Despite its energy challenges, SA still has a lot to offer investors, said US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.Investments will play a critical role in creating clean power and quality jobs.US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has described load shedding as a"considerable challenge" for doing business in South Africa, but said there are still solid fundamentals which are supportive of investment.
Yellen, who has had first-hand experience of load shedding during her trip to South Africa this week, spoke to media following a tour of the Nkangala TVET college - a US-funded job training facility in Emalahleni that is providing skills to local women to prepare them to work in the renewable energy sector.
"The investments that our governments and the private sector are making in renewable energy will play a critical role in creating good paying jobs and reliable sources of clean energy that will power South Africa's economic growth," she said. Having met with President Cyril Ramaphosa and Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe during her SA visit, Yellen said the US is trying to support SA's plans, which it has devised itself and involve a gradual transition and a recognition that affected communities need to be supported.
