JUST SA Northern Cape — Jessica Makgetla and Kabelo Moremi

In this episode, we travel to Kimberley for a two-day JUST SA capacity-building workshop with provincial and local government officials. Host Nothembi Mahlangu speaks to Jessica Makgetla from the Northern Cape Economic Development, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (NEDA) and Kabelo Moremi from the Office of the Premier. Together, they unpack why it is crucial for provincial and local government to understand climate impacts, decarbonisation imperatives, and the just transition. They reflect on the training experience, discuss investment opportunities in renewable energy, highlight policy and planning challenges, and explore how the Northern Cape can position itself as a leader in South Africa’s green economy.
