A. Ezisematheni
1. Umnotho
1.1. IKhabhinethi yamukele izingenelelo zezwe ezinhle zakamuva ezihlose ukufukula ukukhula komnotho. Ngokwezibalo zakamuva zabantu abangasebenzi ezibuya kwabeZezibalo eNingizimu Afrika, izinga labantu abangasebenzi lehle kusuka kumaphesenti angama-35.3 kwikota yesine yangowezi-2021 laya kumaphesenti angama-34.5 kwikota yokuqala yangowezi-2022. Izinga lokungasebenzi lehlile kumakota amabili elandelana. Imiphumela emihle yalo msebenzi ibonakale kwizinsizakalo zomphakathi nezenhlalo, ekukhiqizeni nasekuhwebeni.
1.2. Umkhiqizo wonyaka wezwe kwikota yokuqala yangowezi-2022 ukhule ngo-1.9% lokho okubeka isilinganiso somnotho wethu kumazinga ayeyiwo ngaphambi kokufika kobhubhane. Kwikota, umkhakha wezokukhiqiza wawungummongo wezomnotho ngenxa yokukhula ekukhiqizeni uwoyela namakhemikhali, ukudla neziphuzo, kanye nezinsimbi nemishini.
1.3. Le mpumelelo emaphakathi ibonisa ukuthi umnotho wethu usalokhu uqinile futhi izingenelelo ezifana noHlelo Lokwakha Kabusha Nokuvuselela Umnotho zithola umfutho. IKhabhinethi icela wonke umuntu ukuthi aseke amabhizinisi alapha ekhaya kanye nezimboni ngokuthi bathenge imikhiqizo kanye nezinsizakalo zalapha ekhaya.
1.4. IKhabhinethi iphinde yamukela isinqumo se-ejensi ehlola isimo sezimali i-S&P Global sokubuyekeza isimo sezikweletu seNingizimu Afrika - kusuka kwesizinzile kuya kwesihle kakhulu. I-ejensi ehlola isimo sezimali iphinde yaqinisekisa ukuthi ukukwazi ukumelana nezikweletu kwesikhathi eside kume ku-BB minus naku-BB ngokulandelana.
2. Izindleko zokuphila
2.1. Ubhubhane lweSifo Segciwane le-Corona (i-COVID-19) kanye nokungqubuzana emazweni omhlaba okuqhubekayo kube nomthelela omkhulu kakhulu ezindlekweni zokuphila emhlabeni jikelele. Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika nabo badiniwe ukukhuphuka kwamanani ophethiloli, ukudla kanye nemikhiqizo ebalulekile.
2.2. Sonke kudingeka ukuthi sibambisane, sisizane futhi sigcine izinsiza zethu kulesi sikhathi esinzima. Uhulumeni wenza konke okusemandleni ukuhlinzeka ngosizo kuwo wonke umuntu, ikakhulukazi labo abadla imbuya ngothi.
2.3. IBhangengodla lethu laseNingizimu Afrika elisebenza kahle, eliqinile futhi elizimele lisiza ukuba yihawu lomphakathi ukuthi ungacekelwa phansi ukwehla kwamandla emali ngokuthi iyigcine isesilinganisweni esibekiwe; okungaphansi kwalokho okubhekane namanye amazwe amaningi njengamanje.
2.4. IKhabhinethi yamukele isinqumo somnyango weZamafa kuZwelonke ukwelula isikhathi sokuncishiswa kweNtela Kaphethiloli i-General Fuel Levy (i-GFL). I-GFL yehliswa nge-R1.50 ilitha elilodwa ngoMbasa nangoNhlaba, futhi lizoqhubeka kusuka mhla lu-1 kuNhlangulana kuze kube umhla wesi-6 kuNtulikazi 2022.
2.5. IKhabhinethi iphinde yamukela isinqumo seKhomishini Yokuncintisana sokuqapha ngeso lokhozi amanani okudla okusemqoka, ikakhulukazi ukuthi amabhizinisi kumele abe nezizathu ezibonakalayo zokukhuphula amanani.
3. UMhlangano Wezamabhizinisi phakathi kweJalimani neNingizimu Afrika
3.1. IKhabhinethi yamukele imiphumela yoMhlangano Wezamabhizinisi phakathi kweJalimani neNingizimu Afrika, ebivumelana nohlelo lomsebenzi obandakanya ukusebenzisana kwezimboni ezingangcolisi imvelo, ubuchwepheshe bezimoto ezihamba ngogesi kanye nehayidrojini engangcolisi imvelo.
3.2. Umhlangano uphinde wavumelana 'ngombukiso' ozokwenziwa ngobuchwepheshe be-inthanethi wokuqhakambisa amathuba eNingizimu Afrika kumabhizinisi amaningi aseJalimani, ukuthuthukiswa kwamakhono embonini eyakha izimoto yalapha ekhaya, izindlela zokusebenza ezehlukene kumathuba okukhiqiza kanye nokwabelana ngamakhono obuchwepheshe.
3.3. IJalimani ingomunye wabalingani bethu ababaluleke kakhulu kwezohwebo kanye nomtshalizimali ohamba phambili emikhakheni eminingi yaseNingizimu Afrika, kusuka emkhakheni wezimoto kuya emishinini yezimayini ephambili, kusuka kwezolimo kuya emkhakheni wezezimali.
3.4. IKhabhinethi iphinde yamukela ukusungulwa kweNkundla Yabantu Abamnyama Yokuthunyelwa Kwempahla Kwamanye Amazwe i-Black Exporters Network nguMnyango Wezohwebo, Izimboni Nokuncintisana (i-DTIC), ukwakha ubumbano kumafemu abantu abamnyama njengamanje athumela izimpahla ezenziwe kuleli kwamanye amazwe omhlaba. Le nkundla izovumela ukwabelana ngolwazi, isipiliyoni nendlela yokusebenza, futhi yakhela phezu kwempumelelo yoHlelo Losozimboni Abamnyama.
4. Ezamandla
4.1. Ukutholakala kwezamandla kwesikhathi eside kukhuthazwe kakhulu kulandela ukuthengiswa kwe-Unit 4 eSiteshini Sikagesi saseKusile eMpumalanga. Lokhu kudluliswa kube ngenye yengqophamlando emizamweni ka-Eskom ukuletha uzinzo ohlelweni logesi futhi luzokwengeza ama-800 megawatt (ama-MW) kwisizinda sikagesi.
4.2. IKhabhinethi ikuphawulile ukuthi ukwakhiwa kwezingxenye zeziphehlimandla ezine kweziyisithupha sekuphothuliwe kumklamo weSiteshi Sikagesi eKusile.
4.3. IKhabhinethi yamukele ukwengezwa komthamo omusha wesiphehlimandla kwisizinda sogesi, lokhu okwaphunyeleliswa isinqumo sokuvumela abakhiqizi bogesi abazimele ukuthi bakhiqize ugesi. Uhulumeni usanda kusayina isivumelwano sokuthenga ama-150 MW omthamo wogesi kumkhiqizi wogesi ovuselelekayo, okuyi-Scatec ASA.
5. UMkhandlu Oluleka Ngokuthuthukiswa Komnotho Wabantu Abamnyama (i-B-BBEE)

11. Isifo se-Monkeypox
11.1. IKhabhinethi iqinisekise abantu baseNingizimu Afrika ukuthi iziphathimandla zethu zezempilo zimehlo mane ukuqapha ngeso lokhozi nokugwema isifo se-Monkeypox, kulandela ukuqubuka kwaso emazweni amaningi angajwayele ukuhlaselwa izifo. Yize kungakatholakali noma kungakabikwa muntu onalesi sifo eNingizimu Afrika, iziphathimandla zezempilo kuleli lizwe ziyaqhubeka nokubeka iso isimo.
B. Isinqumo seKhabhinethi
1. Ukukhulumisana nomphakathi ngezinyathelo zokubhekana nokuthengiswa okungekho emthethweni kwezinsalela zensimbi.
1.1. IKhabhinethi ikuvumile ukuthi ukukhulumisana nomphakathi kuqale mayelana nezethulo zokunqanda ukuthengiswa okungekho emthethweni kwezinsalela zensimbi nensimbi uqobo. Ukwebiwa kwezinsalela zensimbi nezintambo zekhopha kwizingqalasizinda zomphakathi kuthunaza ukusebenza komnotho ngokwengeza izindleko ezinkulu.
1.2. Okunye kwalokhu kuphazamiseka kubandakanya ukuthunyelwa kogesi kanye nezinsizakalo zezitimela ngenxa yokucekelwa phansi kojantshi. Kwengeza ezindlekweni zokuthutha kubagibeli ngenxa yokucekelwa phansi kwezokuthutha umphakathi. Izintambo zogesi ezicekelwe phansi futhi ezingaphephile ziletha ubungozi emiphakathini, ikakhulukazi ezinganeni.
1.3. IKhabhinethi ikhiphe umyalelo othi i-DTIC kumele ihole phambili lezi zinkulumo esikhathini esibekiwe, futhi ithole imibono kubantu basemphakathini nakwimikhakha efanele uhulumeni angayisebenzisa ukuqeda ukucekelwa phansi kwezingqalasizinda ezibalulekile zomnotho. Emva kwalokho, iKhabhinethi izobe seyimemezela izinyathelo ezigunyaziwe.
C. Imicimbi ezayo
1. Ingqungquthela Yomhlaba yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezibumbene (i-UN) Yokubambisana ngoBuchwepheshe Ekugcineni Ukuthula (i-PTPS)
1.1. INingizimu Afrika izosingatha i-PTPS yesithupha kuMkhandlu Wezesayensi Nocwaningo Lwezimboni ePitoli kusuka ngoLwesibili, mhla wama-21 kuya kuLwesihlanu, mhla wama-24 kuNhlangulana 2022. Kulindeleke ukuthi le ngqungquthela ihanjelwe izithunywa ezingama-300 ezivela emazweni angamalungu angama-50.
1.2. Ingqungquthela le ihlanganisa bonke abezempi, amaphoyisa, kanye nezakhamuzi ezivela eMazweni Angamalunga e-UN ukuthi babe yimbumba ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe besimanjemanje, obuthuthukile kanye neminye imiqondo kulolu hambo oluholwa i-UN. Ingqungquthela izosetshenziswa njengenkundla yokwabelana ngolwazi nokuhlanganisa imiqondo yamazwe angamalungu e-UN ayingxenye yemizamo yokugcina ukuthula ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe besimanje ekugcineni ukuthula.
2. IMiqhudelwano Kazwelonke Yesine Yeminyaka Emibili Yamakhono Omhlaba eNingizimu Afrika (i-WSZA)
