Welcome to the inaugural Aerospace and Defence Masterplan webinar. The subject of the future of the aerospace and defence industry has seldom been more relevant as defence budget cuts and the precarious situation at Denel have wide-reaching consequences for the sector as a whole. On top of this, the COVID-19 pandemic has strained the industry further.
The need for a strong and healthy defence force is clear, especially as the coronavirus pandemic continues and an insurgency brews next door. As a possible third wave of the virus looms, the South African National Defence Force may once again be called in to assist with the state of national disaster, supporting the National Health Department, enforcing lockdown regulations, providing quarantine facilities, establishing roadblocks and testing and screening people.
Gordhan must answer to Parliament over Denel’s involvement in Yemeni war
Issued by Michele Clarke MP – Shadow Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises

The DA will write to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises to request that Minister Pravin Gordhan appear before Parliament to answer for the role of Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) in the humanitarian civil war in Yemen.
In addition, we want the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NACC) and the Directorate of the Conventional Arms Control (DCAC) to appear alongside Gordhan.
In a recent report by Open Secrets, titled “Profiting from Misery – South Africa’s war crimes in Yemen”, it was revealed that RDM might have profited off the Yemeni humanitarian crisis by the sale of weapons to parties central in the conflict.

The DA says it will write to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises to request that Minister Pravin Gordhan appear before Parliament to answer for the role of Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) in the humanitarian civil war in Yemen, a war that has left at least 12 million children requiring humanitarian aid.
“In addition, we want the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NACC) and the Directorate of the Conventional Arms Control (DCAC) to appear alongside Gordhan,” Michele Clarke, Shadow Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises, said in a statement on Sunday.

Time to Get Serious on the War Danger Speak Out, Mobilize
April 28 , 2021 (EIRNS) Over recent days, there has been an escalation of provocations towards the point of danger of breakout into thermonuclear war. Take just the example of the April 20 posting by U.S. Strategic Command for global deterrence and strike, which, in effect, rationalized that war is likely, in their tweet, “The spectrum of conflict today is neither linear nor predictable. We must account for the possibility of conflict leading to conditions which could very rapidly drive an adversary to consider nuclear use as their least bad option,” which was accompanied by Stratcom Commander Adm. Charles Richard declaring to Congress that adversaries China and Russia were arming up, so the U.S. must just get ready and figure on war.
