The proposed structure will be finalised upon the completion of the Amendment of the Bill to ensure that the reviewed structure supports the new mandate of the Department of Military Veterans. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The process of restructuring the Department of Military Veterans has been initiated with the approval of the service delivery model and the development of a proposed structure. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org

and the provision of health care, housing and burial benefits, where appropriate, to dependents and surviving spouses of military veterans. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The amendment will deal among others with the definition of a military veteran, a policy shift towards the non-statutory force members, https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The review of the Military Veterans Act is ongoing and expected to be taken for public comments in early 2022 and it is anticipated that the Amendment Bill will be tabled to Cabinet and Parliament towards mid-2022. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org

Since its establishment in November 2020, the Presidential Task team on Military Veterans has held several consultative engagements with various military veterans associations and a number of inter-governmental stakeholders. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Following this, I appointed a Presidential Task Team on Military Veterans, chaired by Deputy President David Mabuza, to engage with military veterans on their challenges and grievances. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In response, I called for a high level briefing on the plight of military veterans, the support package that military veterans are entitled to as prescribed by the Military Veterans Act of 2011, as well as gaps and shortcomings. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Furthermore, a group of marchers called the Liberation Struggle War Veterans marched to the Union Buildings on the 10th of November 2020 and presented a memorandum of grievances to the Presidency. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Honourable Members, During the course of 2020, the Presidency received several complaints about the perceived failure of the Department of Military Veterans to provide services to military veterans. https://t.co/sERlqHvuTc — PolitiTweet.org

The transition to a low-carbon economy and a climate resilient society holds enormous potential for economic growth, development and job creation in our country. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In addition to expanding capacity through solar, battery storage and gas, the Komati plans include opportunities for local community involvement in the agrivoltaics solution and the assembly of containerised microgrids. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Eskom has commenced its first demonstration project for the just energy transition at Komati power station. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Eskom has already begun to work on a reskilling plan and has entered into agreements with the DTIC, the Manufacturing Circle, Sasol, Anglo, Exxaro and Seriti, to ensure among others, a collective drive to growing industrialisation and local manufacturing. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Funding must be used for targeted programmes of reskilling and upskilling, creating employment and providing other forms of support to ensure workers, women and youth are the major beneficiaries of our shift to a greener future. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A transition to a decarbonised economy must also address the needs of workers in affected industries and communities. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We can maximise the impact of this new investment by ensuring that local inputs are used in construction, and by implementing strategies and incentives to encourage global players to localise their operations. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This process is an opportunity to build our industrial capacity and create new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The electricity sector contributes 41% to South Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions and is the quickest route to decarbonising South Africa with the greatest impact in the short term. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Eskom aims to add 8.5 gigawatts of renewable energy over the next 10 years, and will require international financial support for this investment. This financing will not and cannot be used for financing the legacy debt. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In particular, the funds will be utilised to support Eskom’s plans to repower and repurpose coal plants that are shutting down with renewables, battery storage and gas. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The shut down of coal stations must be accompanied by sufficient investment in new generation capacity as well as investment in the transmission network to promote energy security. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Honourable Members, A significant proportion of funding offered by the international partner group countries is expected to be used for Eskom’s just transition plans. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Integrated Resource Plan is a living document that takes account of changing circumstances and the anticipated needs of the country into the future. https://t.co/UAzksHBgFw — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In terms of both the IRP 2019 and the revised Nationally Determined Contribution, coal will remain part of the energy mix beyond 2030 even as the share of renewable energy sources significantly increases. https://t.co/vNtW5rfdnC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The pace and scale of decommissioning coal-fired power stations will be determined by the need to maintain security of energy supply and the extent to which financial support for a just energy transition enables a higher level of ambition. https://t.co/bYEihaYxf6 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The IRP 2019 provides for the decommissioning of several old coal-fired power plants that have reached, or are nearing, their end-of-life. https://t.co/RNGYChafbQ — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is projected that full implementation of IRP 2019, along with existing energy efficiency and green transport policies, will result in emissions in line with the revised Nationally Determined Contribution that we adopted prior to COP 26. https://t.co/BgSpem5qCj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The reduction of carbon emissions as envisaged in the IRP 2019 is aligned with the emissions trajectory in our updated Nationally Determined Contribution, which sets a target range for a reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 and 2030. https://t.co/BgSpem5qCj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In developing the IRP 2019, the energy planners take into account security of electricity supply, protection of the environment and the need to reduce carbon emissions. https://t.co/BgSpem5qCj — PolitiTweet.org
