‘Who will feed my children if these powerships chase the fish away?’
Something fishy? Opponents of the Karpowership projects are concerned that not many coastal communities have been consulted

Last week, the environmental consultants for Karpowership, a subsidiary of Turkey’s Karadeniz Energy Group, which is seeking environmental approval to moor five floating gas-to-power ships at the ports of Saldanha Bay, Richards Bay and Ngqura, gave the projects the green light.

“We are nothing. We are absolute zero.” This was the passionate statement from Carmelita Mostert of Saldanha Coastal Links – a community organisation established as a vehicle for small-scale fishers to secure their livelihoods and overall human rights – after hearing that the Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) Barbara Creecy has been sent Triplo4’s final environmental impact assessment (EIA) report regarding Karpowerships. The report recommends that the project go ahead subject to several mitigation measures, however the mitigation measures are not mentioned.
Minister Creecy now has eight weeks to decide whether the project goes ahead or not. “I am exceptionally frustrated and saddened that our pleas have fallen on deaf ears,” says Mostert. “Especially since we had a ....

Proposed drilling 'a rights issue'


05 April 2021 06:07
Small-scale fishing communities say they have no reason to celebrate Human Rights Month because they feel their rights have been violated and cast aside by government over the years – a situation made worse by government’s proposed oil and gas priorities
The Green Connection, an NGO working with marginalised communities believes that though Human Rights Month may be over, the fight to be treated with dignity in South Africa continues.
As part of Human Rights Month, small-scale fishing communities gathered all the way from KwaZulu-Natal to the Eastern, Western and Northern Cape, in an effort to create awareness of the ongoing threat to the ocean from oil and gas drilling and exploration. ....
