	<title>#BizTrends2026 | Sedna's Anton Fester: The digital evolution of safety across Africa’s critical industries</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/the-digital-evolution-of-safety-across-africas-critical-industries-849093a</link>
	<description>Not long ago, industrial work across Africa was defined by risk. In sectors like mining, ports, logistics and heavy manufacturing, dangerous conditions were seen as part of the job. Fatal accidents, equipment failures and human exposure to hazardous environments were often treated as operational realities rather than preventable outcomes. Today, that mindset is undergoing a fundamental shift — and at the heart of this change is the digital evolution of safety.</description>

	<title>Standing strong together: Why protecting your workers matters more than ever</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/standing-strong-together-why-protecting-your-workers-matters-more-than-ever-627601a</link>
	<description>When we talk about financial wellness in South Africa, the conversation often drifts toward familiar territory: budgeting, debt, savings, maybe even retirement planning if things are going well. But those ideas usually centre on people who work behind desks, with access to HR teams, online portals, and structured benefits. The reality looks very different for the millions of frontline workers who keep the country running long before most office workers start their day.</description>

	<title>EU carbon price on imports ‘violates’ WTO rules, says Patel as SA heads for clash with bloc</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/eu-carbon-price-on-imports-violates-wto-rules-says-patel-as-sa-heads-for-clash-with-bloc-562050a</link>
	<description>The EU insists that its plan to put a price on the carbon emissions of some imports from 2026 is intended purely to counter global warming. But South Africa contends that, in reality, the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is a unilateral and protectionist trade measure that will cost the South African economy more than R2bn a year.</description>
