Goodbye Eskom — R1 billion deal to bring fastest off-grid car chargers to South Africa

Two electric vehicles standing next to a charger unit. Part of a building wall can be seen with a sign saying "charge" on it.
Zero Carbon Charge has signed a R1-billion memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Shanghai Magic Power and Greencore Energy Solutions to build integrated supercharging systems for the 120 charging stations it is currently rolling out in South Africa.

The company’s first electric charging station, on the N12 between Klerksdorp and Wolmaranstad, is set to be completed by June 2024.

The map shows a pretty good spread of these chargers across the country. Not only is this good for the Eskom situation (allowing faster adoption of EVs in South Africa) but it is also very important for any disasters when not only EVs must be recharged, but also other critical infrastructure.

Right now, in South Africa there was a freak storm across the Karoo a few days ago, and all grid power for those areas is off for nearly two weeks. Masses of diesel is being used to run generators, and the diesel has to be brought in over long distances. I can see these types of charging stations also providing a vital role for this scenario in future.

This is just unbelievable. Nothing screams CORRUPTION than this woman getting a promotion after her outrageous denial of every points of South Africa's genocide accusation case against Israel, including the one demanding free and safe passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza

I'm really upset, but not surprised. The iron grip of pro Israeli politicians and states is nothing new, but ever since October 7, it has become openly obvious that the apartheid regime of Israel is untouchable and very few politicians in the world dare to openly challenge them, even after they openly and proudly documented their war crimes and genocidal plans.

The Genocide Double Standard

The fighting in and around Gaza is an asymmetric conflict, but there are two sides. Against the accusation of genocide, Israel says it is acting in self-defense, and this latest round of fighting began when Hamas slaughtered some 1,200 men, women, and children—even infants in their cribs—on October 7. Moreover, unlike Israel, which denies any genocidal intent, Hamas has publicly espoused genocide against Israelis for decades.

The asymmetry of the conflict has legal bearing, exposing a grave loophole in the international legal system. Hamas cannot be called before the International Court of Justice, nor can any government of Gaza, nor even Palestine, which is not a fully sovereign state and has only observer status at the United Nations.

The Genocide Double Standard

To have legitimacy, international justice must be applied fairly and evenly.

Beware selling your unused ‘free’ Rain 5G router in South Africa

Two white Huawei routers
Many of these ‘free’ routers are often ‘free to use’ not ‘free to keep’. I found this out when I cancelled my fixed LTE contract with Telkom. Luckily I’d given away my router to a friend, but I had to go fetch it, or else pay the ‘inflated’ cost back to Telkom.

It’s not always the case though with other ISPs, but it is best to check first, and especially so if you cancel a contract before its mandatory period has expired.

This is also why you want to be careful of ISPs who want to tie you into a 2-year contract. You pay penalties if you cancel before that period has passed.

Sadly accurate interpretation of ICJ ruling.

It's not much different than I expected from them.

They will act like they did all in their power to prevent Israel (mentioning) genocide. Not to prevent it. Just stop talking about it and recording it.

I guess IDF will step up killing reporters to prevent their crimes being reported.

World Court orders Israel to prevent acts of genocide, fails to order ceasefire

THE HAGUE/GAZA, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The World Court ordered Israel on Friday to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians and do more to help civilians, although it stopped short of ordering a ceasefire as requested by South Africa.
South Africa brought the case to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) earlier this month, asking it to grant emergency measures to halt the fighting, which has killed more than 26,000 Palestinians.
It accused Israel of state-led genocide in its offensive, begun after Hamas militants stormed into Israel killing 1,200 and kidnapping more than 240. Israel sought to have the case thrown out.
In Friday's ruling, the judges said Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent its troops from committing genocide, punish and must take steps to improve the humanitarian situation.

While the ICJ did not order a ceasefire, it said it would not throw out the genocide case, ruling that the Palestinians appeared to be a protected group under the 1948 Genocide Convention. It did not decide the merits of the genocide allegations

ICJ: Israel must ensure that it does not commit genocide

It is necessary that certain measures be taken to protect the Palestinian population, according to the International Court of Justice ICJ on Friday. Israel must, among other things, ensure that the military does not commit genocide or other acts covered by that legislation and that it does everything in its power to alleviate the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The country is ordered to report on the measures taken within one month.

South Africa has reported to the International Court of Justice ICJ in The Hague to investigate whether Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians with the war in Gaza. The court has been deliberating on the matter since January 11 and is announcing its interim decision today – the ICJ's final decision on whether Israel has indeed committed genocide could take years to investigate.

Israel, for its part, had asked the court to dismiss the report, but that request will not be heeded, it was already announced in Friday's introduction. Palestinians must be considered a group covered by the so-called Genocide Convention, the ICJ states, and that at least parts of South Africa's argumentation are reasonable.

  • The facts and circumstances are sufficient to conclude that at least some of the Palestinians' rights to be protected against genocide and related prohibited acts under Article 3 of the Convention on Genocide, says Court President Joan E Donoghue.

South Africa's claim is that Israel's political leadership has the ambition to destroy the Gaza Strip and refers to several statements in its 84-page report. Decisions of the ICJ, the UN's highest court, are binding on all affiliated countries such as Israel, but the court lacks the mandate to enforce decisions.

ICJ: Israel måste säkerställa att man inte begår folkmord

Det är nödvändigt att vissa åtgärder vidtas för att skydda den palestinska befolkningen, enligt Internationella domstolen ICJ på fredagen.
