            <description><![CDATA[Eskom chairperson Dr Mteto Nyati, whose term has been extended by a further three years, says the board’s top priority has shifted from guaranteeing electricity stability to ensuring affordability. In addition, he drew a direct link between that goal and moves under way to fully separate the National Transmission Company South Africa from Eskom Holdings, while questioning the prevailing view that he and the board were opposed to such restructuring. Speaking after Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa confirmed that Cabinet had endorsed his reappointment as from November 1, Nyati said the board would now focus on implementing the ‘Eskom 2.0’ strategy outlined for it by its shareholder. The strategy has multiple objectives, but places emphasis on the need for affordable electricity for both businesses and households and to facilitate government’s reindustrialisation vision.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The Southern African Institute of Steel Construction (SAISC) has confirmed that its fabricating members have experienced supply constraints following the closure of ArcelorMittal South Africa's Newcastle long-steel operations and is calling for temporary tariff relief as a bridging measure while alternative local supply is developed. CEO Amanuel Gebremeskel tells Engineering News that the consequences of the closure for the downstream sector have been significant, with shortages of structural steel products having affected the ability of fabricators to price, programme and execute projects with certainty.]]></description>
