FAWU welcomes Operation Phakisa initiative
Loyiso Langeni
The Food and Allied and Workers Union on
Friday has welcomed the initiative on Operation Phakisa, as launched by
President Jacob Zuma to drill at least
30 deep-water oil and gas exploration wells, within the next 10 years as part
of a multibillion-rand long-term plan to exploit offshore fossil fuels along
the country’s 3 000km coastline.
Fawu General Secretary Katishi Masemola
said this initiative is not welcomed but must be expedited if a dent to
unemployment and poverty is delivered.
Its worth noting that most of our energy is
important and therefore having our own sources of energy can only be a class
for the country, that is why we are in full support. Masemola
This and other initiative are not only
welcomed but must be accelerated, if a dent to unemployment and poverty is to
be delivered.
