overnment looks at jump-starting biofuel

Durban - The government was likely to review its position on the biofuels industry and create a mandatory market if necessary to boost the sector's launch, Sandile Tyatya, the chief director of renewable energy at the department of minerals and energy, said this week. Tyatya said the decision would be made if the government realised producers would be unable to access the market unless it was mandatory. Tyatya said the process would go through the cabinet. 'We can do it any time because it is actually the prerogative of the minister,' said Tyatya. The state released the biofuels policy document last December. It set a target of having a 2 percent ethanol blend by 2013



While this picture may be overstressed, infiltration and other activities of apartheid spies was a real factor, inside and outside South Africa. The ANC therefore had to develop its own intelligence service.
It is not clear how far it succeeded, but it does appear to have penetrated certain Security Police offices as well as the Department of Home Affairs (thus providing false passports of the same quality as truly official ones).
Having knowledge, or the responsibility to gather such intelligence, was an especially powerful weapon that could be used to advance the cause of liberation, defend the organisation from penetration, and also settle scores and fight in factional battles.
The Hefer Commission inquiry arose from Mac Maharaj, leader of Operation Vula (an underground group, including national leaders, infiltrated at the instance of top leaders outside the country) and later a Cabinet minister in the first democratic government, and Mo Shaik, a former intelligence operative, alleging that Bulelani Ngcuka, then director of Public Prosecutions was an apartheid- era spy.
The allegation was made on the basis of intelligence gathered or claimed to have been gathered during the 1980s, which was then put before the ANC. It could possibly have been acted on in that period, as was the case with others who experienced a degree of marginalisation without the investigation ever being made public. Whether or not the allegations are true is not my concern here. What matters is that some individuals were deployed to gather information about other individuals, and this information could be used to confirm if someone was a spy and warn people to avoid the person (or as often happened) to isolate someone for other reasons
