Our lack of electrical power is a POLITICAL failure. It is singularly foolish to pretend this is merely a technical problem. If anything the current corrupt dispensation will birth an environmental problem in addition to the existing socio-political disaster that the ANC has foisted upon us. This is not just a matter of corruption and incompetence. Gwede is not even wrong! Placed in charge of such an endeavor, he will endanger something far greater than the economy. The ANC has adopted the Stalinist approach (adopted by Mao) of "better red than expert". Gwede is employed as a political tool in support of Cyril. He only knows breaking things. This is fine if one wants to destroy a state (Apartheid or otherwise), but it is the opposite of what is required in building a state. His is a mindset of destroying initiative, in a country that desperately needs productive ideas.
South Africa's coal reserves are estimated at 53 billion tonnes and with our present production rate there should be almost 200 years of coal supply left. WE HAVE AN ANC PROBLEM! NOT A RESOURCES PROBLEM. If our country was under an honest, skilled government the people would all be RICH!
Very insightful. She was also very conservative and this is what you expect from a properly informed person. Lets let ideology be put aside and lets revive this economy - this is the time. South Africa needs this gas.
Very insightful, with practical and factual examples and proof. This lady is good. good to have someone like this at the helm of this organisation. Rob Hers please work with this lady and lets get moving on our resources. Lets grow the economy now.
And often the abuse of the court system to stall SA energy projects is done by foreign-funded environmental NGOs used as proxies to delay development by their governments. The less development the easier the extraction of resources on the cheap for foreign developed economies.
Really? We must trust the government and PASA to ensure that no pollution of ground water will happen? The areas will be rehabilitated after the process? The people in the Karoo rely on ground water almost solely. Once its polluted...what then... As they say better to ask for forgiveness than for permission? We shall woe the day we approve this fracking in the Karoo...no matter what is said...most are lies. I am amazed that buznewsTV...is even entertaining this.
I am not an EFF supporter but This why the state should own land and all resources in it . Its because of privilleged people like you who will do anything to block development
Alec, I don't want to lie, but we going backwards honestly. This government doesn't give a hood about its people. Enough is Enough. We need that Gas ⛽ ASAP.
Rob Hershaw was in my view 100% correct (Sure there are some complications). In uncle Cyrils first state of the nation speach he spent a lot of time talking about the vast amount of Gas offshore near Sedgefield and close to Mosselbay. He got accussed of dreaming and went silent on this topic. FFS, this is what we need. Just look around us, Angola, (Namibia going that route) Mozambique are all going that route and we are sucking the hind you know what. Re Fraking, do we want jobs or do we need more sheep in the Karoo? Jobs, Natural gas booming economy are there for the taking and because of a handfull of greenies we hold back and suffer. We have all the skills and people able to do this, but if Government spend our tax money to try, it will die as have all the other state entities they manage under BBBEEEEEEEE (Not sure how many more B and E's there are) i.e Eskom, Telkom, Postoffice, SANRAIL, SAA and and and. Who wants to Invest hard earned money in something run by the Government. Let the rich invest and save the poor. Remember, nowhere has it been proven that by killing the wealthy, will benefit the poor. 7% of tax payers funding this country. That figure could well grow to 20%++ and more and very quickly, up the unemployment rate, up the tax box, up the services etc.... JUST DO IT CYRIL, small government controls with big business initiatives is the only way to save South Africa going forward. Lots more can be said on this, but bottom line are the Greenies who doing the big state capture. Look at the Amazon debarcle, that could have been up and running long ago. Millions of hecters of grazing sheep fields in the Karoo wasted. Eish shame on us. Now the Germans wanting to open coal operations again thanks to Ukraine war. Just provesd when the Greenies chips are down they suddenly want to revert back to proven methods. Government must support business, remove restrictions and allow the best person for the job to not feel thrersatend because of his/her colour. Todays generation is being penalised for previous generations failures. We chasing our children away with BEE. In 10 years Mr Mantashe, You me a Cyril will most probably be dead or at best old and senile. Let the next genraion take the controlling lead and Mr Mandelas dream will be fulfilled. South Africans dont need the west, we need the best and weve got it now. EFF want contro the Mugabe way for the few at the expense of the poor and look at Zimbabwe today. Dont let us go this way please. Open your eyes, surround yourself with the successfull brains still there but old before its too let and the drains happened. You and Cyril can have a legacy og successfull non hatred mending the country or go down in the history boooks as failures just like the those before you. Jail the crooked, get them to pay back the money and fund/support private enterprise to invest and you will still see the change in your day. Thanks Alec for the information you brought up. Its natural that a Karoo farmers Lawyer will take the stance he has in this video. Too mch talk and too little action stops progress. Drill a few holes and lets see. Farmers should be supporting the risk before the communists take the farms later and do it fgor the elite. Mr Little is a lawyer respresenting farmers on this platform against Mr Hershaw. That natural, but hes no expert making statements like "I dont know, but Robs wrong" WTF.
Interesting...Will landowners, communities, towns have any legal recourse if their ground water is polluted by fracking? Following on - How is water quality rehabilitation carried out?
👏👏👏👏 excellent interview 👌 now let's get on with it. Where water in the Karoo is concerned, worst case would be that those abundant gas resources can be applied to intense desalination plants just like in the Arabian gulf. It's a win win 👍
Thank you. All for fracking, all against it having cANCer and the cadres involved. We need to wait until they are gone before we utilize this specific natural resource.
Always interesting to me. The people who will not suffer consequences of experiments gone wrong are keenest to do the experiments. Soekor was desperate for energy. Why we got Mossgas that only made sense within history of that period. Why would they ignore all these reserves that is claimed to be there?
SO legal requirements i.e. roadblocks/Light are going to stop us from accessing resources that could help tens of millions of us against the stage 6 Loadshedding......that sounds evil.
You missed the opportunity to ask her about the existing geological data and studies as done by Soekor. If there was anything viable they would have developed it.
Rob great program, thank you. On the subject of Rob Hersov, he never left his billion Dollar bussiness to come to SA and be trapped by a typical greeny approach. Rob you carry-on knocking down the greenness thats arguments are feeble bullshit. Rob your passion to knock these green hooligans is very needed now.
The resources belong to all South Africans and the ANC Government gets to manage these resources on our behalf ? 😳. Oh dear God ! Cry my beloved country.
It is very interesting how the Energy Companies create organizations, financially support them but at the same time seems to be the Champion of the People, so if they take the side of the Energy Companies we just go with them because if they say it is OK, then it must be. It reminds me of the person who opens 2 Fish & Chips Shops in the same town, because he is hedging his own bet, i.e. He creates his own opposition before somebody else does it.
How exactly will we benefit? SASOL has not brought down the cost of fuel, and we pay SASOL even more if the international fuel price drops. The price will be exactly the same maybe even more then the international price. The employment will be nowhere what they say with next to no local jobs, because the people do not have the skill. Ground water and food security will be decimated. There are already problems with lack of water. Easy for the rich and those in government to walk away once things go south. Fix what you broke or keep your hands off something that works.
he says she says he denies she denies.. talk is cheap... exploration is expensive.. We will only know if we do a Renergen and get tons of investors to risk their cash...
This obsession with growth and progress has brought us to where we are.. is this just more of the same, or am I deaf dumb and blind. I wonder if you guys have read the comments on the last video. 🤔
Dr Masangane's explanations are fluid, factual and friendly. In stead of lamenting the politicos, lets make sure that when the tide turns, we have our ducks in a row to secure our energy independence in an environmentally responsible and socio-economic win-win way.
SA is blessed with so much talent that we forget exists. With Dr Masangane in the driver's seat here, we can be confident of progress - and the equitable exploitation of this massive national asset.
this is where land expropriation bill must come in. These guys from the Karoo dont want the country to access the gas. They need a kick in the back to motivate them.

Who checks the checker.
And when you contaminate an aquifer it is contaminated forever Dr Masangane

Why we got Mossgas that only made sense within history of that period. Why would they ignore all these reserves that is claimed to be there?
They ignored them because fracking technology wasn't in existence then orcas advanced as it is now.
@@voscowbinder9458 Yet the gas for Mossgas came from undersea fracking.
SO legal requirements i.e. roadblocks/Light are going to stop us from accessing resources that could help tens of millions of us against the stage 6 Loadshedding......that sounds evil.
You missed the opportunity to ask her about the existing geological data and studies as done by Soekor. If there was anything viable they would have developed it.
Brilliant interview that highlights the opportunity RSA has but is instead being held to ransom by current has producers
Brilliant interview so insightful thank you both for some positive news this evening
Rob great program, thank you.
On the subject of Rob Hersov, he never left his billion Dollar bussiness to come to SA and be trapped by a typical greeny approach. Rob you carry-on knocking down the greenness thats arguments are feeble bullshit.
Rob your passion to knock these green hooligans is very needed now.
Mr Light is protecting his home town.
The resources belong to all South Africans and the ANC Government gets to manage these resources on our behalf ? 😳. Oh dear God ! Cry my beloved country.
There won’t be ANC after 2024. So please stop complaining and do something to make sure they get less than 45% in 2024. It’s our country.
Brilliant explanation by Dr.Phindile Masangane. Only problem is who trusts Gwede Mantashe with this ?
It is very interesting how the Energy Companies create organizations, financially support them but at the same time seems to be the Champion of the People, so if they take the side of the Energy Companies we just go with them because if they say it is OK, then it must be. It reminds me of the person who opens 2 Fish & Chips Shops in the same town, because he is hedging his own bet, i.e. He creates his own opposition before somebody else does it.
This is a balanced view with a process to jump through all the hoops. This way it can be achieved. This I can agree to.
Where's that naargatte from the last interview who insulted Rob and Gayton? Bekkies is tjoep stil nou neh...
Thank you Dr but our leaders will help them self if South Africans don't wake up
A very interesting and informative discussion from someone really at the coal face, thank you.
Good interview Alec, starting to get some scientific information, but I do love Rob attitude to get moving.
No one in SA will benefit from this except the tender winner and the ruling elite.
Scientists vs Greenies vs politicians vs joblessness vs social unrest vs courts !! Whew !! ...the future looks bleak 🤧🤢🤮
How exactly will we benefit? SASOL has not brought down the cost of fuel, and we pay SASOL even more if the international fuel price drops.

I wonder if we would be having this problem if land owners mineral rights were not taken away. Not only gas but all minerals.
What a smart lady. She gives us hope but please don’t allow the govt to take over. It must be left to private companies to exploit the gas. 29:21
How do I invest in the works of the Oil and Gas industry?
he says she says he denies she denies.. talk is cheap... exploration is expensive.. We will only know if we do a Renergen and get tons of investors to risk their cash...
Good to have a discussion based on a scientific approach and not emotive views. Wish there were more sources willing to be transparent in this regard.
WOW! Thoroughly impressed by Dr Masangane. She set the record straight without emotion. She knows her shit! She gave me hope! Loved this!
Thank you Alec...Now that we have confirmation, it's time we get to work. Let the exploration begin🍻
Brilliant! Absolutely fantastic! Love this lady.
Thanks, Hersov was correct!!!
This obsession with growth and progress has brought us to where we are.. is this just more of the same, or am I deaf dumb and blind. I wonder if you guys have read the comments on the last video. 🤔
What have we been doing for the last fourteen years ? promises, promises.

You see? now imagine if we had no land owners to deal with 🤷🏽♀️
Our ANC can't even use the billions of tonnes of coal to produce enough power.... We need new leadership!
this is where land expropriation bill must come in. These guys from the Karoo dont want the country to access the gas. They need a kick in the back to motivate them.
Expropriate the fucken land
Dr. Masangane explained it simply and lets start the drilling
Thank you for this information.
Exactly!
Best not to light a match in Russia!
Zimbabwe drilled, and they still have not found any oil and gas
Namibia drilled they got it
Mozambique drilled they got it…. Let me tell you from what i saw in my dreams but not only gas but we got so much oil you wont believe
An actual energy expert being given a platform...go figure...
