Radebe clarifies ‘dodgy’ R1bn South Sudan oil deal

Energy Minister Jeff Radebe responded to speculation that he has been pushing for South Africa to invest in building an oil refinery in South Sudan, calling it misinformed.

“Towards the end of 2018, South Sudan invited South Africa to consider participation in the oil and gas sector in their country, to participate in a memorandum of understanding.” “South Africa was part of the process of the liberation of South Sudan. They had a relationship with the country at a high level and the country was deeply committed to ensure that there was peace in the country.”

He refuted negative allegations of corruption and mismanagement and described the media reports on this as malicious information intended to distract their objective and to sour relations with the Sudanese counterparts.
