesday.

 

Bogus brigadier fools cops


ND INJA (27327910)

Musa Khumalo

KwaZulu-Natal – When Johannesburg police circulated a picture of an alleged killer who had escaped from custody, alarm bells rang for their counterparts in KwaZulu-Natal, where some knew him for his sterling work as a police brigadier.

 

Zimbabwean Musa or Muzi Khumalo had escaped from a Joburg jail early last year, allegedly with the help of a warder, only days after he had been charged with murder.

Now there are concerns that he may have used his “position” in the elite Hawks unit to shut down opposition crime syndicates.

National police commissioner General Riah Phiyega and Hawks boss Lieutenant-General Anwa Dramat are determined to see him behind bars.

Johannesburg – A 16-year-old alleged victim of the so-called “Sunday rapist” recounted on Monday how she was kidnapped, blindfolded, and sexually assaulted.

“A bakkie stopped next to me and a man got out and pointed a gun at me,” the girl told the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in Alberton.

The girl, who was 14-years-old at the time, was testifying in the trial of Johannes Jacobus Steyn, who is accused of murdering schoolgirls Louise de Waal and Lazanne Farmer.

She gave evidence in camera as she is a minor. Her mother sat with her for support in a room outside the court. Her father sat in the courtroom.

The girl testified that her kidnapper, who wore a wig and large sunglasses, blindfolded her and drove her to an unknown location.

He forced her to smoke and tried to kiss her, but she pulled away.

“He told me to do what he says and stop being stubborn.”

She said she started crying. He undressed her and saw she was menstruating.
