What is the advantage of using this treatment?

It also has the great advantage that with regular use the toilet can be used for a very longtime without it having to be pumped-out or having to dig a new one.

When the smells go away then the flies and cockroaches will also disappear. The risk of opportunisticinfections decreases and the effect of Bio-Activator on human waste can result in a reduction of thepathogens (harmful bacteria) which also results in a reduced impact on the drinking water.

HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM

First Treatment:

1 x 100g or 4 x 25g treatment must be used. First add at least 100 litres of water (tap, river, boreholeor even bath water) to the pit before it is treated. The more water the better.

Activate the treatment in 20 litres of clean water (see activating instructions below) and pour it overthe exposed waste in the pit.

If there is still a smell after 24 hours then it could be the chemicals or the rubbish in the pit which ispreventing the treatment from working. Pour another 100 litres of water into the pit and monitor thesmell for another 24 hours.

If the smell is still there then the pit must be treated with a 25g treatment to fix the problem. Witheach treatment it is important to add 100 litres of water or more to the pit before adding the activatedtreatment and add water again 24 hours later if the smell is still there.

When the smell has gone then you know that the treatment is now working.

In the case of septic tanks it is not necessary to add any additional water and the activated treatmentcan simply be flushed down the toilet.

Kingdoms of southernAfrica: Mapungubwe

Where is Mapungubwe?The city of Mapungubwe lies nearwhere the Shase River flows into theLimpopo River, on a farm called Greef-swald, in the Central Limpopo River Val-ley. The area around the city isSavannah bushveld. Malaria and sleep-ing sickness, caused by mosquitoesand tsetse flies, made it very difficult forthe inhabitants of Mapungubwe to farmcattle. Mapungubwe was declared aWorld Heritage Site in recognition of itsvalue as an archaeological site that pro-vides insight into humanity’s past. Whatdoes Mapungubwe mean? Mapun-gubwe means “Hill of the Jackals andhas been named MK by archaeologistsstudying the region.

Economy - Green Economy

Green economy in the contextof Africa”, Decision adopted atthe 4th Special Session of theAfrican Ministerial Conferenceon the Environment, 15-16 Sep-tember 2011, Bamako, Mali.

A green economy can be definedas one that results in improvedhuman well-being and social eq-uity, while significantly reducingenvironmental risks and ecologicalscarcities (UNEP 2011). In a greeneconomy, growth in income andemployment is driven by publicand private investments that

reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodi-versity and ecosystem services. These investments need to be catalyzed and supported by targeted public ex-penditure, policy reforms and regulation changes. This development path should maintain, enhance and,where necessary, rebuild natural capital as a critical economic asset and source of public benefits, especiallyfor poor people whose livelihoods and security depend strongly on nature. What does this mean in the contextof Africa? African countries are highly dependent on natural resources. Natural capital assets are thus criticalto the economic activities and the livelihood of millions of people who depend on fertile soil, forest, fishery andother resources from nature. The exploitation of these resources has fostered rates of economic growth, whichin recent years have been among the strongest in the world. Notwithstanding such economic performance,African countries continue to face persistent poverty and unem-ployment and underemployment, particularly among the conti-

Washington – US companieshave promised $1bn for off-gridpower projects in Africa, puttinga growing focus on small-scaleand renewable energy in thepush to ease the continent’schronic electricity shortages.

President Barack Obama’s ad-ministration announced commit-ments by 27 investors as itmoves forward on a goal of dou-bling electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa, where a lack ofpower has been a key impedi-ment to improving education andpublic health.

“With close to 600 million peoplewithout access to modern-dayelectricity, it is clear that central-ized grid access is not a com-prehensive solution for thesecountries in one of the world’sleast urban continents,” energysecretary Ernest Moniz saidTuesday on a visit to Ethiopia,according to a statement.

“But through solutions includingoff-grid and small scale energyprojects, we can bring electricityto these rural areas,” he said.

The commitments, which willtotal more than $1bn over fiveyears, will include investments insolar and small-scale hydropower stations, training ofAfrican specialists and crowd-sourcing of funds to supportlocal power providers.

John Podesta, a counselor toObama, said that falling costs ofrenewable energy as well as ad-vances in power storage andother technologies had madeoff-grid options increasingly at-tractive.

“While the market is still young,it holds great promise to followthe mobile phone in leapfrogging

centralized infrastructure acrossAfrica,” Podesta wrote on aWhite House blog.

Obama, on a trip to Africa a yearago, announced that the UnitedStates would mobilize $7bn inmostly private funds over fiveyears to bring electricity to atleast 20 million more homes andbusinesses. It is the latest majorUS initiative for sub-SaharanAfrica after former presidentGeorge W. Bush championedaction against AIDS and otherdiseases.

The electricity effort enjoysbroad US support, with the Re-publican-led House of Repre-sentatives approving legislationlast month with an even moreambitious goal of bringing elec-tricity to 50 million Africans.

But corporations have pushedfor US-backed financial institu-tions to ease restrictions againstfunding of carbon-intense proj-ects that contribute to climatechange, saying it is unrealistic toramp up generation in Africawithout significant investments ingas and power grids.

Environmentalists have coun-tered that the initiative offers achance to try a new approachamid predictions that Africa’spoorest will be hit hard by cli-mate change.

Justin Guay of the Sierra Clubenvironmental group hailed theadministration announcement asa “big shift,” as off-grid energywas initially a small part ofObama’s Power Africa initiative.But he said the investment wasjust a first step and called for fur-ther funding of off-grid projects.

Generating Electricity withSolar Power Plants

Solar power plants represent an-other way to generate electricityfrom solar energy. They functionin a similar fashion to regularpower plants except they useconcentrated sunlight—insteadof fossil fuels--to generate heatto boil water to drive steam tur-bines.

MIRRORS: The solar field con-sists of specially designed solarcollectors that use mirrors togather and focus sunlight. Thecurved surface of the mirror con-centrates the light towards afocal point. At that point, the con-centrated light creates heat, orthermal energy.

HEAT: Pipes passing throughthe focal point carry fluid. Theheat drives up the temperatureof the fluid. The pipes circulatethe hot fluid to a steam genera-tor where the heat of the fluid istransferred to water. The waterbecomes steam.

STEAM TURBINE: The force ofthe steam drives the rotation ofthe turbine. The rotating turbinetransfers energy to the genera-tor. That energy is translated intoelectricity in the generator andsent to the electrical grid for useby the public.

Sport arts and culture as doable solution towards dealing with poverty unem-ployment and inequality especially amongst the youth.

With unemployment on the rise and permanent employment opportunities rear to find youngpeople should be encouraged and supported by parents, teachers , community , public sectorand private sector to participate in sports arts and culture. The are many young people withtalents to earn them millions but end up with no success and giving up due to lack of support.

If young people are not supported they become vulnerable and some end up seeing crime as theonly alternative means of survival. Some become frustrated and become very angry and abu-sive individuals. Others end up with low self-esteem and with poverty viewed as a birth rightattached to one’s life from generations to generations. Some resort to alcohol and drug abuseas mental block to their realities and state of poverty. Many of them without business mindsresort to tenderism and politics as short cut to easy path from rags to riches these results inpoor or bad political leadership and services delivered.
