Yotam Gidron has done us all a huge service by putting Israel and Africa back on the agenda.

Sub-Saharan Africa allows Israel to triangulate its commercial, security and longer-term political interests; it can sell its specialized security technologies and consolidate links with evangelical churches that are linked to pro-Zionist churches in the United States.

African leaders are always on the lookout for more efficient technologies of repression, and insofar as the \"war on terror\" gave them a political cover story, Israel stepped in as a supplier unhindered by human rights legislation.

Israel's security strategy for Africa isn't an updated version of Cold War-style ideological alignment but rather a fusion of the principles of transactional politics--the transnational political marketplace--with specialist service provision drawn from its counter-terror assemblage.

This is where Israel steps in: in Washington's eyes, a country that recognizes Israel and cooperates with it cannot be a state sponsor of terror.

South Africa’s seasonally adjusted Absa Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) expanded in June as an easing of coronavirus restrictions lifted business activity and sales.

The index, which gauges manufacturing activity in the economy, rose to 53.9 points in June from 50.2 points in May.

“The further rise in June merely means that a solid month-on-month increase was likely recorded,” analysts at Absa said of the survey.

South Africa imposed a strict lockdown in late March to curb the spread of the coronavirus but has since eased some of the restrictions.

From 1 June, much of the economy was allowed to return to full capacity.
