( E A R T H L I F E A F R I C A D I R E C T O R ) But, thankfully, it is not all doom-and-gloom. From Dear Earthlife Community, an inspired Women’s Month event to our ongoing and very well-received Digital Storytelling It has been more than five months of lockdown in Workshop for Grassroots Activists, Earthlife Africa South Africa and it has become increasingly evident has been staying in touch with our communities, that we need to be more vigilant than ever, acting one Zoom Meeting/Webinar at a time. And, in the as watchdogs over government, calling out any run-up to International Self-Care Day, the Earthlife abuses of power and corruption we find. It is team also shared some of their top self-care tips – unfortunate, but the urgency for an active citizenry because you know we need to take care of is as pronounced as it was during the time of the ourselves even as we continue our fight for justice. apartheid regime. Love and respect! In Lephalale Limpopo, the situation is deteriorating, ML with many of our fellow South Africans dying as a result of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations decreasing the air quality for these communities. In addition to this, Nersa’s loss to Eskom in court, delivered a huge blow to citizens, who will ultimately pay more for their electricity – at a time when supply (as a result of the ongoing and worsening loadshedding) is at its most unreliable. polluting the air as it has for decades – all the while, "SPARE A THOUGHT FOR the situation for communities continue to LEPHALALE - WE CAN’T deteriorate. DEAL WITH MORE POLLUTION FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS" According to its loan agreement with the World Bank, Eskom promised to install FGDs, used to decrease sulphur dioxide (SO2) from exhaust flue B Y E L A N A G R E Y L I N G & T H A B O gases of fossil fuels, thereby reducing SO2 S I B E K O emissions in the air. At this stage the two power station emits three times as much as the whole of Beautiful Lephalale, also known as the heart of the Britain. Bushveld, can be deceiving. As a result of two Eskom’s biggest coal fired power stations, Matimba But, not only is Eskom NOT keeping their word and the new Medupi, air pollution and water (FGDs will not be installed until 2030), it is now also scarcity are huge issues for the communities in applying for permission NOT to keep to the law these areas. regarding minimum emissions (MES). In other words, Eskom wants permission to break the law Air pollution continues to be a huge point of and pollute the air more than the minimum contention. Not only has Eskom backtracked on its standards of the law prescribe. This means in effect commitment to install flue-gas desulfurization that Eskom will have the right to pollute more and (FGD) technology, but the failed state-owned utility for longer than the law states and also more than is now also applying for permission to continue its agreement with the World Bank required. Furthermore, Earthlife Africa has requested help from the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) to try to confirm the validity of the licenses for Lephalale Coal mine (an open-pit coal mine in the first stages of construction). And while all this is happening, South Africans who have the misfortune of calling Lephalale and the surrounding areas their home, will continue to suffer. The people in these communities are very unhappy because they feel that they were not part of the consultation. Due to the lockdown and political interference from the local politicians, no information sessions were held. On top of this, the employment practices have been found to be very suspicious. Earthlife Africa’s Coal Campaign seeks to prevent the development of new coal-fired power stations, mines and associated coal infrastructure, including the early retirement of existing coal-fired power stations. It calls attention to large-scale industrial pollution and financing of coal projects, with the view to phase out coal and set South Africa on a low-carbon developmental path. MOVEMENTS IN ENERGY SECTOR: According to ELA’s Makoma Lekalakala, “The IMPLICATIONS FOR SOUTH communities we work with have made it clear that they want to be informed, so that they can be more AFRICANS involved, but are often left in the dark. How can people hold government accountable for its P R E S S R E L E A S E actions, if they do not know what it is doing?

This time the idea is to part of the conversations currently taking place. p u r s u e p r i v a t e l y f u n d e d , o w n e d a n d operated small modular reactors (SMR), which will be transferred to government, once fully paid. “These SMRs are problematic for a number of reasons. These are still a centralised form of energy that does not serve the wider energy needs of the country. We need a more decentralised approach. The viability of SMRs are also questionable. With regards to this initial phase of Requests for Information (RFI), more money will be spent, money that could better serve our communities who are under a lot of pressure, even though the country’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) makes no mention of new nuclear,” says Xhoma. Xhoma says that every few years the SA government attempts to re-introduce new nuclear to the country’s energy portfolio, and usually on the back of debilitating load shedding. However, they always seem to want to do without any meaningful public participation or education about all the risks. She says that communities are calling for more renewable energy, to move SA toward the just transition that could lead to widespread community empowerment, if implemented properly. According to ELA, before government wastes any further public funds, more meaningful public debate around all the issues relating to nuclear is needed. As the most expensive form of electricity, failed technology (having first-hand experience) – is this technology is steadily being abandoned anti-nuclear seen as counter-revolutionary, with worldwide, as a result of issues relating radioactive supporters of renewable energy are seen as waste, which up-to-now has no safe, permanent backward.

Environmentalism in South Africa: A Sociopolitical Perspective FARIEDA KHAN I. Introduction South Africa is a country that has undergone dramatic political changes in recent years, transforming itself from a racial autocracy to a democratic society in which discrimination on racial and other grounds is forbidden, and the principle of equality is enshrined in the Constitution. These political changes have been reflected in the envi- ronmental sector which, similarly, has transformed its wildlife-cen- tered, preservationist approach (appealing mainly to the affluent, white minority), to a holistic conservation ideology which incorporates social, economic, and political, as well as ecological, aspects. Nevertheless, despite the fact

    Dutch lessons on including climate impact assessments in South African environmental law SA LEROTHOLI orcid.org/0000-0003-3023-2331 Mini-dissertation accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Law in Environmental Law & Governance at the North-West University Supervisor: Prof M Barnard Graduation: May 2019 Student number: 29795877 ABSTRACT In pursuit of economic development, human kind has throughout the ages repeatedly and continuously interfered with nature. Historically, nature has been exploited without regard to the impacts of human activities on the environment. Owning to our new scientific insight and awareness of the necessity to protect the environment for the present and future generations, though, environmental management tools have now been advanced. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one of these. This regulatory technique exists in both international and national law. It was developed to assess the likely significant impacts of proposed activities and to investigate mitigation of propose alternatives to the activity under investigation. At the heart of the South African environmental management framework is environmental sustainability, as guaranteed by the Constitution. In regard to the achievement of sustainable development, the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) demands that EIA must be carried out any listed activities authorised and makes a list of relevant factors to be taken into consideration in decision-making. The EIA regulations put forward substantive and procedural requirements for EIA. However, despite the existence of such laudable attempts to prevent the further degradation of the environment, there is still no explicit requirement for climate change considerations to be included in EIAs. However, the ground-breaking judgement of Earthlife Africa Johannesburg v Minister of Environmental Affairs and Others held that climate change considerations must be addressed in EIA.
