U.S.–South Africa Minerals Talks: Washington and Pretoria held their highest-level 2026 meeting in Johannesburg on potential critical-mineral deals, with talks described as “very early stage” but aimed at securing supplies for defense, electronics and energy as China’s rare-earth restrictions keep pressure on the supply chain. South Africa Power Pain: A new solar provider report argues the electricity crisis has shifted from shortages to affordability—driven by broken pricing, rising fixed charges and municipal tariff chaos.
