South African cement producer, PPC Limited, recorded solid performance for the financial year 2024 (FY24) buoyed by strong performance by its Zimbabwean operations, reported <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/govt-projects-bouy-ppcs-performance/">The Herald</a>.
The group revealed that revenue rose 20,6 per cent to R10 058 million for the review period, driven primarily by a strong performance in PPC’s Zimbabwean operation.
The South African and Botswana operations revenues increased only marginally by 5.2 per cent, driven by price increases and increased sales of clinker to Zimbabwe.
In contrast, revenue from the materials businesses declined by 6 per cent compared to the previous year.
According to the performance review update, PPC’s operation in Zimbabwe registered a strong recovery in 2024 albeit off a low base following the extended maintenance shutdown of the kiln in the first half of 2023. Said PPC:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe won back the market share it had lost with demand across both residential construction and Government-funded infrastructure projects.
</blockquote>
Cement sales volumes in Zimbabwe rose by 36,6 per cent when compared to the prior year.
During the year under review, PPC Zimbabwe’s revenue almost doubled, increasing by 90,9 per cent in rand terms to R3 346 million on strong cement volumes and price increases.
PPC said the full-year impact of the 5 per cent selling price increase that was effected in August 2022 (prior year) and the 4 per cent sales price increase effected in January 2024 also contributed to the revenue increase.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) margins reduced marginally to 20,2 per cent compared to 20,8 per cent in FY23 but significantly off the half-year margins of 24,6 per cent due to high electricity costs resulting from a gradual tariff increase.
Clinker purchases also continued in H2 FY24 and the full cost of purchased clinker was 169 percent higher than the prior year.
The Zimbabwe unit paid a US$11 million dividend during the year compared to US$10 million in the prior year.
Meanwhile, the unit remains suspended from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) following its suspension in June 2020 together with Old Mutual and Seed Co International on allegations they were fueling inflation.

Zimbabwean Government Projects Buoy PPC Performance

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Pretoria_Portland_Cement_Limited">Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC) Company Limited</a>, South Africa’s largest cement maker, is reportedly considering selling its Zimbabwe business for about $200 million.
A sale will help the company, founded in 1892, to focus on its South African operations, according to <a href="https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/ppc-weighs-sale-of-zimbabwe-unit-2023-02-07">Engineering News</a>.
Sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said discussions are at an early stage. 
Pricing negotiations are said to be ongoing, and there is no guarantee that a deal will go ahead. 
In responses to questions by Bloomberg, the company said:
<blockquote>
PPC regularly receives unsolicited approaches for various parts of its businesses, including PPC Zimbabwe.
PPC’s board has a duty to assess any such approaches on their respective merits.
</blockquote>
The PPC unit in Zimbabwe has attracted interest from a local company involved in road construction and home building, sources said.
PPC manages to conduct about 80% of its sales in US dollars, driven by demand for its products in mining, residential construction and government-funded infrastructure projects, according to the company’s trading statement.
Demand for the construction material is expected to expand to 1.6 million tons this year, an increase of about 60% from 2017, according to PPC. 
The alleged plan to sell the Zimbabwean unit comes as some overseas investors are fleeing Zimbabwe as it grapples with a currency crisis and the effects of US sanctions on many of the nation’s politicians and business people.
Holcim sold its business in the Southern African nation last year to a local firm.
A number of banks including Barclays and <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/5-investors-make-bids-to-acquire-standard-chartered-bank-zimbabwe/">Standard Chartered are also leaving</a> Zimbabwe.

PPC Reportedly Considering Selling Its Zimbabwe Business

Three children aged 11, 12, and 14, have been admitted to the hospital with burn injuries after allegedly stepping on the chemical waste that cement manufacturer <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Pretoria_Portland_Cement_Limited">Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC)</a> had “carelessly” dumped. 
On January 13, the boys were herding cattle at the business’s Colleen Bawn, Matabeleland South, facility when they stepped in hot dust created by the burning of clay and limestone.
The three kids are being treated in Bulawayo’s Mater Dei Hospital.
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/PPC.jpg">Graphic Image of the burnt kids</a>
PPC claimed in a statement seen by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/ppc-battles-negligence-claims-after-3-boys-suffer-severe-burns-at-dust-pile/">ZimLive</a> that “investigations into the event have been launched in accordance with the company’s policies.“
The company said that it had “aided with all medical support required” and said that the boys were “stable” in the hospital.
According to company sources, the area where the electrostatic precipitation (EP dust) was disposed of was not intended for that use because it was outside of PPC’s fenced-in area, endangering the nearby populations. An employee is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
The Environmental Management Agency once stopped the dumping of waste at the dumpsite. Dumping of EP dust there is clearly against environmental protocols.
Dumping of EP dust should be rare, and the increased dumping clearly indicates PPC is struggling with managing waste.
</blockquote>
The PPC insider claims that there was another incident early last year in which two individuals experienced slight burns in the same location.
High temperatures are used to burn clay and limestone, and the dust that does not become clinker—the primary raw material used to make cement—is thrown away.
According to a PPC insider, the business had previously altered the dust reduction technology, which prevented EP particles from blowing into the environment via chimneys. The EP dust builds up under the new method and must be regularly removed to dumpsites.
In addition, he challenged the assertion made by PPC that the incident occurred on its “industrial dumping site in the western section” of Colleen Bawn. The worker said:
<blockquote>
That’s not true. The incident happened in a clay stockpile area, which is not a designated dumpsite for EP dust. How can they dump hot material outside the fence? That place was identified for dumping clay to close a hole that had been dug there, after which dumping was supposed to stop. The dust pile shouldn’t be as high as it is now.
</blockquote>
He claimed PPC was in violation of environmental procedures and had failed to “control recognised hazards” as a member of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 45001.
When questioned about the allegations of negligence, Mavellas Sibanda, head of operations and projects at PPC, denied that they had received a reprimand from EMA. He did, however, confirm that the company had stopped dropping EP dust in the vicinity of the event on Friday.

Three Children Burnt After Stepping On PPC's "Negligently Dumped" Chemical Waste

Cement manufacturing company, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Pretoria_Portland_Cement_Limited">PPC Zimbabwe</a> has said it is ready to study implementing the US$43 million solar project after securing the required funding.
PPC Zimbabwe Managing Director Mr Kelibone Masiyane made the announcement on Wednesday last week during a fact-finding visit by the Parliamentary portfolio committee on Industry and Commerce. 
The project is set to be carried out on two farms which will produce 30 megawatts with the Bulawayo plant requiring only 17 megawatts, while the remaining 13 megawatts are set to be fed into the national grid.
A total of 20 000 solar panels will be installed at a farm in Umguza just next to the Bulawayo plant while 40 000 panels will be put up in Colleen Bawn, Gwanda with all the panels being the sun tracking type. 
Mr Masiyane said they had completed financial closure paving way for work to commence on the ground. He said:
<blockquote>
We are spending roughly about US$43 million for two solar plants, one in Colleen Bawn and the other here in Bulawayo. We have thus concluded the financial closure in the last two weeks so now that it is done you must start seeing some activity on the ground.
We are investing in solar, green energy which is part of our de-carbonisation journey. As a cement producer you are aware that we are notorious for releasing a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
If you look at annual release, we contribute about eight percent of global emissions as cement producers.
</blockquote>
The development comes as Zimbabwe is failing to generate enough power for local consumption. Zimbabwe’s power-generating capacity is 1 400 megawatts, but the projected national peak demand is 2 400 megawatts.
The southern African country imports some electricity from South Africa and Mozambique, nevertheless, imports are not enough to cover the deficit.

PPC Zimbabwe Says It's Ready To Start Implementing The US$43 million Solar Project

Cement manufacturer Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC) Zimbabwe has said the cement manufacturing sector has enough production capacity to meet the demands of the country.
Speaking while briefing the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Industry and Commerce this Wednesday which was visiting their offices in Bulawayo, PPC Zimbabwe Managing Director Kelibone Masiyane said:
<blockquote>
As the cement manufacturing industry, we do have enough capacity to meet the demands of the country.
We however some time last year had an unfortunate incident where Lafarge cement had an accident that led to the closure of the plant while we were also having major maintenance works.
Hence we had two major players down leading to a shortage. However, as the cement industry, we have the capacity.
</blockquote>
The visit by the committee was part of its fact-finding visits to cement manufacturing industries.
The chairperson of the committee, Joshua Sacco (ZANU PF), explained the reasons for the fact-finding visit. He said:
<blockquote>
The main reason for our visit is to look at the capacity as in do we as a country have the capacity to produce cement as you know there is a lot of construction being done around the country.
There is a perception that we do not have enough cement in the country so as a committee we have been looking at this to say do we have enough capacity to produce as Zimbabwe. We are looking at pricing as well as quality issues.
We have come across a number of issues that we feel the government should address and come on board.
We are very happy to report that Lafarge they have received support from the government, and they have installed a vertical mill.
PPC has also received support from the government in establishing a milling plant in Harare. So we see that there is close interaction between government and business.
However, there is a need to look into revamping the National Railways of Zimbabwe to reduce the cost of logistics.
Issues of energy supply are some of the issues we came across. Hence we will engage the relevant authorities

Cement Manufacturers Say They Have Enough Capacity To Meet Demand

PPC, Africa’s biggest cement company, says cement sales in Zimbabwe grew 25% year-on-year up to March, on better-than-expected demand from individual buyers and government projects.
In an update on Wednesday, PPC said cement sales are expected to come in 36% better than pre-pandemic levels. Said PPC: 
<blockquote>
PPC Zimbabwe continues to trade well and ahead of expectations. For the 12 months ending March 31, 2022, PPC Zimbabwe’s cement sales volumes are expected to increase by 21%-25% year-on-year, benefiting from retail demand, increased sales to concrete product manufacturers, and support from government-funded projects.
Relative to the comparable period ended March 31, 2020 (pre-COVID-19), cement sales volumes are expected to increase by 33%-36%.
</blockquote>
In a separate presentation to investors on Wednesday, PPC said 54% of its sales in Zimbabwe were in foreign currency.
The company said, in terms of forex receipts, it was profiting from domestic forex sales, foreign direct investment-funded projects and diaspora demand.
The company previously struggled to repatriate its earnings to South Africa in dividends. But, since November 2020, PPC has managed to send US$10,6 million in dividends. In total, PPC has repatriated US$95 million from Zimbabwe since 2010.
The company has now cleared all its Zimbabwean debts, which stood at US$18.9 million in December 2019.
Cement consumption across the industry has grown to 1.4 million tonnes per year, from below one million tonnes in 2017.
PPC expects demand to reach 1.6 million tonnes next year as construction projects increase.
Previously, PPC said it was supplying public projects such as Muchekeranwa Dam, Gwayi-Shangani Dam, the new Manyame Air Base Hospital, National University of Science and Technology (NUST) student accommodation, Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, the Beitbridge-Harare Highway and the Beitbridge Border Post expansion.

PPC Sees Annual Zimbabwe Cement Sales Up 25% As Demand Rise From Home Builders, Govt Projects

It has emerged that cement making giant PPC will be next year’s headlining sponsor at the Zimbabwe Music Award. In an interview with the Sunday Mail’s Kelibone Masiye revealed the reason behind PPC sponsoring ZIMA which will be held on 25 January 2019.
Kelibone said:
<blockquote>Being a top brand, we believe Zima has begun a journey of recognising musical excellence. This is one way of giving back to the community that has supported PPC over the years. Music plays a crucial role in communicating profound messages in any environment. While PPC is more into science and engineering, we believe the arts are a critical fibre in our society.
The arts need the support of corporates like PPC to grow and cultivate a positive spirit of constructive competition in order to continuously improve the quality and standard of music in the country. PPC’s mantra is “Strength Beyond”. We believe in strengthening communities because we are stronger together.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Music_Awards">Zimbabwe Music Awards</a> will make a comeback next year after a 3-year hiatus.
