  • MIL-OSI Africa: Infrastructure development key to economic growth

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    The Deputy Minister of Finance, Dr David Masondo, has reiterated that infrastructure development plays a significant role in government’s ongoing efforts to grow the economy, create jobs and deliver services to citizens.

    “As the South African government, we have committed significant investments towards infrastructure development. We have ambitious infrastructure development programs that have been undertaken in our country,” Masondo said on Tuesday, at the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAI20) Summit.

    The SAI20 is an engagement group of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) from countries that make up the Group of Twenty (G20). It is chaired by the SAI of the country holding the G20 presidency. 

    South Africa assumed the G20 Presidency on 1 December 2024 and it will run until November 2025 under the theme: Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability.

    The Deputy Minister said the country’s ambitious infrastructure development is necessitated by government’s desire to grow the economy through increasing the role of the private sector in the supply of electricity, freight logistics, telecommunications and water.

    “We are working with other international partners towards revitalising ports and harbours. We are upgrading our electricity and digital infrastructure. We are building roads, hospitals and schools. We do all these to improve the socio-economic conditions of ordinary South Africans,” Masondo said.

    In March 2025, Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy launched an online Request for Information to develop an enabling environment for private sector participation and enhanced investment in rail and port infrastructure and operations.

    Last month Transnet issued a R17 billion concession contract to five private sector partners to fund, construct and operate several liquid bulk terminals at the Port of Richards Bay.

    Government has been collaborating with stakeholders to address bottlenecks and inefficiencies to turn around the fortunes of the rail and ports logistics systems.

    Through Operation Vulindlela, government is accelerating the implementation of structural reforms to enable economic growth and job creation.

    Operation Vulindlela is a joint initiative between the Presidency and National Treasury.

    In its first phase, the reform programme focused on five area, namely energy, logistics, water, telecommunications, and the visa system, which were identified as the most important constraints on economic growth. 

    Government has made significant progress in advancing the reform agenda during implementation of Phase I of Operation Vulindlela as almost all of the reforms included in Phase I are either completed or on track.

    The initiative is now in its second phase and the focus areas include improving the performance of local government, addressing spatial inequality through housing policy and other reforms, and advancing digital transformation.

    It will include a rapid rollout of digital public infrastructure, such as digital identity and payments to enable economic activity and improve access to government services. –SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Capped leave liability in the public sector stood at R16.24 billion- report

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    The total capped leave liability in the public sector stood at R16.24 billion as of December 2023, the Public Service Commission (PSC) said on Tuesday.

    Standing at R16.24 billion and covering 189,039 employees, the total capped leave liability represents approximately 14% of the total public service workforce. 

    “It is important to note that this cost continues to increase in line with cost-of-living adjustments and/or appointments into higher positions,” PSC Commissioner Anele Gxoyiya said at a media briefing in Pretoria.

    Addressing media on the commission’s Quarterly Bulletin titled: “The Pulse of the Public Service”, Gxoyiya said the majority of employees holding capped leave are concentrated in the education and health sectors. Most of them were also closer to retirement and according to the Commissioner, that raises concern about potential future skills shortages in these critical areas if not proactively addressed.

    “In relation to study leave, which is a type of special leave, data from national departments indicates that 17 733 – 20 651 employees took study leave from 2020 to 2023,” he said.

    At provincial level, 21 004 – 23 265 employees took study leave from 2020 to 2023.

    “In some provinces, over 70% of these employees were from the Health and Education Departments.  On average, study leave days ranged from five to eight days, with national departments having the highest average at 8.5 days. KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape provinces followed with 7.4 and 6.5 days respectively,” he said.

    The Commissioner further explained that special leave is a negotiated benefit in terms of the public service employment conditions.

    “Prior to the adoption of the General Public Service Sector Bargaining Council Resolution 2 of 2024, departments operated under varied special leave policies, leading to a lack of uniformity across the public service.”

    Meanwhile, there was also a notable increase in sick leave usage observed in 2022, following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the return to full-time workplace operations.

    Grievances

    With regard to the number of grievances handled by the PSC, Gxoyiya said that as at 31 March 2025, the PSC registered 439 grievances, including 85 cases carried-over from the previous financial year.

    “Of the 439 grievances, 338 (77%) have been concluded and 101 (23%) remained pending as at end of 31 March 2025. 

    “Of the 338 concluded cases, 18 (5%) was substantiated, 84 (25%) were unsubstantiated, nine  (3%) were partially substantiated, 43 (13%) were internally resolved within departments following the PSC’s intervention and the remaining 184 (54%) were closed for various reasons, including those that were also pending before different sectoral bargaining councils, the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration or courts.”

    Of the 439 grievances (including 85 cases carried over from the previous financial year), 403 were for employees on salary levels 2-12 and 36 for members of the Senior Management Service (SMS).

    Of the 403 grievances of employees on salaries level 2 to 12, 309 were concluded, of which 282 (91%) were concluded within 150 working days of receipt by the PSC investigator.

    Of the 36 grievances of SMS members, 29 were concluded, of which 24 (83%) were concluded within 150 working days of receipt by the PSC investigator.

    The Commission also expressed concern with the continued failure by some departments to conclude grievances within the timeframes prescribed in the bargained Resolution 14 of 2002 for grievances of employees on salaries level 2 to 12, and Chapter 10 of the SMS Handbook.

    “The PSC will in future investigate the cause of delays in grievance conclusion by departments This will assist in determining whether or not the delays are as a result of the agreed timeframes being unrealistic, or whether it is the human resource capacity issue or whether it is because of any other reason other than these,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Chikunga welcomes life sentences in murder of disabled woman

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    The Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Sindisiwe Chikunga, has welcomed the sentencing of two men convicted in the brutal murder of Nosipho ‘Nomdundu’ Mafani of KwaNokuthula, Western Cape.

    The two men, Mboneli Msila and Monde Tshemese, were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by the High Court of South Africa: Western Cape Division sitting in Knysna, for their role in conspiracy to commit the murder of Mafani, a 23-year-old woman with a mental disability.

    Msila, the adoptive father of Mafani, orchestrated the murder in order to claim funeral policy payouts totalling R600 000.

    He hired three men, Mbulelo Jack, Monde Tshemese, and Lungisile Lucas, to carry out the hit.

    Chikunga said Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) remains a national crisis in South Africa, with disproportionately high rates of violence against women, girls, and vulnerable group, including women in female-headed households, women with disabilities, and Black African women.

    “Gender-Based Violence and Femicide is a deeply rooted societal issue. Women with disabilities, in particular, are often subjected to extreme forms of sexual and physical violence. Despite being one of the most vulnerable groups, their experiences continue to be overlooked and under-addressed in society,” Chikunga said.

    The Minister highlighted that Pillar 3 of the National Strategic Plan (NSP) on GBVF, which places strong emphasis on Justice, Safety, and Protection, aims to address systemic shortcomings in the legal and system, and seeks to enhance the overall response to GBVF cases.

    It also aims to ensure that survivors have access to justice and are afforded safety and protection through improvements to the legal framework and its implementation.

    Although often committed in private settings, the Minister warned that GBVF is not a private matter, but a serious public crime.

    She acknowledged that GBVF is an ongoing diabolic act of violation of human rights, particularly “the rights of persons with disabilities should never be justified and must be confronted with all resources available.”

    “It deprives women and girls of their fundamental human rights, including the right to live free from violence, discrimination, and violation of bodily integrity. Failure to take meaningful action to prevent, prosecute, and punish such acts, constitutes a violation of human rights.

    “All incidents of physical or sexual abuse, intimidation, or threats must be reported to the nearest SAPS station to obtain a case number and/or protection order. Alternatively, victims of sexual offences can seek assistance from the nearest Thuthuzela Care Centre or similar support facilities,” the Minister said.

    Government has also established the Gender-Based Violence Command Centre (GBVCC) to provide 24-hour support to victims of abuse and violence.

    “We share a strong reminder that our government will continue to stand firm to protect and defend human rights as enshrined by the constitution,” Chikunga said. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: SIU secures interim interdict against pension withdrawal

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has secured an interim interdict preventing Sanele Dlamini, a former senior manager at the National Lotteries Commission (NLC), from withdrawing his pension benefits pending the outcome of ongoing litigation.

    The interdict bars Dlamini from accessing his pension benefits until the SIU’s main case  – a civil recovery action tied to the misallocation of R6 million in NLC grant funds – is concluded. 

    The fourth respondent, Liberty’s Corporate Selection Umbrella Retirement Fund, has been directed to assess and disclose the value of Dlamini’s pension within 60 days. 

    This preservation is intended to ensure that funds remain available for potential recovery should the SIU succeed in its claim.

    Dlamini, who held several senior positions at the NLC, including Provincial Manager for KwaZulu-Natal, Senior Manager: Grant Operations, and Acting Chief Operations Officer, was found guilty on four of six disciplinary charges related to misconduct during his tenure. 

    The charges included approving falsified progress reports, as well as gross negligence and dereliction of duty. His dismissal was finalised on 04 October 2024 following the disciplinary process.

    The SIU’s investigation revealed that the NLC-funded project – a sports complex – was never initiated, and supporting documents, including progress reports and financial statements, were falsified. 

    Dlamini, who facilitated the irregular disbursement of R3 million to the Motheo Sports and Entertainment Foundation, co-signed the fraudulent progress report without verifying the site or documentation, enabling the unlawful payout.

    “The SIU pursues a preservation order to limit the risk of a ‘hollow judgment’ if funds were released, noting concerns that Dlamini may lack sufficient assets to satisfy future claims.

    “The order of the Special Tribunal implements SIU investigation outcomes and consequence management to recover financial losses suffered by State institutions because of corruption or negligence. The order forms part of a broader investigation into corruption involving NLC grants intended for community development projects,” the SIU said.

    The SIU is empowered to institute a civil action in the High Court or a Special Tribunal to correct any wrongdoing uncovered during investigations caused by corruption, fraud, or maladministration. 

    In line with the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act 74 of 1996, the SIU refers any evidence pointing to criminal conduct it uncovers to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for further action. – SAnews.gov.za

    24 Jun 2025 Justice

    Scottish Greens call for an apology for the Scottish Government’s role in the Tinker Experiment.

    More in Justice

    The Scottish Government must apologise for its role in the Tinker Experiment if it wants to tackle the ongoing prejudice faced by the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community, says Scottish Green MSP Maggie Chapman.

    Scottish Green MSPs Maggie Chapman and Mark Ruskell have both been campaigning for a public apology from the Scottish Government for its role in the Tinker Experiment. This programme – run by the UK Government and Scottish local authorities – forcibly removed Gypsy Traveller children from their families, and moved communities from their homes into unsafe and substandard accommodation.

    The Scottish Greens asked the Scottish Government for an apology in mid-May, but the Minister for Equalities failed to confirm if the Scottish Government would be making an apology. However, a statement from the Scottish Government on this issue is now expected in Parliament later this week.

    This Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month, Maggie has called on the Scottish Government to finally commit to a public apology.

    Commenting further, Maggie said:

    “Gypsy Traveller communities were irreparably damaged by the Tinker Experiment, a cruel practice which was allowed to go on for far too long. This should be a great shame of Scotland’s past, yet it is a hidden moment in our history, one that has been covered up and too often forgotten by those in power.

    “Prejudice against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities is still very alive and normalised across Scotland. We see discrimination against these communities in our schools and in our social services, with many people I’ve spoken to being refused services because their way of living is deemed unsuitable, and is misunderstood.

    “If we’re serious about addressing the prejudices faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities across Scotland, the Scottish Government needs to apologise for the Tinker Experiment – something which caused such harm to so many children and families. People have been waiting far too long.

    “I hope by this time next year, we don’t have to ask for an apology for previous harms, and instead can use this month to celebrate Gypsy, Roma and Traveller culture and highlight all the exciting activity in these communities, from the North East to Govanhill and Perthshire.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Consultation Process Approved to Tackle Standards in the Private Rented Sector in Preston

    Source: City of Preston

    In a bid to tackle unscrupulous landlords in Preston and improve the quality of the Private Rented Sector (PRS) homes in the city, an external consultant will be employed to work on behalf of the council to carry out a consultation that will consider the introduction of Selective Licensing in three pilot wards in Preston.

    The three wards where this consultation will take place are St Matthews, City Centre and Plungington.

    Selective Licensing in the PRS is a scheme where local authorities designate areas that will benefit from tighter regulation, requiring landlords in those areas to obtain a licence for their privately rented properties.

    Under Selective Licensing, Preston Council can ensure landlords or their property managers are subject to criminal record checks and their rental properties are checked to meet certain standards and conditions like having up-to-date fire and gas safety checks, damp proofing, tenant welfare, good management practices etc; this helps to address issues such as poor property conditions, anti-social behaviour and low demand.

    If landlords fail to comply with the licensing conditions, local authorities can take enforcement action which could include fines and penalties.

    Councillor Zafar Coupland, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing at Preston City Council said:

    “Around a quarter of all housing in Preston is privately rented and due to many factors such as the cost of living crisis and the ongoing recovery from the Covid pandemic, a lack of investment in privately owned, rented housing stock has seen living standards decline, with many of our residents experiencing poor living conditions, which is unacceptable.

    The introduction of Selective Licensing to help better regulate the Private Rented Sector and tackle the most deprived areas of the city, is a priority in our emerging Corporate Plan, and this consultation around the three pilot wards, where deprivation is prevalent, is the first crucial step in rolling out a more robust way to tackle poor quality housing and raise the housing standards for our residents.”

    Councillor Sue Dann, Cabinet Member for Sport and Leisure, said: “It’s fantastic to see the Fit and Fed programme will be returning this year with even more activities for children, young people and their families to enjoy.

    “It’s such an important programme, which not only helps children by encouraging them to get active, try new things and make amazing memories with new friends, but also supports families by helping to alleviate some of the financial pressures of the school holidays by giving children access to healthy lunches and activities that may otherwise be unaffordable.”

    Fit and Fed is funded by the Department for Education’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. The aim is to provide children with healthy and nutritious meals during the school holidays, while also encouraging physical activity and giving children and young people the opportunity to have fun and meet new friends.

    Source: City of Wolverhampton

    City of Wolverhampton Council and developers JP Landscapes & Construction Ltd have begun the transformation work at Northwood Park in Bushbury.

    The work is taking place after the council consulted with residents and children’s groups. Improvements include the replacement of existing play equipment as well as the creation of a new multi-use games area (Muga).

    The play area will include inclusive equipment designed to be used by children with restricted mobility, including swings, a seesaw and roundabout. There will also be seated springer rides, climbing equipment with slides and a springy surfboard.

    The new Muga will be built next to the park’s existing skate park and basketball pitch, providing a high-quality, all-weather area for football, cricket and other ball games.

    Other improvements include a fitness area towards the centre of the park, new fencing, new seats and litter bins, creation of a wildflower meadow and planting of 40 trees. A new paved path on the north-eastern corner of the park will also improve access and cater for activities such as dog walking.

    The work is being funded under a Section 106 Planning Agreement which relates to the new Hampton Park development on land at the former Northicote School, near to the park. The development includes 178 new homes and is named after the school’s former head teacher, Sir Geoff Hampton.

    Work will take place over the coming weeks and residents are advised that some areas of the park will not be accessible on a temporary basis while the improvements are being made.

    Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, City of Wolverhampton Council’s cabinet member for resident services, said: “How exciting to see that work has started at Northwood Park.

    “We’ve got a wide range of improvements planned with exciting new play equipment and a new multi-use games area. We’re also spreading out the revamp with a fitness area and a real spruce up of the rest of the park.

    “We’ve made sure that the views that were put forward in the consultation have been taken into account, and we’d like to thank people for sharing their thoughts. We’re really looking forward to delivering this great range of new attractions and refurbishments for local people to enjoy.”

    24 June 2025

    Education, culture, and community collaboration were celebrated and explored by His Excellency Nuno Brito, Portuguese Ambassador to the UK, during his first official visit to Jersey last week.

    The Ambassador’s visit recognised Jersey’s deep-rooted Portuguese heritage and reaffirmed cross-border engagement that seeks to improve the lives of Islanders.

    Alongside cultural visits to Jersey Archives, Jersey War Tunnels and Mont Orgueil Castle, Mr Brito joined Assistant Chief Minister Deputy Carina Alves at a community lunch at the Town Hall, bringing together members of Jersey’s Portuguese community to celebrate their contribution to the Island’s social and economic success. 

    Learning and language were also central to the two-day tour, with Mr Brito signing a new Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, on behalf of the Instituto Camões – one that extends the provision of Portuguese lessons in Island schools for another five years. 

    On a visit to Le Rocquier School with the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning, Deputy Rob Ward, Mr Brito spoke to pupils about the benefits of developing their home language and how the MoU would be implemented on a day-to-day basis. Year 11 students Tomas and Victoria also described their recent visit to the Portuguese Youth Parliament in Lisbon. 

    The Ambassador spent time with Ministers at the Government’s Union Street office, including Deputy Ian Gorst, Deputy Elaine Miller and the Chief Minister, Deputy Lyndon Farnham, who signed the MoU for the Government of Jersey. 

    Deputy Ward said: “This renewed agreement with Instituto Camões adds strength to our support for Portuguese language education in Jersey. The scheme provides an opportunity for our youth to connect further with Portuguese heritage and culture, and I thank the Instituto Camões for their continued role in facilitating it.”​

    The UK’s modern Industrial Strategy will invest over £150 million in five transformative AI and technology programmes to help UK Professional and Business Services (PBS) sectors such as legal, management consulting and accountancy soar.

    The latest step in the Government’s Plan for Change, the funding comes as part of a wider package of commitments in the Industrial Strategy sector plan for the PBS sector, published this week.

    With professional business services worth £300 billion a year and supporting one in every seven jobs, the sector has been put at the heart of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy, recognising its critical role in unlocking growth and creating jobs across all UK regions and sectors – and the UK’s place as the second largest exporter of services in the world, behind only the US.

    Minister for Investment Poppy Gustafsson CBE will visit the University of Edinburgh on Tuesday where she will meet with the Law Society of Scotland to hear more about AI adoption and how Scotland is a hub for world class PBS firms. 

    Jonathan Reynolds, Secretary of State for Business and Trade said:

    The Professional and Business Services sector is the jewel in the crown of the UK economy, worth over £300bn a year and making up one in every seven jobs.

    Our Industrial Strategy and Plan for Change will help the sector soar further through the adoption of new technologies such as AI and increased promotion overseas as we strive to make the industry the most dynamic and innovative in the world by.

    The plan sets out the sector’s ambition for the UK to be the most trusted adviser to global industry, with the most dynamic and productive PBS sector by 2035, whilst remaining the world’s second largest exporter of professional business services after the US.

    The five programmes will be focused on building on the already high levels of AI adoption in the sector, with major spends on launching a new PBS adapted Made Smarter digital adoption programme and enhancing Innovate UK’s Next Generation Professional Services programme which advises firms to adopt new technologies and support research.

    From Birmingham to Glasgow, this will be accompanied by new PBS centres of excellence in five city regions to offer firms advice, with a new national AI skills hub to offer wider support, alongside a new research programme to tackle barriers to innovation – starting with real estate.

    By placing innovation at the heart of the plan, it aims to increase business investment in the PBS sector and ensure the UK will not just be an AI taker, but an AI maker in delivering modern Professional and Business Services.  

    Other measures to boost the UK’s PBS sector in the plan include:

    • A new marketing campaign for PBS through GREAT + and more opportunities for PBS firms to join government trade missions.
    • Expanded support for regulators to negotiate mutual recognition of professional qualifications agreements, especially with the EU, US, and other key markets.
    • A Trade Digitalisation Task Force to advise PBS firms and clients on the productivity and growth benefits of digital trade documents and processes and to break down barriers to adoption. 
    • UK Export Finance to provide guarantees to PBS firms securing early-stage overseas project contracts for the first time, strengthening the UK’s position as the world’s second largest PBS exporter.  
    • A new PBS AI Champion by summer 2025 to identify growth opportunities, address adoption barriers, and deliver sector-wide AI Adoption.  

    Iain Wright, Chief Policy & Communications Officer, ICAEW, PBSC Business Co-Chair, said: 

    The launch of the Industrial Strategy marks a pivotal moment in the collaboration between business and government to enable the UK economy to grow and we were pleased to work with the government to develop the ambitious sector plan to make the UK the most trusted economy for PBS by 2035.

    With targeted support, the plan sets the stage for a more innovative, competitive and growing sector which underscores our position at the heart of the economy. I strongly welcome this renewed partnership, and we see today’s launch as the start of a long-term collaboration with government to turn this vision into reality.

    Kirsty Newman, Deloitte UK Market Chair, said:

    The PBS sector plan represents an important moment for our sector and sets out a bold and exciting vision for the future. It recognises our impact as a major employer and economic contributor in our own right, but also how we drive growth, innovation and resilience across the economy.

    The sector plan will help to ensure PBS is underpinned by the right skills and regulatory framework, is at the forefront of technological innovation and grows its presence internationally and in all regions and nations of the UK.

    The commitments from government and long-term engagement with the sector can solidify the UK’s reputation as a global centre of excellence for PBS.

    Tamzen Isacsson, Chief Executive of the Management Consultancies Association (MCA), said:   

    Consulting is one of the UK’s great economic success stories, with firms helping clients to grow, innovate, and tackle complex challenges. The Industrial Strategy and PBS sector plan is a blueprint to go further – accelerating tech adoption, opening procurement to SMEs, upskilling our workforce, and cementing the UK’s global leadership in services.

    As a sector with over 300 offices across the UK, we look forward to supporting the regional agenda of the Government as well as partnering with it to promote the skills and expertise of UK consulting globally.

    Richard Atkinson, President of the Law Society of England and Wales, said:

    The government’s new Industrial Strategy can be a game-changer for the UK economy and the legal sector. Putting legal services at the heart of the country’s economic engine will fuel sustained growth.

    Our legal industry is the second largest in the world, the biggest in Europe and brings all other sectors together. By opening global markets for UK lawyers, investing in our courts’ infrastructure, supporting technology in legal services and upholding the rule of law, we ensure the UK remains a global jurisdiction of choice. The Law Society looks forward to working with the government to deliver its long-term vision for growth in our sector.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The city has provided investors with more than 270 hectares of land for the construction of production facilities

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    In order to create and expand production facilities within the framework of the implementation of large-scale investment projects (MaIP), the city provided land plots at a preferential rate for the construction of 54 industrial facilities. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “Since March 2022, investors who plan to build and expand their production facilities in the capital can receive land plots from the city for a symbolic fee of one ruble per year. This support measure is in demand. During its operation, the city has already provided more than 271 hectares of land for the implementation of 54 projects, under which investors will build facilities with a total area of about 2.3 million square meters,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    Some of the land plots have been allocated for the construction of enterprises within industry clusters.

    “Clustering is a trend in Moscow industry, which allows for the unification of production, scientific and auxiliary infrastructure in one territory for the most efficient operation of enterprises and attracting additional investment in the real sector of the economy. By order of Sergei Sobyanin, the city provides land plots for the construction of factories and plants within clusters on preferential terms within the framework of the MAIP. Thus, investors have already begun implementing projects in the food and construction clusters in TiNAO. Upon full launch, the clusters will ensure the creation of about 40 thousand jobs,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

    Maxim Liksutov.

    In total, thanks to the implementation of preferential MAIP, over 23 thousand jobs will be created. Food and construction industry enterprises, factories for the production of medical equipment, cosmetics, clothing and other products will appear on the allocated sites.

    According to Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of City Property, the provision of land plots at a preferential rate for the construction of production facilities allows for the creation of jobs in areas remote from the center. Thus, in the territory of the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts, as well as in Zelenograd, more than 200 hectares of land were allocated for the implementation of 22 large-scale investment projects. There will be enterprises for the production of building materials, food products, furniture and other modern industrial facilities. Their total area will be about 1.5 million square meters.

    Over 25 hectares of land have been allocated in the South-Eastern Administrative District for the implementation of eight projects. Industrial parks, production of building materials, machine tools and other products will be located there.

    In the west of the capital, 16 hectares of land have been allocated for the construction of five enterprises. Here, they will open production of components for cleaning equipment, small architectural forms, joinery and food products. In addition, five MAIPs in the industrial sector will be implemented in the north-east of the capital. They will be provided with plots with a total area of 3.8 hectares at a preferential rate. Thus, in the North-Eastern Administrative District, they plan to establish the production of cosmetics, clothing and medical equipment.

    Large-scale investment projects can include production complexes, innovation centers, healthcare and sports facilities, as well as transport and other facilities. Their implementation allows for the creation of modern infrastructure and jobs in Moscow.

  • MIL-OSI: DSS, Inc.’s Subsidiary, Impact BioMedical Inc., Announces Strategic Merger

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DSS, Inc. (NYSE American: DSS) (“DSS” or the “Company”), a multinational company operating across diverse industries including packaging, wealth management, and biohealth innovation, today announced that its subsidiary, Impact BioMedical Inc. (“Impact”), has entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dr. Ashleys Limited (“Dr. Ashleys”), a global pharmaceutical company.

    Under the terms of the agreement, Dr. Ashleys will acquire Impact through a reverse merger that will result in a newly formed combined entity (the “PubCo”) traded on the NYSE American under the name “Dr Ashleys Limited.”

    This strategic transaction marks an important milestone not only for Impact, but also for DSS, as it reflects a successful outcome in the overall Company strategy to unlock value across the portfolio and for its shareholders by advancing key subsidiaries toward independent public listings and/or other exit opportunities.

    Strategic Rationale

    The combination of Dr. Ashleys’ extensive pharmaceutical manufacturing and commercialization capabilities with Impact BioMedical’s innovation-driven platform positions the combined company to accelerate the development of groundbreaking therapies.

    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a series of conversion and equity alignment actions are contemplated to simplify ownership and strengthen DSS’s strategic position in the newly formed public entity (“PubCo”) immediately prior to closing. This includes the conversion of Impact’s Series A Preferred Stock, the exercise of DSS’s debt-to-equity rights under its promissory note, and the cancellation of in-the-money Impact options and warrants for Impact shares. These shares, including those held by DSS, will be converted into PubCo ordinary shares, representing 4.80% of the combined company’s total outstanding shares at closing.

    For DSS, this transaction extends its equity interest to a larger, globally positioned pharmaceutical company. It offers an opportunity to participate in the growth potential of a public entity with a portfolio of intellectual property, R&D capabilities, and international market reach.

    “This transaction reflects our continued commitment to unlocking shareholder value through the strategic development and monetization of our subsidiaries,” said Jason Grady, CEO of DSS, Inc. “We believe the combination of Impact’s disruptive pipeline with Dr. Ashleys’ global infrastructure and commercial expertise will establish a robust, scalable biopharmaceutical platform. It further validates our strategy of creating long-term value by preparing our key assets for public market growth.”

    Advancing the DSS Strategic Roadmap

    This transaction represents the latest milestone in DSS’s broader strategy to structure and scale its diverse subsidiaries as standalone public entities, unlocking value through spin-offs, strategic transactions, and public listings.

    Transaction Overview

    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a merger subsidiary incorporated in Nevada as a PubCo subsidiary will merge with and into Impact, with Impact being the surviving entity. Simultaneously with or immediately following the merger, the PubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dr. Ashleys Bio Labs Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company holding all shares of Dr. Ashleys. As a result of the Transaction, Impact and Dr. Ashleys shall become wholly-owned subsidiaries of PubCo. Upon closing, the PubCo will be operated by the management team of Dr. Ashleys, with a new Board of Directors to be assembled by Dr. Ashleys.

    The Boards of Directors of both Dr. Ashleys and Impact have unanimously approved the proposed Transaction, subject to, among other things, approval by Impact’s shareholders, and satisfaction (or waiver, as applicable) of the conditions provided in the Merger Agreement, including regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including an effective registration statement on Form F-4 or S-4 in connection with the proposed Transaction being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the approval of listing applications with the New York Stock Exchange.

    Additional information about the proposed Transaction, including a copy of the Merger Agreement, has been provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Impact with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. Additional information about the proposed Transaction will be described in the registration statement on Form F-4 or S-4, which will be filed by the newly formed PubCo with the SEC.

    • AS9100 and ISO 9001-Certified CNC Manufacturer

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PMGC Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ELAB) (the “Company,” “PMGC,” “we,” or “us”), a diversified public holding company, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a U.S.-based, CNC machining company specializing in manufacturing high-complexity components for the aerospace and defense sectors.

    About the Target Company

    The target company, founded in 1948 is AS9100 and ISO 9001certified CNC machining firm specializing in precision aerospace components. With over 75 years of experience, the company operates a modern facility equipped with 5-axis CNC machines, advanced CAD/CAM and ERP systems, and offers a full range of secondary services including grinding, EDM, and honing. It serves commercial and defense aerospace customers with ultra-tight tolerances and cleanroom-capable production, delivering high-quality parts backed by strong customer service and long-standing client relationships.

    With a 2024 revenue base of approximately $4.5 million and $500,000 in adjusted EBITDA, the business combines consistent profitability with a reputation for quality and reliability. Target’s growth has been entirely organic—built on decades of customer referrals, repeat business, and trusted vendor relationships.

    Strategic Fit

    This marks PMGC’s latest step in its strategy to acquire specialized U.S. manufacturers operating in sectors where quality, certification, and technical expertise create long-term value.

    “This company exemplifies the kind of certified, mission-critical supplier we aim to partner with,” said Graydon Bensler, Chief Executive Officer of PMGC. “Its deep integration into high-trust aerospace supply chains, paired with consistent earnings and a strong operational foundation, make it a natural fit for our platform.”

    The closing of this anticipated acquisition is subject to customary conditions, including completion of due diligence, certain corporate approvals, and execution and delivery of definitive documentation. We cannot assure that closing of the acquisition will occur.

For additional information concerning some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect our forward-looking statements, please refer to our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on our website at ir.sonomotors.com.
