Protest against Shell oil exploration in pristine coastal area

Residents demonstrate against Royal Dutch Shell's plans to start seismic surveys to explore petroleum systems off the Wild Coast at Mzamba Beach in Sigidi on December 5 2021.South Africans took to their beaches on Sunday to protest against plans by Royal Dutch Shell to do seismic oil exploration they say will threaten marine wildlife such as whales, dolphins, seals and penguins on a pristine coastal stretch.

The high court on Friday struck down an application brought by environmentalists to stop the oil major exploring in the eastern seaboard's Wild Coast, rejecting as unproven their argument that it would cause"irreparable harm" to the marine environment, especially migrating hump-back whales. The Wild Coast is home of some of the country's most undisturbed wildlife refuges. Its stunning coastal wildernesses are also a major tourist draw."It's just absolutely horrendous that they are even considering this. Look around you," said demonstrator Kas Wilson, indicating an unspoilt stretch of beach."It's unacceptable and ... we will stop it."

It's a shame! We still need foreign companies to rescue us

Environmentalists 🤔🤐 angazi thinking of a RM fan now
