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.
