The South African United National Anti-nuclear
Mobilisation Initiative said the decisions around a nuclear build programme are
not the right move.
TSUNAMI Spokesperson Muna Lakhani said not only is nuclear
the most expensive energy option it is also dangerous.
Lakhani added that the rollout of renewable energy is
not only less expensive than nuclear but can also produce industrial volumes of
electricity.
“Civil society in South
Africa is very concerned about the future
of our country and are in support of the national union of mineworkers and of
Cosatu in raising the turns around plans by government to continue its plan for
Nuclear fleet for sacking in our country.
We think both is a poor idea, both in cost as well as
in generating decent work for our people. We would like to support Cosatu and
NUM and call upon our government to move away from this unsustainable
programme.” Likhani added.
