At group level, he said the higher levels of electricity outages in the second half of the year had a limited impact on Nedbank’s own operations, but had a material negative impact on many of its clients. “In the main, we are looking at solar financing, panel financing, solar solution financing and at the corporate level, we are the market leader having put more than R40 billion in loans for renewable energy,” he said. “We have also led in the digital space with the introduction of the contactless card on Zimswitch,” she said.

Nedbank's local green shade lightens - The Namibian (Namibian)

We do not plan to reduce our branch network but to adapt to meeting both the digital and physical needs of our clients and to provide more contact points for our customers' convenience,” said Murorua. She said while all the other banks have issued green and sustainability bonds – Nedbank Namibia intends not to issue such, as they momentarily have capital that they still need to disburse in the economy, and are busy funding renewable energy projects too, which are mainly the targets of these bonds. Murorua said the bank has over 105 000 clients and only 46% are digitally active, adding that the bank is hard at work to ensure that at least 50% of its clientele becomes digitally active. The headache of high NPLs is matched with a high cost to income ratio, which was recorded at 66% from 68% in 2021. Murorua said her team and the central bank had a meeting recently to discuss the NPLs, which are way above the industry average of 5,7%. Nedbank Group Limited has declared a final dividend of N$8,66 per share for the 2022 financial year, and will also embark on a share buyback scheme to the tune of N$5 billion.

Funding green transition is a major focus for Nedbank CIB (Creamer Media's Engineering News)

“One of the key priorities for South Africa right now should be to decarbonise electricity generation,” highlights Nedbank Investment Banking Sustainable ...

Of course, the project would also have to meet the bank’s credit appetite and the potential client would have to be able to afford it. Being relevant to the demands of the future is what is important. That’s what we explain to our clients. Another area of focus for the lender is the mining sector, essential for the production of the metals, such as lithium and copper, that are essential for the energy transition. “Our team uses innovative financing approaches which are transparent allowing the project ‘impacts’ to be seen.” It’s also about building resilience, which is what we need, to preserve value. The project also has to be good and have merit. The South African power sector is very coal intensive right now and it needs to switch to greener energy sources. Her team would structure the sustainability aspects of the deal and work together with other teams in the bank to mobilise funding from external sources and combine them into a financial package for the client. Focusing on renewable power allows us and corporates in general to make a big impact in the near term.” “We, as a bank, are doing this by ensuring that we are allocating capital to energy projects that are supportive of transitioning away from coal-intensive technologies.” But the energy transition is not limited to electricity generation. The bank was the first South African commercial bank to issue a Green Bond, in 2019, and it financed the first private sector energy wheeling arrangement in the country.

But the joy would be short-lived as Stars equalised six minutes later with a goal that would take the game to extra-time. First it was Mhango’s shot that crashed back off the post, before Ethan Brooks struck the crossbar in extra-time. Pirates midfielder Oupa Manyisa pulled a goal back from Happy Jele’s square-ball, but Rantabane headed home with nine minutes remaining to secure a famous result. It all appeared to be going to plan for AmaKhosi as Zimbabwean hot-shot Knowledge Musona put Chiefs ahead in the 36th minute. The minnows might have been further ahead too, but Stars goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini saved Buhlebuyeza Mkhwanazi's penalty, just to add to the drama. It was expected to be a routine assignment, but cheered on by a vociferous home crowd, the home side grabbed the win. And they were almost level when the latter’s shot hit the underside of the crossbar but bounced out instead of in, and Royals were able to celebrate a famous victory. And Mokoena had a chance for the hat-trick when the home side were awarded a penalty, but he could not get power in his shot and the opportunity was wasted. But boy, would they surprise. Chiefs had numerous opportunities in the second half to secure the win, but after a litany of misses, were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal. This was the first time a third-tier side had beaten Premiership opposition in the Last 16. It was just the second ever Last 16 victory for a minnow side over a DStv Premiership team, and the first in 12 years.

Soweto giants and their Nedbank Cup shocks | SuperSport (SuperSport)

Between them, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs have been knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by lower league opponents seven times since 2008.

Richards Bay took the lead through Thabani Dube, who was an ever-present when Galaxy lifted the Nedbank Cup in 2019. Phenyo Mongala and Thabo Moleko scored in quick succession to put the home side back in front, but Chiefs levelled again through a Siphiwe Tshabalala penalty. Morgan Shivambu put Leopards in front, but Willard Katsande equalised 11 minutes from time. One of the final nails in the coffin of then Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt came when his side lost to second-tier Richards Bay in the Last 32 in 2021. Highlights, post-match interviews will be available on the SuperSport app at fulltime. And Mokoena had a chance for the hat-trick when the home side were awarded a penalty, but he could not get power in his shot and the opportunity was wasted.
