South Africa’s energy transition is expected to affect at least 100 000 jobs in the mining sector, as well as communities that thrive off the coal mining industry – particularly those communities in Mpumalanga’s coal belt, where at least 80% of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations are located.
The minister said government will not leave any community or industry behind as the country gradually transitions from a high-carbon-emitting country to a low carbon emissions economy. The minister said the transition will open new pathways for South Africans in the economy, but the expected changes must be accompanied with meaningful consultations with communities and civil society.
The minister explained the energy transition is necessitated by government’s commitment to an international call to take action as the world faces the devastating effects of carbon emissions.
