Developed countries must help foot SA's energy transition bill - Mantashe

JOHANNESBURG - Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe says he supports South Africa's transition to renewable energy, provided that developed countries foot the bill.The minister's response follows president Cyril Ramaphosa's plan to seek US government funding for a multi-trillion-rand plan to transition to a zero-carbon economy.The energy minister says the loan is necessary.

“In respect of the $8.5 billion that were offered for us to transition. Our view is that that is too little for our transition, and number 2, that must talk to a programme of the country, not what is decided by developed countries and I agree with him there 100%."“If they want to help us transition they must give us the money. They have polluted the country, the world and we are paying the price for what is not our responsibility, our making. They must give us the money.

The minister maintains that the energy transition should not be at the expense of the livelihoods of people in coal mining communities.

Why ?

Rubbish. SA must use the qualified citizens and develop itself. Stop looking for handouts and bailouts.

No, they don't. Stop wasting money.

Must…?

Give a valid reason why honest and competent governments (if those do exist) should consider helping the ANC coverup its crimes? If South Africa had had a good government we would have been a rich country by now.

For what, to creep up the woke backsides that is destroying USA. Anything 'they' must help pay for, is corruption money, in big fat greedy, backsides that just embarrasses SA. Vote the dishonest scum out first, we don't need hand-outs.. Liars and thieves in suits, selling us out.

Greedy didn't like colonialists and WMC and now he states they must help? Voetsek you corrupt ANC cadre, go ask the Gupta family for the money you helped them steal.

Must?

PresidencyZA and South Africa has chosen to side with Russia and their violation of human rights. Maybe time to take our begging bowl to Russia.

We wouldn't need help with our bills if you'd STOP STEALING THE MONEY!!!

Interesting that the same government rejected Prof Vivian Alberts's solution with fotocell energy and 10 yrs later they dumped Prof vd Merwe's coralbed nuclear energy solution. Al of a sudden they are babies crying for help from the outside, but rejected our own solutions

😂🤣
