Gauteng Civil Society marches for Nuclear–free South Africa

Thousands of people from civil society groups across Gauteng today took part in a march to protest against South Africa’s nuclear expansion plans.  The activists marched from Pieter Roos Park to Beyers Naude Square, where they handed over a memorandum to the Presidency. Smaller protests and placard demonstrations happened simultaneously in Durban, Cape Town and Bantamsklip.


No nuclear and no coal? What’s the answer then?

The scenario is a roadmap for cutting carbon, firing-up job creation, and keeping the lights on – without resorting to coal and nuclear power.
