SAILING THE SEAS THIS MARINE PILOT assists sea vessels to dock safely in the harbour S he grew up in the small Eastern Cape town of Aliwal North, never dreamt she‟d ever live near the sea. But today Lulama Tsholoba (26) not only knows some of South Africa‟s beautiful seaside towns and cities, she has also carved a career for herself at sea. A marine pilot who lives in Saldanha Bay on the West Coast, Lulama‟s main job is to help sea vessels to dock-and later leave the Saldanha harbour safely. “I‟m the link between the control room and the captain who is steering his vessel into the harbour.” Lama, as she‟s known, says it‟s a demanding job. “There‟s no space for error. You have to be on top of your game every day”. But she thrives on the challenge. Her interest in a maritime career was stimulated when she spotted two guys walking around Cape Town in immaculate white uniforms. “They looked good” she says, and “I wondered what kind of work they did. Later on I discovered they were naval officers.” Soon thereafter she attended a career expo at the then Cape Technikon and saw a poster advertising maritime studies. On the poster were people dressed in the immaculate white uniforms she‟d recently admired. Then and there she decided to pursue a maritime career. “I wanted to do something different,” Lama explains. Even though she‟d heard that the maritime industry was male dominated, she wasn‟t put off. “I love a good challenge”, she laughs. Now employed by the Transnet National Port Authority – the only company in SA that employs marine pilots - Lama is perfectly suited for the job. She works 12-hour shifts, one day on and one day off, and is on duty two weekends a month. “No two days are the same,” she says. “My days are determined by the weather. If the sea is calm, it‟s easy to dock a vessel but when the wind starts to blow or it‟s raining, things can get very tricky”. But come rain, wind or shine, Lama gives of her best and rises to the challenge. Adapted from: Drum Magazine Aug 2011

German airline to buy EC biofuel erman airline Lufthansa has agreed to buy jet fuel from an G Eastern Cape company which is marketing bio fuels as an answer to curtail the carbon footprints of multi-national cooperations. Entrepreneurial couple William and Sylvia Charles, of the Sakhisizwe Trust, have been working on the project over the past four years, capturing Lufthansa as their first customer. Their initiative aims to decrease the world‟s carbon footprint while increasing opportunities for job creation as plans are being made towards the creation of a bio-fuel refinery within the province. “We can now go public because we have all the major building blocks in place – the feedstock, the technology, the plant and, importantly, an off- taker in Lufthansa,” said Sylvia, marketing director of the Sakhisizwe Trust. The main feedstock for the bio jet fuel will be soyabeans grown in the Eastern Cape, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. According to the company‟s media spokeperson, Ed Richardson of Siyathetha communications, Africa is the ideal place for such projects as it has the land and biofuel plantations on hand. “It‟s more than just another dream, biofuel is taking over the world,” said Richardson. “All the building blocks are in place; we just need to put the model in place so that the farmers can start.” The beans contain vegetable oil which is refined into biokerosene, or jet fuel. A shipment of about 8000 tons of crude vegetable oil made from beans grown in the area will soon be shipped to Finland, refined into jet fuel and used in the Lufthansa trial. “There are about two or three other projects like this floating around and none of them have customers, so having Lufthansa as ours is great,” said Richardson. He said the project would create jobs in rural communities while decreasing the carbon footprint. Negotiations are underway with Clean Tech Africa in Berlin, near East London, which will be producing a test batch of the biofuel and will assist in speeding up production. It has already set up a renewable energy hub for the Eastern Cape. There is huge world demand for biofuel products and Lufthansa on its own seeks about 400 million litres a year across the world.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com 12 TOURISM (SEPTEMBER 2012) According to Sylvia Charles, engineers from the technology supplier Cimbria Sket are already working on a plant capable of producing 100 000 tons of soyabean oil a year, followed by a refinery. Full production is scheduled to start in 2014. “We are in negotiations with farmers‟ organizations to speak about producing the beans,” she says. Of concerns that biofuel production will negatively affect food security, Charles says: “All the research shows that soyabean production will not impact on food security, but will in fact enhance it”. In October, a high- powered German delegation will be visiting the Eastern Cape to inspect the facilities, the two industrial development zones, and the farming area where the beans will be produced. The global aviation industry faces challenging targets in reducing emissions from fossil fuels. Adapted from: City Press 4.1.1 Describe THREE aims of this biofuel project. (3) 4.1.2 Mention THREE provinces that will benefit from in this initiative. (3) 4.1.3 Predict how the biofuel project may encourage the practice of responsible and sustainable tourism in terms of Triple Bottom Line approach.
