Yesterday, we had the honor of being invited by the Hendicc Boer Foundation to attend a Climate Change Act workshop. The workshop was facilitated by Mr. Sikhwebu Dinga, and Earthlife Africa was also part of the program, represented by Ulrich.

The Climate Change Act, which was promulgated on 12 March 2025, was a significant milestone in the fight against climate change. It took 20 years for the act to be successfully passed, and during the workshop, we learned about the basic steps that were taken for the bill to be signed by President Ramaphosa.Yesterday, we had the honor of being invited by the Hendicc Boer Foundation to attend a Climate Change Act workshop.

The workshop was insightful and informative, providing us with a greater understanding of the importance of addressing climate change and the role that legislation can play in tackling this global issue. It was encouraging to see the dedication and commitment of individuals and organizations like the Hendicc Boer Foundation and Earthlife Africa in advocating for climate action.

Overall, the workshop served as a reminder of the urgent need for action on climate change and the importance of collaboration and advocacy in driving meaningful change. We left the workshop feeling inspired and motivated to continue working towards a sustainable and resilient future for our planet.

On Monday the 22nd of June, ECCEF participated in a community gathering with residents of Ikamvelihle and employees of Autoforce, a company that transports manganese in the Markman industrial area. Our presence at this event was driven by our concerns regarding the environmental and health impacts on the residential areas near the manganese processing plant.

During the meeting, we engaged in discussions with the management of Autoforce, representatives of the workers, and a Ward Councillor from the Motherwell area. We highlighted issues relating to air quality in the region, citing a recent report from the NMB Air Quality committee. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of implementing Environmental Social
Safeguards to protect the well-being of the community.

Following the initial gathering, all stakeholders agreed to convene for a follow-up meeting to further address these pressing concerns. It is our hope
that through continued dialogue and collaboration, we can work towards mitigating the environmental and
health challenges faced by residents
near the manganese processing p@lant.

On a recent day, the Eastern Cape Combined Environmental Forum (ECCEF) was extended an invitation by Enviroserv to partake in an Open Day Programme at their Aloes Waste Management Facility in Gqeberha. This offered us the unique opportunity to gain insight into the operations of one of the leading waste management companies in the region.

As we arrived at the site offices, we were greeted by representatives from Enviroserv who guided us to one of their new landfill sites. Here, we received a comprehensive site briefing, detailing the history and operations of the facility. We were informed about the start date of operations on the site, providing us with a better understanding of the waste management processes in place.

The visit to the Aloes Waste Management Facility was not only informative but also eye-opening. It allowed us to witness firsthand the efforts being made by Enviroserv to ensure responsible waste management practices. Overall, the experience was valuable in enhancing our knowledge and appreciation of environmental conservation efforts in the Eastern Cape. Our sincere thanks to Enviroserv for hosting us and for their commitment to sustainability.

Today we had our monthly ECCEF meeting in Kwa- nobuhle Kariega, where we had intense discussions about the planned development of a green ammonia plant in Coega (NMB) and GREEN HYDROGEN - how it is produced and why it is the 'prefered' choice and included in the JET energy mix as renewable energy (RE)and if it is really RE.
We will be keeping an eye as the developments unfold ensuring all the necessary protocols and bylaws are followed especially public participation meetings.
