Rolls-Royce (www.Rolls-Royce.com) has officially opened a new headquarters and training facility in Johannesburg, South Africa, to support its Power Systems division.

Located in a specially adapted facility spanning approximately 6,000m², the new site consolidates core customer-facing functions into a central hub, including service coordination, spare parts storage, logistics, and technical training. It complements Rolls-Royce’s existing footprint in South Africa, with mtu engine rebuild capability, and finance and logistics functions located in Cape Town.
The training centre is designed to support between 100 and 150 trainees annually with a wide range of training engines, including mtu 2000 and 4000 series, used for power generation, mining and rail applications. Trainees will benefit from access to advanced tooling and use simulation equipment for electronic training. The centre will deliver certified practical and theoretical training, equipping customers and partners from across Africa with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to support a wide range of applications and industries.
The new facility, operated by Rolls-Royce Solutions Africa, features dedicated capacity for the engineering and assembly of repower modules, enabling the replacement of engines in mining haul trucks and excavators with more suitable mtu power solutions. This allows customers to select upgrade options tailored to their specific operational needs. Fitting mtu engines delivers clear commercial benefits, including lower Total Cost of Ownership through improved fuel efficiency, increased equipment availability, and reduced maintenance costs. With a strong focus on system resilience, the regional subsidiary Rolls-Royce Solutions Africa is committed to delivering robust, fit-for-purpose solutions designed to perform in the demanding and often harsh operating environments across the continent.
Cobus Van Schalkwyk, Director Global Mining and Managing Director, Rolls-Royce Solutions Africa:
“As we approach our 25th year in South Africa, this new facility is a clear signal of our confidence in Africa’s growth and our commitment to being closer to our customers.
“By bringing support services, technical training, and parts availability together under one roof, we’re building the capabilities that matter most to our partners across the continent. This investment also supports our strategy to further localise operations, reduce lead times, and strengthen supply chain resilience — critical advantages for customers operating in remote or fast-paced environments.”

This recognition is really getting to the secessionist anyways for 8 min and 4 sec lets put our difference aside to watch this
samale kune.
My lord this video almost five years ago,kkkkkk
ANIIS…''The only way to get to what we want to be is to do what needs to be done to get it. “ You know what I mean”………………..I guess we and the IC know what you mean with that, and soon you will see many separatists like you being charged with funding terrorists activities. Glad that you exposed yourself, your fellow separatists and your leaders.
I remember those early dating experience with me wife she was so full of herself. There was this particular moment while we were dining out she whispered into my ear and said walaal I will never settle down with a faqash guy. LMAO not only she settle down with a faqash but she had his three children and she has forgotten all about the Ethiopian stooge (SNM)…
LOL, what a great story. You should have published it
Sxb the only way to conquer hargeisa is through their women.
Loool puntlandgeezer,
Somalis have been inter marrying all their life. Just don't disrespect your wife in public like you always do in SLPress trying to score a goal. Imagine if your dad talked about your mum the way you talk about your wife in public. Isgu xishood dee.
Ps if you want darood men to all marry Isaaq women, who will marry your women? Lol
Walaal Issaq people are racist they don't like to mix with other somali clans. I can even recall when I was dating this Issaq bird in my college days while in Birmingham her family were very hardcore SNM Issaq extremists who didn't approve our relationships on the basis of my clan. Surly If Issaq were mixing like you said with other somali clans they wouldn't be reviving a colonial white trash village.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
the only reason why burger-land geezer married an issaq chick is because 96% of all darood women in the west have either JAMAICAN OR NIGERIAN boyfriend. EVEN HIS LITTLE SISTER IS RIGHT NOW SUCKING OFF GUY CALLED EGBO BOUSTSAUNMO FROM SOUTH NIGERIA
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Baboon your a technically a faqash because you were conceived out of wedlock when your mom spread her legs wide open and let a faqash lieutenant bang her.
Your still in search of your father right?
ALL THE REASON WHY SOMALILAND WILL NEVER BE RECOGNISE AS COUNTRY
1) A WARLORD PRESIDENT AND MURDERER
2) ONE TRIBE GOVERNEMENT (ISSAQ)
3) THERE IS NO JUSTICE
4) THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY
5) CORROPTION
6) ALL THE INTERNATION FUNDING GOES TO THE ISSAQ LAND
7) HIPOCRITE ISSAQ GORVERNMENT
8) NO UNITY BETWEEN THE SOMALILAND TRIBES
9) ONE SELFISH ISAAQ AND HIS OWN PEOPLE GORVERNEMENT
10) THERE IS NO POWERSHARING
11) SOMALI HATES
12) LACK OF HONESTY
13) WESTERN LOVES (WHAT HAPPEN NOW)
14) LACK OF DEEN (FORGOT ABOUT THE HEREAFTER)
15) DISOBYE THE QURAN
HOPE YOU ALLAH SHOWS YOU THE BATH OF DEEN ISLAM INCHA ALLAH.
LETS VOTE
WHO AGRRED WITH ME
WHO DOESNT AGREED WITH ME
Agreed!
disagree isaaq are more human than the darood trash
Hargeysa Stated, waxaad tahay qabiillayste fikradiisuba nacayb Somaliland ku salaysantahay ee orod oo raadso dhaqtar kaa daaweeya Somalilander Syndrome ka sida xun kuu haaya.
Magaca aad is ku bixisayna soo saxo .
This proves my point that daroods are the biggest cowards on the horn, why not use the name garowe stated or boosaso stated. kust sums up the darood way of thinking. Mogadisho has kicked out these blood suckers for a reason. The t somali hero gen aydiid had the salvation of these black jews
Lack of recognition has only made us stronger over the last 22-Years and we will continue to go from strength to strength in the coming 22-years.
Personally i would like to see all the Shabab and Pirate Prisoners Somaliland-Republic is holding illegally to be released. They have not committed any crimes within Somaliland-Republic territory including Territorial waters.
They are not our problem… Free them all and let them return to them families in Somalia-Italia.
Your fake project is UP and GONE in the dust,. somaliland fairy tale story is finished now the curtain close down for GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
NO more british fake borders. even if s/land region releases the small amount of al-shabab held there and ximin xeeb Pirates it will not any difference. you were wrong the last twenty years and your wrong NOW.
correct, it will not make any difference.
It's sad that this character Aniisa claiming to be head of some advocacy is the kind of leadership Somalilanders have … inept, unintelligent and basically way above his head. These type of leadership can NOT debate coherently in the political diiscourse, whether locally or internationally. I have been to many gathers/forums and majority of these guys are foaming at mouth but can NOT really put together or make a case for the break-away, all you get normally are naming calling and threats an indication of bankruptacy of ideas or logical reasoning.
So long as there are the likes of empty suits like ANIIS as leaders, there will be disastor for the seccionists Clan-lead Admin in British Somaliland.
Aniis you might be charged with inciting violence, you need to be very careful of what you write. I respect your right to freedom of speech' but inciting violance in a volitale region is a dangerous way to take. You are enjoying here in the USA while some of your country men got arrested killed for speaking out in Hargeisa, Siilaanyo government is wanted for war crimes. You can call me prounionist' but i am a Somaliland citizen who is sick and tired of false promises, its our right to look at ourselves in the mirror and exmine our future.
Where in any of this article my brother Anis incited violence? It is all in your sick mind. Is to ask Somaliland people to stand for their right an incitement? Give me a break.
Well done brother Anis. Somaliland can withstand any crisis no matter what and it will stand tall for ever.
I am proud of you. True Isaaqis are saying no to lies and more isolations. Let Garadag declare its own imaginary state and cry about the past…they were always a victim.
True Issa tell you too no way for BS somalinimo..lool
First thing is first Mr.Aniis, the government of Somaliland must and immediately send back all those who came from Somalia and live our villages, towns and cities. They should be chased from Somaliland. This is the only way to control the eventualities. I request the government to do just that.
We should be vigilant about these sleeping cells of Wanlaweyns, and for that matter terrorists from Somalia. We should behave differently from now onwards, and clean our country from anyone who does not belong to Somaliland. We shall not harm them, but repatriate them in a good way. We are the people who gave them million dollar yesterday, but today we proved that they are the enemy of Somaliland, regardless of their status.
Aniis is the survivor of the "holocuast" and he or she is alone in that department because all the other widows have passed ages ago.
No one is going to recognize two mad sub-clans as a state guys stop chewing the green salad.
One thing people are not looking at is Somalilanders are voting and are voting for separation as they have over and over and over again!
No one is going back to the fa q @ash heck even Somalia is getting its ducks in a row and we Somaliland and Somalia will move on as two separate and brotherly countries. The only mo fos trippin out are the fa Q @ash!
Folks, The de jure Somaliland has the right tools and is now ready to be recognized.
The time is ripe and looks positive. God helps those who help themselves. Down with all
the bad apples spearheaded by dissident rogue Kayse mohahahaha
Cheers.
