It’s Time to Tell a New Story About Coronavirus—Our Lives Depend on It

A new story would allow us to see contagion as more than a purely biomedical phenomenon to be managed by biomedical experts and, instead, as the dynamic social phenomena they are. It would necessitate new alliances among public health advocates and environmentalists, between doctors, epidemiologists, wildlife biologists, anthropologists, economists, geographers, and veterinarians. It would shift the meaning of human health itself. Instead of thinking of good health as the absence of pathogenic contamination, we would understand it as a complex latticework linking the health of our livestock, wildlife, and ecosystems to the health of our communities. ...

The way we talk about contagion matters. It shapes how societies respond—and whether many of us will survive.

The very least we can do for them and their families is to offer them adequate support whilst they are in the field. We call on organisations and individuals to unite behind Africa’s rangers and join us in supporting this critical cause.” Andrew Campbell, Chief Executive Officer – Game Rangers Association of Africa.

Support Africa's rangers today by sponsoring them with Ranger Protect Accidental Death, Disability and Medical Evacuation cover of up to $6,500 (R100 000) for just $30 (R431)

City of Cape Town

Good news - green jobs is the only 'growth' that is sustainable and does not cost your children's future.

STATEMENT BY THE CITY’S MAYORAL COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND ASSET MANAGEMENT, ALDERMAN JAMES VOS

Atlantis Green Technology Hub gets the go ahead.

Council unanimously approved the transfer of land in Atlantis to the Atlantis Special Economic Zone (Ltd) on Thursday, 30 July 2020. This milestone decision will lay the foundation for attracting and securing more investment and unlock future employment opportunities in the Atlantis area over the coming years.

As a City, we are mindful of the economic challenges we currently face as a metro, province and nation. It is therefore very reassuring that on a matter of such economic importance, all parties saw fit to support the land transfer to initiate the Atlantis Special Economic Zone operations (ASEZ). The general industrial zoned land is valued at R56,5 million and will form part of the Atlantis Green Technology Hub.

This green technology growth and investment opportunity could not have come at a better time. Together with the City’s Enterprise and Investment Department, it is our priority to do everything to show that Cape Town is open for business and ensure that we have the resources to guide potential investors.

With this approval, it is projected that by 2034, 15 years after the beginning of construction, this SEZ will contribute an estimated R15 billion to the provincial economy, with thousands of new jobs. This is a declaration to the people of Atlantis and surrounding areas that government is serious about economic and social development as well as job creation in the area, with some R680 million already invested in the SEZ before it was officially launched.

However, for me, this is not just about the smart use of City real estate. This is also about Atlantis residents benefitting from this SEZ, through the community representatives on the ASEZ entity board, who will guide the skills development and small business development initiatives built into the programme. This builds on the momentum the City has gradually achieved since 2012, when Atlantis was declared a green technology hub with a fast disposal system adopted to facilitate green manufacturing.
