"Nationalize All Oil Discoveries", says Angry Julius Malema in SA Parliament by TMKsouth: 1:01pm On Feb 07, 2019 |
Last week, the French oil and gas company Total announced a significant gas condensate discovery off the coast of Cape Town. The gas is expected to offer some much-needed relief to South Africa’s economy. But it's an oil discovery that South Africa most wants. While the extent of the oil discovery in the Western Cape has not yet been made public, Total has hinted that the signs were positive for a major discovery of 1 to 3 billion barrels. President Cyril Ramaphosa says it's a "Game-Changer" "This could well be a game-changer for our country and will have significant consequences for our country’s energy security and the development of this industry." Julius Malema slams discovery (12 February 2019) However, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has called for the nationalisation of oil and gas discoveries in South Africa. Malema was speaking during a parliamentary debate on Tuesday, where he commented that the president neglected to explain that 90% of the oil and gas discovery would benefit foreign companies. "If you (Ramaphosa) continue with indecisiveness of natural resources, the oil and gas will be a curse to our nation like it is in other African countries "We demand all oil and gas discoveries must be nationalised," Malema said. "Oil and gas must be declared a national asset". Minister in the Presidency responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma also commented on the discovery and proposed that the profits be channeled to a catalytic sovereign fund, for the current and future generations to benefit from the country's "finite resources". South Africa currently imports most of its oil from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Angola 4 Likes 2 Shares

ranch2000: SAs been dealing with mineral wealth for decades, can't see why oil will be any different. Also seems Ghana and Kenya are handling their wealth well - no massive scandals yet & Economies growing at 5%+. Other oil markets seem a bit messy. 4 Likes |

President Cyril Ramaphosa Last night I received a call from Minister Gwede Mantashe when he told me that the oil giant Total would be making a big announcement today about a new “world-class” oil and gas discovery off the coast of South Africa. We are extremely encouraged by the report this morning about the Brulpadda block in the Outeniqua Basin, which some have described as a catalytic find. This could well be a game-changer for our country and will have significant consequences for our country’s energy security and the development of this industry. We congratulate Total and its various partners and wish them well in their endeavours. Government will continue to develop legislation for the sector so that it is properly regulated for the interests of all concerned. 3 Likes |
