Price controls on scrap metal favour smaller steel mills – which can’t produce the steel used in critical components for cars, power lines and buildings.
‘This is not a steel industry problem; this is a South African problem. The domino effect we expect will cost jobs into the hundreds of thousands and destroy trust in our steel market’ – Neels van Niekerk, CEO, International Steel Fabricators of South Africa.
OBC Better Butchery has lodged a complaint with the Competition Commission, accusing Spar of vigorously enforcing exclusivity clauses against the landlord, thus preventing OBC from setting up shop in certain shopping centres.
Abeco Tanks contribute to Malawi water relief efforts
ABECO TANKS: Towards water storage in Africa
Malawi like other African countries suffers from extreme weather conditions. Frequent drought and floods affect their water supply and the result is that agriculture, business, and communities suffer water scarcity.
Abeco Tanks came to their rescue in the ’80s with their innovative water storage tanks. The water tanks come in all shapes and sizes bearing the Abeco company logo. Circular, rectangular, ground level, elevated, and custom-made water tanks can be seen across Malawi and are a beacon of hope to all Malawians.
Each tank is made up of individual carbon-steel panels cut from steel that is cold-pressed using high yield stress tests drawing quality steel. Each panel is individually pressed and punched to maintain accurate dimensions and hot-dipped galvanised to ensure protection against corrosion.
