Energy Energy Headlines News

With nuclear energy as the anchor of the country’s green energy strategy we may begin to live in a post-baseload reality, which enables the state to invest and build mental infrastructures such as new universities, TVET colleges and other essential infrastructure which allow our society to develop in a harmonious and progressive manner.

As the BMF, we are anchored with the ideal that the energy industry requires a transformation charter that is underpinned by legislative enforcement and one that has actionable punitive measures that will create a conducive environment for equitable economic restructuring. The continued strategic deferrals of the nuclear industry goals by sponsored anti-nuclear lobbyists in this country is unacceptable.

This is an attempt to have exclusion of qualified and skilled black professionals from their meaningful participation in the rocket science that the nuclear industry offers. The mass exodus of South African nuclear skills to other countries developing nuclear programmes is partly as the consequence of this strategic intent.

It will soon be evidenced if the previously white male dominated nuclear industry will not be brought back through the back door with SA having to buy from overseas what it has the capability to create its own nuclear technology infrastructure to benefit its citizenry by further industrialising and creating in-demand in-country skill and expertise. The government should proceed to enable its policy position and direction to be implemented as the future of SA’s economy rests on its shoulders.
