Africa, including South Africa, must be allowed to exploit its resources – Ramokgopa

Africa, including South Africa, had to be able to fulfil its developmental potential. So highlighted South African Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa in his keynote address on the first day of the Enlit Africa 2025 conference, being held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, on Tuesday. The continent had to be allowed to achieve the development it desired, he affirmed. Africa had to be able to fulfil its potential. Looking at Africa’s resources, these had to be exploited in a shared and mutually beneficial way. Africa had the resources; indeed, the continent was already a major producer of critical minerals. But the developed world had the money.
