Rich countries still rely on coal power stations.only those small countries with the population of 80 000 citizens can rely on solar energy
What are “rich countries”? Do these countries have names? Why does always adopt government determined language?
But South Africa's coal exports is up by 300% to 'rich countries' We have 300 years of coal to burn. Either we burn the stuff or the 'rich countries' will.
SA needs electricity now! This is just another excuse not to solve the current crisis!
Let it die! We are dying from this load shedding!
Asof hulle omgee
We dont need these loans Time for SA to say no to the climate scam and walk away from the lunatic West.
