Activists, residents oppose EC nuclear plant

The Kouga Municipality in the Eastern Cape says its current infrastructure will be unable to accommodate the thousands of people expected during the construction of Eskom's proposed 5200 MW nuclear plant at Thyspunt between Oyster Bay and St Francis Bay.

An environmental justice organisation, Earthlife Africa, joined communities, environmental groups and heritage advocates, amongst others, to voice their concerns over the proposed plant.

These range from a threat to livelihoods, to risks to cultural heritage and sensitive ecosystems.
