The Director of Public Prosecutions in Pretoria has declined to prosecute environmental consultants who helped Karpowership SA bypass environmental regulations.
A case was opened in May 2021 by the Environmental Management Inspectorate , which investigates environmental crimes. It relates to Karpowership's 2020 attempt to bypass the complex process of obtaining environmental permits. Instead, consultants from Triplo4 Sustainable Solutions argued that Karpowership should be granted an exemption because its powerships would provide emergency power to hospitals, which would keep ventilators running during load shedding and those infected with Covid-19 alive.
"When the company had initially submitted their request, it had indicated that the country's electricity supply was under threat because of the increased pressure on the healthcare system as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
AmaBhungane asked the NPA for feedback in January, April and August last year, and was repeatedly told that no decision had been taken. However, when we approached the NPA this week, spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana told us that the NPA had declined to prosecute the case back in April last year.
2iConnect amaBhungane 'The decision not to prosecute appears to have caught the DFFE off-guard.' Something is wrong. Maybe the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment should ito ss179(5)(d) of the Constitution, 1886 request the NDPP to review the decision not to prosecute. BarbaraCreecy_
