Description

As the science-backed calls for the end of fossil fuel grow louder, energy companies are scrambling for raw materials across the African continent, and South Africa’s coastlines haven’t been spared. Social justice reporter and RLS climate justice fellow Lerato Mutsila speaks to me, Onke Ngcuka, about the activity that Total has been conducting on the shores of the country. Mutsila not only touches on the seismic surveying in the oceans, but also delves deeper into the ripple effect that the drilling has on community, culture and socio-economic status of those living in and around the affected areas.
