Mantashe said this at the East London International Convention Centre on Tuesday while addressing the third regional conference of the Amathole region of the ANC, where he was invited in his capacity as national ANC chairperson.
Mantashe said it was a bad idea to block Shell’s project as the petroleum giant was being welcomed in other countries such as Namibia, to conduct the same seismic surveys. This meant that South Africa would potentially lose out on massive development and employment opportunities, he added.It is painful to see the rising unemployment among our people. Please re-look at these issues. This province must develop.
Mantashe said practical steps needed to be taken in the economy in order to create jobs. If Shell discovered oil on the Wild Coast, this would create jobs for a lot of people in the province, he added.There have been several protests against Shell around the country since it announced plans for the seismic blasting off the Wild Coast.
Early this month, four environmental and human rights organisations lost an urgent court bid to block Shell from proceeding with its seismic survey.
He who pays the Piper picks the tune.
PresidencyZA ParliamentofRSA PublicProtector SAHRCommission Public servants OBLIGATED to serve&protect citizens. Govt needs to up its game & learn what that actually means! Where are Public Participation & Consequence Management Policies for privileged & protected govt staff?
Let's give the corrupt ANC regime a seismic shock & demand they be re-called in 2022!
Fascinating how we can't seismic survey our own natural resources, to uplift the lives of South Africans
Because has promised something for your pockets its not for the benefit of EC people
All you have in your heart Mantashe - is greed, greed, greed - no care for our sea life! In fact - you have a huge track record of corruption
The tiger is in a corner, he took advance.
Don't reject proposals because they come from people you dislike. I support the survey without any doubt.
I never knew I will be able to pay my bills and get to my stand again life is Good when you see good people... I want you guys to help me Appreciate Robert_BAR1
This is the reason the anc is dying, clinging on to these old fossils that still live in the 1950’s.
The same ego is the fownfall of ANC. They think they are untoucherble.
THIS ONE IS A BULLY .. We can’t wait for 2024!
Dictator
How much Tiger, how much did you pocket tell SA...

No surprises there. Consistent theme when it comes to Eastern Cape biodiversity.
Follow the money
Because it doesn't respect the will of the ppl. But, ppl won't just give up. Just, please, don't get violent with the people - the people, not 'our people'
Then we can only assume there is a kickback somewhere for Gwede and his purple circle.
In a democracy u keep on engaging & pursuing your opponents to ultimately convience them to understand your point of view especially as a public rep..u dont start & end argument with what may be construed as arrogance and 'my way or the high way' attitude...
Well we will use our ground forces to stop this on our shores.
Which is why we won’t support the ANC at the polls!
That's cause government is the security of all the nations that colonised the Khoi and San after all no white or black South African was colonised in SA
Never underestimate the population GwedeMantashe1 . You will lose. VoetsekANC
Is it possible that the ANC or someone close to it owns a substantial stake in this? The world is going and promoting renewable energy; we have a minister who fiercely advocates for fossilised energy and earth distruction. Who's pulling his strings?
Awusho Tata..muntu uzotsheba..pls laydown the law before we begin excavation..just like old Gauteng when they discovered gold in 1886..no freedom of movement, only the area where the item of value was discovered must benefit via royalties and other endowments
Really Mantashe....you are a challenged individual being played by some Russian and they will burn you. Let Mantashe tell us how SA will benefit from Shell proposition.
What utter bullshit!!!! VoetsekANC
Sounds Ike self interest enrichment to me ?
1 day our grand kids will said we can't drink or eat gas or oil we need real food planted in African soil. 🤔🤔
Figures!!🙄
He literally knows nothing about the topic in question,yet he attempts to speak with conviction. Opitomy of arrogance combined with ignorance
A threat to his pocket he means.😤
Is he even aware of the ramifications of these seismic activities?
Job creation? Like all the foreign owned and run solar farms in the Northern Cape?
