This Youth Day, we celebrate the enthusiasm, resilience, and potential of South Africa's young people.

On the 16 June, Esri South Africa proudly supported STEAM for Kids Education, an inspiring initiative powered by Ginini Consulting, dedicated to equipping young minds with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape industries and careers, it is more important than ever to prepare our children for the future.

In this informative session, we explored coordinate systems, datums, and projections and how they can impact your data, especially when information is incorrectly positioned. The session highlighted practical topics such as georeferencing, choosing the correct projection for an application, integrating CAD data into a GIS environment, understanding both vertical and horizontal datums, and datum transformations to ensure accurate mapping and analysis.

Retail is evolving fast—and gut instinct is no longer enough. By using spatial technology, data, and analytics, retailers can better understand customer behaviour, optimise store locations, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. Esri South Africa, in combination with its data partners, can provide tailor-made solutions to assist retailers.

Today’s retailers must look to advanced location intelligence and a wealth of data sources to adapt, grow and compete more effectively, says Esri South Africa.

In this informative seminar, we explored how imagery is driving a powerful information revolution across business, government, science, and research. With data captured from drones, aircraft, satellites, and mobile devices, we now have near real-time visibility of our world. By combining imagery, LiDAR, and GIS, organisations are able to unlock deeper insights and create dynamic digital twins—even enabling immersive virtual reality experiences. Esri South Africa demonstrated integrated workflows using GeoAI and LiDAR processing, all within a single environment powered by ArcGIS.

These images show flooding in the Letaba River area of Kruger National Park at different times.

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟏 shows a normal satellite view of the river before flooding.

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟐 shows colour infrared imagery where brighter red areas indicate healthier vegetation, helping us see changes in the landscape after flooding.

𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟑 & 𝟒 show a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) view from Sentinel-1, where purple highlights the river and flooded areas. SAR can see through clouds and rain, allowing floods to be monitored even during storms.

Satellites help us quickly see how far floodwaters have spread, even in remote areas—because fast information means faster response.
