Heidelberg Heritage Plaque Honours Historic Cinema
Story 1
The Heidelberg Heritage Association has unveiled its 87th blue plaque, commemorating the historic Union Bioscope on Jacob Street.
The building dates back to around 1913 and originally screened silent films accompanied by live music, before becoming a popular cinema for generations of Heidelberg residents.
It stopped showing films in the early 1980s and was later used as a gym, before being transformed into The Daily coffee shop.

Kouga Launches Municipal Scale Battery Storage System
Story 2
Kouga Municipality has commissioned a R24 million battery energy storage system in St Francis Bay, the first municipal scale installation of its kind in the country.
The system can store electricity bought from Eskom during cheaper periods and supply it when demand and tariffs are higher.
It is also expected to reduce peak demand costs and help restore power more quickly during outages.
The 2.5 megawatt system forms the first phase, with the municipality planning to increase its capacity in future.
