Small businesses. Big potential. 🚀

Starting a business takes courage. Growing one takes knowledge, resilience and access to the right opportunities.

That's what Babcock's Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) is all about.

Our latest group of entrepreneurs recently received laptops to support their learning and help them apply new skills to the everyday challenges of running a business.

It's another step in a programme that has supported emerging entrepreneurs in South Africa for more than a decade, combining practical business education, mentorship and guidance to help build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

We're proud to play a part in helping South African entrepreneurs build businesses with a future.

⭐ Africa Safety Star – October 2026 ⭐

Congratulations to Giuliana from Jet Park, our Africa Safety Star for October! 👏

Following a workplace near miss, Giuliana identified an opportunity to strengthen both safety and employee well-being through 'Buddy Up'.

The initiative pairs colleagues and encourages regular check-ins, helping them get to know and look out for one another. This can also help ensure that important information, such as allergies or emergency contacts, is known should an emergency arise.

It’s a simple idea with a meaningful purpose: building stronger connections and helping colleagues be there for one another when it matters.

👏 Well done, Giuliana, for turning a safety observation into positive action.

South Africa doesn’t have a truck problem. It has an infrastructure problem.

For transporters, the condition of our roads has a very real business impact, from increased vehicle wear and maintenance costs to downtime, reduced productivity and lower asset values.

And the impact goes much further than the transport industry. When the cost of moving goods increases, those costs ultimately move through the supply chain and contribute to greater pressure on businesses and consumers. South African infrastructure problem is costing transporters.

At Babcock, we believe an efficient transport industry needs infrastructure that allows investment in modern vehicles and technology to deliver its full potential.

Reducing emissions while keeping South Africa’s power stations reliable. How do we get the balance right?

As South Africa navigates its energy transition, improving the environmental performance of existing coal-fired power stations remains a critical engineering challenge.

On 22 October 2026, Thava Govender, CEO of Babcock Ntuthuko Engineering, will present at the inaugural Southern Africa Coal Conference 2026, hosted by FFF Carbon, under the theme “The Significance of Coal in a Dynamic World.”

His presentation, “Practical pathways to lower emissions in existing coal-fired power stations,” will explore how targeted engineering interventions, combustion optimisation and emissions-control technologies can help improve the efficiency, reliability and environmental performance of existing power stations.

Drawing on Babcock’s engineering expertise and practical project experience, Thava will highlight the importance of plant-specific solutions that balance emissions reduction, energy security, technical feasibility and cost.

We look forward to contributing to this important industry conversation and sharing practical solutions for a cleaner, more reliable energy future.

They tested the trucks. They compared the numbers. Then they ordered SEVEN more DAFs.

320,000 km without a breakdown. Impressive fuel efficiency. Lower operating costs.
Faith Transport put DAF to the test against other leading truck brands on the same routes across Southern Africa. The results convinced them to expand their fleet with seven new DAF XF 530 trucks from Babcock.

Don't take our word for it. Hear it from the people running the trucks.
