Mining Weekly

The South African people must no longer tolerate national slowness that keeps us out of the benefits of global trends. South Africa began in green hydrogen more than a decade ago but is now falling behind the rest of the world. The country is very well placed with superior sun, prime wind, the required land and infrastructure to advance ahead of most, and the country must not allow anyone to slow us down. A similar situation exists with South Africa’s exploration potential. A transparent cadastre must not be cited as something that can slow down crucial mineral exploration in South Africa because other exploration countries buy cadastres off the shelf. Lame excuses must be exposed for what they are by South Africa Incorporated and those making them must be replaced by individuals willing and able to advance the country into positions that create wealth and jobs. Hydrogen and exploration have far-reaching benefits for the South African people and fast progress is a must.
