Fin24 No we are over this green energy scam. Those selling this pollute the most. Instead of sorting out their pollution, they feel it necessary to lecture Africa. No, the only thing Africa needs to do is stop entertaining the west & its bs.
Fin24 It will never happen Spain alone is using electricity that is equivalent to Africa as whole , 40 % of that electricity is in South Africa , Same South Africa that is having electricity only 18 hours a day . Africa is just a dark continent !!!!
