The South African coalfields are destroying the once verdant landscape east of Johannesburg. They are hidden from the roads and thus the only way to see the damage caused by their vast pits is to survey them from the air - with the help of a group of volunteer pilots.
The biennial African Aerospace and Defence Expo has evolved from being primarily an aerospace expo to being a defence show. For 2024 the shift in focus was heightened by poor weather that limited the airshow at Guateng, South Africa, as well as the absence of former key exhibitors.
