President Cyril Ramaphosa’s public engagement program for May 2023 demonstrates his administration’s dedication to promoting and strengthening South Africa’s global presence. The program encompasses various events and activities covering a wide range of topics, from healthcare to regional peace and security, as well as bilateral relationships with other countries.

One of the critical events of the program is the 2nd Presidential Health Summit. The Summit aims to bring together key stakeholders from various constituencies within the health sector to assess the implementation of interventions agreed upon during the first Summit held in 2018. In addition, the Summit will also evaluate the performance of the health system against the Presidential Health Compact signed by the President and all social partners in 2019, committing social partners to a five-year program to improve healthcare services in the country.

The 11th High-Level Summit of the Regional Oversight Mechanism

Another important event is the 11th High-Level Summit of the Regional Oversight Mechanism of the Peace, Security, and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region. The Summit will occur amid the deteriorating political and security situation in Eastern DRC caused by the resurgence of the M23 rebel movement. The Summit will discuss the deployment of East African Community (EAC) troops and their role in dealing with opposing forces in the eastern DRC, notably the M23.

Extra-ordinary Organ Troika Summit Plus

President Ramaphosa will attend the Extraordinary Organ Troika Summit Plus and Force Intervention brigade troop-contributing countries in Windhoek, Namibia. The Summit will receive a report from the SADC Field Assessment Mission in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and consider the regional response to the worsening security and humanitarian situation.

The Southern Ocean in Flux: Unveiling a Climate Crisis at the Bottom of the World

The Southern Ocean, once a steady guardian of Antarctica’s ice, is now changing in surprising ways. Instead of staying cold and fresh, its surface is growing saltier as warm, deep waters rise, melting sea ice and releasing ancient carbon into the air. This shift threatens Antarctic wildlife, like penguins and krill, and could speed up global warming while altering weather far beyond the South Pole. What seemed like a stable natural fortress is now a warning sign of a fragile climate, urging us to act before more damage unfolds.

South Africa’s Driver’s Licence Crisis: Breakdown, Backlogs, and the Fight for Solutions

South Africa is facing a big problem with driver’s licences because an old, single machine broke down, stopping over 600,000 licences from being printed. This mess came from years of poor planning and delays, leaving many drivers stuck and worried about their legal right to drive. The government is trying new ideas, like making a new printing machine with help from another department, and giving drivers a grace period while they fix things. Despite the troubles, people keep hoping and working together to find solutions and get back on the road.

South Africa Faces a Tariff Tsunami: Industry, Agriculture, and Hope on the Edge

South Africa faces a big challenge as the US plans to add a 30% tariff on many exports starting in 2025. This hit will hurt important industries like carmaking and steel, and also make citrus fruit and wine much more expensive to sell in America. Thousands of jobs in factories and on farms could be lost, hurting local communities. South Africa must find new markets and work hard with US leaders to soften the blow. Despite the storm ahead, the country’s people stay hopeful and ready to fight for their future.

South Africa’s home market is changing slowly, with people taking more time to buy and sell due to higher prices and economic struggles. Many sellers are downsizing to smaller, easiertomanage homes, while new buyers, especially young adults and women, prefer safer, lowmaintenance sectional title properties. Rent is rising too, pushing many to save harder for their first home. Though challenges remain, careful buyers and sellers who understand these shifts can still find good opportunities ahead.

Farewell to the Green ID Book: South Africa’s Leap into Digital Identity

South Africa is saying goodbye to the old green ID book because it’s easy to fake and not safe enough for today’s digital world. The country is switching to smart ID cards and digital IDs that use biometric technology, making identity safer and easier to use. Banks are helping by offering new ID services, so soon people can apply online or at their local branch. By 2029, all South Africans are expected to have these new digital IDs, marking a big step toward a modern, secure future. This change is about keeping everyone safe while making sure no one gets left behind.
