By <span><a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/alison-gillwald-458374">Alison Gillwald</a>, <em><a href="http://theconversation.com/institutions/university-of-cape-town-691">University of Cape Town</a></em></span>

<p>In the three short years that the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/">World Economic Forum (WEF</a>) has been punting the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as the route to prosperity for digitally savvy nations, it has become global policy conventional wisdom. </p>

<p>South Africa has <a href="https://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2019-05-25-in-full-president-cyril-ramaphosas-inauguration-speech/">not been immune </a>to the hype. The government has shifted its focus and resources to the 4IR. And it’s been prioritised over more mundane, but essential, policy interventions aimed at ensuring the more equitable inclusion of the populace into a modern, digital economy. </p>

<p>This diversion of resources is not by government only. International donor agendas and funding have pivoted to the 4IR. This has mostly been to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the process, critical research on creating the necessary conditions in developing countries for inclusive digital economies and societies, and implementation projects, have been left stranded. These would include ensuring broadband extension, affordable access, education and digital skills.</p>

<p>Without public investment in independent, local multidisciplinary digital policy research there has been no base to prepare policy makers for 4IR. Public interest research in this area has long been dependent on the vagaries of donor funding. It is therefore not surprising that South Africa relies on the blueprints of international lobbies, global industry associations and private foundations representing the interests of what have become global monopolies.</p>

<p>Government’s response to the lack of policy research on 4IR has been the <a href="https://www.csir.co.za/south-africa-and-world-economic-forum-announce-intention-establish-4ir-affiliate-centre">establishment</a> of the WEF Centre for the 4IR based at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). </p>

<p>Various government departments have developed policies in their sectoral silos. But there is no overarching digital policy to achieve the co-ordination required across the state and between the public and private sectors. </p>

<p>A <a href="https://www.dtps.gov.za/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=811:president-cyril-ramaphosa-appoints-commission-on-fourth-industrial-revolution&amp;catid=13&amp;Itemid=138">commission appointed</a> by President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this year is meant to provide some of this overview. Can it, with the industry-dominated working groups, provide a public interest outcome? And why are the industry-led working groups replicating the protracted six-year integrated White Paper process that has yet to be implemented? </p>

<h2>Wrong assumption</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://theconversation.com/south-africa-is-caught-in-the-global-hype-of-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-121189">adoption by South Africa</a> of 4IR models and policy designed by WEF partner consultants is based on a number of assumptions that don’t apply to developing countries. These include mature, competitive markets and functioning democracies, capable institutions and educated and healthy populations. As a result, the proposed policies are unlikely to contribute to economic growth, job creation and the empowerment of women envisaged by President Ramaphosa in his <a href="https://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2019-05-25-in-full-president-cyril-ramaphosas-inauguration-speech/">inaugural address</a>.</p>

<p>Unlike most other African countries, South Africa has already developed some cutting-edge public and private sector 4IR technologies. The CSIR, for example, owns the largest 3D <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=3&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwidtY7zkMbjAhV1XRUIHf_3C6sQFjACegQIDBAI&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.co.za%2Fsouth-africas-largest-3d-printer-is-so-big-that-it-takes-up-to-r75-million-in-titanium-powder-to-fill-it-2018-7&amp;usg=AOvVaw0PC-BT-RfE83aFHkfVIjKd">printer</a>.</p>

<p>But public investments have done little to deal with the country’s extreme digital inequality. The productive use of these enabling new technologies is only being enjoyed by a relatively small elite. Half of the country’s population doesn’t have even basic access. And for those barely online due to affordability or skills challenges, digital use is <a href="https://researchictafrica.net/after-access-south-africa-state-of-ict-2017-south-africa-report_04/">entirely consumptive</a>.</p>

<h2>Uneven disruptions</h2>

<p>There is little doubt that the inevitable rise of the advanced technologies of artificial intelligence, blockchain and drones will disrupt economies and societies. But when this happens, the degree to which it will happen will be highly uneven. Like other industrial revolutions, this one will be characterised by evolution as much as by disruption. Unless something dramatically different is done, one of the continuities will be the perpetuation of inequality. And the primary determinant of inclusion is education and digital skilling.</p>

<p>The layering of advanced technologies over existing inequalities won’t contribute to digital inclusion. It will simply worsen inequality within and between nations. How quickly South Africa is able to redress existing inequalities will determine the degree to which it is able to harness the potential benefits of advanced technologies for equitable development. </p>

<p>This is not to suggest that South Africa should eschew all international good practice. The country’s shortage of resources, particularly skills and expertise, requires it to use private investments for the delivery of public goods such as the Internet. But this doesn’t mean abdicating digital policy to the private sector, international or domestic. </p>

<p>And 4IR is distracting government from the unfinished business of previous policy and institutional failures, as well as regulatory bottlenecks. While government continues to deal with digital policy in sectoral silos it will not be able to deal with the cross-cutting nature of “digitisation” and “datafication” of the economy and society.</p>

<h2>What’s needed</h2>

<p>To fulfil its social contract with the citizenry, South Africa requires a capable state. The state must create the enabling conditions for the public and private sector to harness the opportunities arising from technological developments. </p>

<p>But to do so it must complete the multitude of policies and regulations that have not been implemented, or are not been implemented according to policy intent. Examples include the five-years-overdue connectivity for all public buildings and installation of public wi-fi at them. Another is a decade-long failure to release high-demand spectrum. And there’s the incomplete market concentration review as well as the two-decade failure to complete the digital migration. </p>

<p>It is true that the country can’t wait around while this being done. Integration into the global economy is happening at a faster and faster pace. But it’s not automatically beneficial. What’s needed is data and analysis to inform policy through genuinely consultative multistakeholder processes that represent the diverse interests and expertise within the country. Otherwise South Africa won’t be included on its own terms or on those of its partners.</p>

<p>South Africa needs to institutionalise digital data gathering together with the national statistical system which underpins multidisciplinary policy research in its universities and policy formulation. Only then will it be able to develop organic, alternative policy and regulatory strategies to those that have failed in developing country contexts. </p>

<p>To this end public investment in universities is needed. This will enable knowledge and skills to be developed to undertake research and implement policy. </p>

<p>This will necessitate a shift from the sectoral silos in which digital policy has traditionally been formulated. In its place a national policy enabling the necessary integration is required across the public sector. In addition, there needs to be coordination between the public and private sectors.</p>

<p>Governments have no control over the biggest players operating in their jurisdictions. These near-monopoly global platforms are largely unaccountable to anyone. Platforms that are offering millions of people social value services are also – wittingly or not – exposing them to mass surveillance, public and private. This is popularly referred to as <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=13&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjAk93rj7DkAhVR_KQKHWZjD0sQFjAMegQIABAB&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Ftechnology%2F2019%2Fjan%2F20%2Fshoshana-zuboff-age-of-surveillance-capitalism-google-facebook&amp;usg=AOvVaw3t-BRvhH70kImuASnSrF6i">“surveillance” capitalism</a>.</p>

<p>So at the same time as creating affordable access to the internet, South Africa must find ways of effectively mitigating risks and preventing potential harm. Two events have brought this into sharp relief. The first was the attack on national databases. The second was the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;soure=web&amp;cd=14&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiAzNzyoKjjAhVESBUIHTOrD10QFjANegQIBBAB&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fstory%2Fcambridge-analytica-facebook-privacy-awakening%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw3QIR7DyGAADiTAv3-8Ed11">Cambridge Analytica</a> debacle. This involved the personal details of approximately 60 million South African Facebook users being exposed.</p>

<p>South Africa does not have the luxury of dealing with these problems  sequentially. Adaptive regulation is needed to ensure the country reaps the benefits of digitalisaition and datafication that will integrate it more into the global economy. And limiting harms will require complex, adaptive regulation. </p>

<p>This will be a challenge for the country’s historically weak sectoral policy and regulatory institutions. It will also require cross-sectoral coordination between communications, international affairs, trade, defence, science and technology.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://counter.theconversation.com/content/121191/count.gif?distributor=republish-lightbox-basic" alt="The Conversation" width="1" height="1" style="border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important; text-shadow: none !important" /></p>

<p>MAPUTO (Reuters) &#8211; U.S. energy giant Exxon Mobil will finalise its investment in Mozambique&#8217;s lucrative liquefied natural gas fields in a signing ceremony on Tuesday, the African country&#8217;s government said via state television.  </p>



<p>Exxon&#8217;s Rovuma LNG project, jointly operated with Italian firm Eni, will produce, liquefy and sell natural gas from three reservoirs located in the Area 4 block offshore Mozambique&#8217;s northern coast. </p>



<p>Exxon estimates the fields, which are due to come on line in 2024, will cost $30 billion to develop. </p>



<p>State television news channel TVM on Sunday said the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy would host a signing ceremony with Exxon and other firms in the capital Maputo on Tuesday. </p>



<p>Exxon has said it expects 17,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) per year during the production phase, with the signing of an initial investment decision paving the way for the massive infrastructure project to begin. </p>



<p>The gas fields are located off the coast of the northern Cabo Delgado province, which for the last two years has seen intensifying attacks on surrounding communities and government buildings by an extreme Islamist militant group.</p>



<p>In February Texas-based petroleum firm Anadarko said one worker was killed and several others injured in two related attacks in the Cabo Delgado area where it is building a 17,000-acre liquefaction complex. </p>

How a young Windhoek lawyer felt compelled to take on the system


<p>JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) &#8211; South Africa&#8217;s mines and energy minister on Thursday said he was in talks with coal firms that supply struggling state-owned  power utility Eskom to reduce coal prices in a bid to lower energy costs and boost the mining sector. </p>



<p>Once the largest contributor to South Africa&#8217;s gross domestic product, mining has shrunk steadily over the last decade weighed down by higher energy costs and electricity cuts, hard-to-reach deposits, above inflation wage hikes and policy uncertainty which is deterring investment.</p>



<p>&#8220;These are discussions about how we reignite our economy and make it grow,&#8221; Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe said at an industry conference in Johannesburg without adding further detail.     </p>



<p>In March, energy regulator Nersa granted Eskom average tariff increases of 9.4%, 8.1% and 5.2% over the next three years.</p>



<p>The mining industry body, the Minerals Council, has said the tariff increase given to Eskom would jeopardise the viability of some marginal mines and accelerate job losses at energy-intensive operations.</p>



<p>Job cuts are politically sensitive in Africa&#8217;s most industrialised economy where a quarter of the labour force is unemployed, while power outages and steep price increases by Eskom are set to hurt an already fragile growth outlook.</p>



<p>Eskom owns and operates more than 13 coal-fired power stations and has supply agreements with firms including Exxaro Resources and South32 </p>



<p>The utility supplies more than 90% of the power in Africa&#8217;s most industrialised economy, but has been grappling with cashflow and high debt problems, breakdowns at its creaking coal-fired power station fleet.</p>



<p>The minister, who highlighted that power cuts and electricity prices remain a concern, said lowering energy costs would involve discussions with various groups in the sector including coal producers, renewable energy firms and the energy regulator. </p>

Impeachment Inquiry: What it means for trade talks


<p>Cape Town is set to host a record-breaking 29 global ministers at the 26<sup>th</sup> Africa Oil Week (AOW) summit this November. The event will act as a platform for governments to lay-out national strategies, issue licences, finalise tenders and find new partners. AOW Director of Government Relations and Strategic Partnerships Paul Sinclair commented “this year is a watershed moment for ministerial participation in AOW. We have witnessed a growing appetite at government level for the mutual exchange of ideas, energy diplomacy and the forging of new partnerships that will drive forward Africa’s social and economic development and energy security – actions which are increasingly necessary given the transformational era in which we are living.”  </p>



<p>The summit comes at a turning-point for
South Africa in its energy journey. In the wake of Total’s first significant
deep-water oil find in the country earlier this year, and the recent purchase of
offshore exploration blocks by Shell, politicians are preparing for further oil
and gas investment, which could be instrumental in improving the country’s
shaky economic outlook.</p>



<p>Gwede Mantashe, Minister of Mineral
Resources and Energy, will lead the South African national delegation. Western
Cape Minister for Finance and Economic Opportunities David Maynier and Premier
Alan Winde will seek to promote their province to global investors in the
event’s new South Africa Showcase day. </p>



<p>Among those attending Africa Oil Week for
the first time is Somali Minister of Energy, Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed. Following
the signing of a new Petroleum Law and Revenue Sharing Agreement in May, and
the unveiling of the country’s first ever offshore licensing round (15 blocks
covering 75,000 sq. km), the Horn of Africa nation is keen shake off past woes and
demonstrate that it is open for business. Mr Ahmed commented, “this year is a
landmark in the development of Somalia’s natural resources…the Ministry has
worked successfully with the federal member states to create an equitable and
transparent framework to develop natural resources for the greater good of
Somalia”.&nbsp; </p>



<p>As well as emerging players, the summit
will host established producers, including Algeria’s Energy Minister Mohamed
Arkab. After a period of upheaval for the North African nation, Algeria is now
ready to cement itself as a global energy powerhouse. It currently has the
10th-largest proven gas reserves in the world – which will prove instrumental
in the global push towards LNG as a cleaner fuel. Since his appointment, Mr
Arkab has prioritised the drafting of a new petroleum law, as well as
committing to modernise the country’s oil and gas infrastructure. Communicating
these changes will be Mr Arkab’s top priority at Africa Oil Week, where he will
participate in a live CNBC Africa Ministerial Panel alongside his counterparts
from Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea and Uganda. </p>



<p>Alongside a roster of African governments, Africa
Oil Week will have global presence from the US and UK governments, with
delegations led by Steven Winberg, US Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy and
Emma Wade-Smith, Her Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Africa. In the wake of
the recent post-Brexit trade continuity agreement with the Southern African
Customs Union (SACU) and Mozambique, the UK’s Department for International
Trade is looking to cement relations with Africa and become a leading trade
partner to the continent. Mr Sinclair added “we are pleased to host our first
international pavilion at AOW and hope to continue a fruitful partnership with
the United Kingdom long into the future”. </p>

Ministers from Africa’s largest oil and gas producers will gather in Cape Town to lay out the continent’s future energy roadmap


<p>PARIS (Reuters) &#8211; French oil major Total has completed the acquisition of Anadarko’s 26.5% stake in Mozambique’s liquefied natural gas project for $3.9 billion, Total said on Monday, in a deal expected to raise much-needed revenue for Mozambique.</p>



<p>“Mozambique LNG is a one of a kind asset that perfectly fits with our strategy and expands our position in liquefied natural gas,” Total chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in a statement.</p>



<p>Anadarko has agreed to be taken over by Occidental Petroleum Corp. Anadarko led a liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique, but was replaced by Total after the French oil major agreed to buy Anadarko’s African assets for $8.8 billion as part of the Occidental takeover.</p>



<p>Total will be the main operator of Mozambique LNG with a stake of 26.5%. ENH Rovuma Área Um, S.A. will own 15%, Mitsui E&amp;P Mozambique Area1 Ltd will hold 20%, ONGC Videsh Ltd, Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited and BPRL Ventures Mozambique B.V. will all each have 10%, while PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 Limited will have 8.5%.</p>



<p>Total said closing operations for Anadarko assets in Algeria, Ghana and South Africa were still ongoing.</p>



<p>It added that nearly 90% of the Mozambique LNG production has already been sold through long-term contracts with key LNG buyers in Asia and in Europe.</p>



<p>The project is expected to come into production by 2024.</p>



<p>The Mozambique government is targeting $880 million in capital gains tax from the takeover of Anadarko Petroleum by Occidental, local newspaper O Pais reported last week.</p>



<p>Mozambique’s economy has been hobbled by a debt scandal in recent years, which prompted donors to cut off funding and deterred investors.</p>

Oil major Total has completed the purchase of Anadarko’s Mozambique LNG asset, what you need to know


<p>By Gary van Staden, Head of Research, NKC African Economics</p>



<p>The third date since July by which Lesotho Prime Minister Tom Thabane was supposed to reopen Parliament came and went this week with no indication that the embattled leader of the All Basotho Convention (ABC) is ready to face down a motion of no confidence, let alone implement the agreement brokered by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa some two months ago.</p>



<p>Mr
Thabane prorogued Parliament sine die (without stipulating when it would
reassemble) in June to avoid a no-confidence vote brought by his own party. The
three dates on which the legislature was meant to reopen – August 5, August 16,
and September 25 – have passed into the clouded history of the country with no
indication of when or even if Parliament will be reopened. </p>



<p>The
much-heralded July agreement signed by Mr Thabane, opposition parties, and NGOs
and labelled a major breakthrough has apparently joined several other
‘breakthrough’ agreements on the trash heap of Lesotho’s toxic politics. </p>



<p>The
thrust of the July Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was to give legislative
authority to a so-called National Legislative Reform Authority (NLRA) that
would co-ordinate the national reforms process in the kingdom. The reform
authority will be constituted in terms of an act of Parliament, which will
guide the country in effecting constitutional governance, security, and media
reforms. </p>



<p>Mr
Ramaphosa welcomed the signing as a “historic milestone that firmly set Lesotho
on the road to reform. The Basotho people can celebrate the convergence of
consensus that has led to this historic agreement and has built a strong
foundation for reforms to go ahead.” </p>



<p>But
Mr Thabane had other ideas and at first suggested that Parliament be reopened
only to legislate the NLRA and then immediately prorogue again to avoid the
no-confidence vote; a suggestion even elements of his own party rejected. </p>



<p>He
has since looked for ways to avoid or defeat the no-confidence vote – including
this week’s extraordinary attempt to secure the support of his arch enemy,
Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) leader Mothetjoa Metsing. </p>



<p>With
the support of Mr Metsing and all 11 LCD Members of Parliament (MP), the prime
minister might just survive by a narrow margin of two votes. That is of course
assuming that all the MPs back Mr Thabane, all his coalition partners vote
against the motion, and all of Mr Metsing’s MPs comply. </p>



<p>That
seems a tall order, but Mr Thabane is that desperate. </p>



<p>Some
of Mr Metsing’s demands for his support – that Mr Thabane forms a government of
national unity and that former army commander Tlali Kamoli be released from
prison – are unpalatable to many MPs, so the initiative seems doomed.</p>



<p>Meanwhile,
a growing row between Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) commander Lieutenant General
Mojalefa Letsoela and Defence Minister Tefo Mapesela is straining
civilian-military relations to the increasing concern of civil society. The
army has been at the centre of Lesotho’s instability over the years, with its
critics accusing it of meddling in politics. </p>



<p>The
LDF commander claimed that unnamed political elements were trying to infiltrate
and destabilise the forces, but local media reported it was common knowledge
that the defence minister was the target. </p>



<p>Lt
Gen. Letsoela vowed never to allow “outsiders” to interfere with the army,
while Mr Mapesela has accused Lt Gen. Letsoela of “revolting against civilian
authority and taking major decisions without consultation.” Strained relations
between the military and civilian authority is probably the very last thing
Lesotho needs right now.</p>



<p>It
is clear that Mr Thabane regards his treaty and other agreement obligations as
secondary by some measure to his own political survival. While the
‘breakthrough’ agreements that could assist Lesotho find some measure of
stability sit on ice, the prime minister continues to break agreements to
reopen Parliament and spends most of his time looking for unlikely alliances to
save his political skin. </p>



<p>We
remain convinced that agreements that depend on Mr Thabane’s integrity and
compliance, including the July MoU, are doomed to fail. Unless Mr Ramaphosa, as
the Southern Africa Development Community facilitator in Lesotho, ends the
obsession with keeping Mr Thabane in power, nothing is going to change. </p>



<p>Agreements
that suit Mr Thabane and South Africa will not help Lesotho.</p>
