Ghana solar success shared in pan-African economic initiative
A visit to a solar energy project on a Ghanaian island on Tuesday, June 17, marked the end of the first module of economic inclusivity in an initiative organised by the governments of three African states. According to the Office of the Premier's spokesperson, George Mthethwa, 45 participants representing government leaders, public servants and academics from South Africa, Kenya and Ghana attended the first module, with a focus on fostering regional trade, innovation in digital technology, good governance and sustainable energy. 'The participants toured a solar power facility installed for the small community of the island. 156 solar panels were installed with the support of World Bank in 2017 to supply power to households,' Mthethwa said. He said the Ghanaian government emphasised that this has drastically improved the quality of life of the island community, whose survival is dependant on fishing. The project has prompted the construction of new health and education facilities and is attracting professionals to the island to provide essential services.

The visit to the solar energy facility is said to be key to Mpumalanga's exploration of the energy mix, to meet the high demand for power generation.

The Biggest Grill brings bold flavour to Polokwane
Quick read The Biggest Grill, founded by Rangwane 'LeBiga' Maluleke, turns braai culture into a top-tier dining experience. Known for bold flavours and generous portions, the business has earned awards and loyal community support. LeBiga's journey began in his mother's kitchen and now includes catering, charity work, and plans for expansion. Full story POLOKWANE – What started as a young boy's curiosity in his mother's kitchen has become one of Polokwane's most loved culinary ventures. Rangwane 'Biggest' Maluleke, affectionately known as 'LeBiga', is the founder of The Biggest Grill, a standout spit braai and catering company in Penina Park. With a name that reflects not only his nickname but his philosophy, namely big flavour, big portions, big personality, The Biggest Grill has carved out a reputation for delivering hearty, flavour-packed meals and a dining experience that brings communities together. 'I always had a passion for food. Helping my mom cook ignited something in me. I knew early on that food would be my path,' he told BONUS. After years of cooking for friends and family, he took the leap and started his own venture, with a vision to turn braai culture into a professionally executed, mouth-watering experience for everyone. From whole lamb spit braais to traditional dishes with a modern twist, the menu is a celebration of local flavour, proudly using locally sourced ingredients. And it's not just the food that sets the business apart. 'We pride ourselves on attention to detail, quality, and hospitality,' Maluleke added. 'Plus, I believe happy staff means happy customers.' His journey hasn't been without challenges, but his passion and his team have kept the fire burning. That dedication has paid off. The business was named Best BBQ Restaurant in Polokwane at the Restaurant Guru Awards and has been featured on major radio platforms. Perhaps most significantly, it has earned the love and loyalty of its community. Outside the kitchen, Maluleke is involved in local food initiatives and charity work, crediting his team and family for helping him manage his growing responsibilities. His goal is to become the go-to braai company in the region, with multiple locations, a strong online presence, and an unshakable commitment to good food, good company, and giving back.
