and sustainable means of production, while protecting the socioeconomic rights and livelihoods of those in the labour sector who will be affected by the transition which involves job losses,” the EFF said.The EFF said Ramaphosa is throwing South Africa into massive debt by pleading for concessionary loans in order to “create unemployment and collapse our economy.”
“It is an objective fact that over 80% of South Africa’s electricity generation is dependent on coal, while there are numerous avenues of clean coal energy generation methods that South Africa could explore.” “The decommissioning of coal power stations in South Africa is illogical and premature. It is illogical because billions have been spent on building the Kusile and Medupi power stations for years, yet now they will not be used, and it is premature because South Africa is not ready in terms of renewable energy alternatives,” the party said.The EFF added that renewable energy as the primary source of energy is “an experiment.
“That experiment must begin in the West which has damaged the climate for centuries, not in Africa. The EFF wants to assure the United Kingdom, France, the United States of America and the rest of the hypocrites of the West, that their puppet Ramaphosa will not have the power to implement their nonsensical resolutions.
The EFF said South Africa should adopt a comprehensive energy policy and partnerships which must necessarily consider options of clean coal technologies, partnerships for nuclear and maximal usage of hydrogen, including through usage of power ships.
