Ahead of the global climate strike organised by the Climate Justice Coalition (CJC) this week, a demonstration was held on Wednesday outside the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy’s (DMRE) Cape Town offices.

A crime scene demonstration organised by Extinction Rebellion Cape Town in front of the Western Cape DMRE offices with activists playing dead representing the various issues the DMRE is creating by its continued support for fossil fuels.

350.org South African team leader Glen Tyler-Davies said: “We need to remove DMRE Minister Gwede Mantashe, he has been blocking renewable energy by trying to push fossil fuels when they have already shown to be socially, economically and environmentally unjust. We want to make sure Mantashe is out of the way so that a new and transformed DMRE can come about.
