28 April 2026 – The Deputy Minister of Electricity and Energy, Samantha Graham-Maré will be the keynote speaker at the Easigas Clean Cooking Initiative (ECCI 2030) in Mogwase, near Rustenburg on 28 April 2026. Graham-Maré said Easigas is set to introduce its first-of-a-kind, women-led LPG bulk facility.
She said the ECCI 2030 is a scalable, community-driven programme accelerating access to clean, safe and affordable cooking solutions across underserved communities. Graham-Maré further said this initiative demonstrates how their G20 clean cooking legacy continues to expand across various parts of the country.
“I’m thrilled to speak at this event, particularly since the private sector is showing its commitment to advancing clean cooking. These interventions are empowering, life-changing and needed in many parts of South Africa. I am also pleased that a woman will be leading this LPG bulk facility,” she added.
