# Afrika se sonkragsektor kan in 2025 groot groei ondervind, met nuwe aanlegte wat volgens vooruitskattings met 42-persent sal toeneem. Die Globale Sonkragraad sê ondanks ‘n verstadiging in Suid-Afrika, is daar vinnige uitbreiding in Wes-Afrika, met Ghana wat sy vermoë viermalig sal vermeerder tot 94-megawatt. Hoë kapitaalkoste bly egter ‘n uitdaging. Ontleders sê Amerika se […]

# Amerika het ‘n klimaatsfinansieringspakket van 47-miljard-rand aan Suid-Afrika teruggehou, wat kommer wek dat dit heeltemal stopgesit kan word. Amerikaanse beamptes het op ‘n onlangse vergadering die goedkeuring voorkom van ‘n uitbetaling van nege-miljard-rand, wat verdere befondsing kon ontsluit het. Die stap dra by tot die spanning tussen die lande, met vorige Amerikaanse optrede wat […]

The move adds to tensions between the nations, as past US actions include halting funding for […]
