Mantashe says SA must not ‘walk away from coal’ as Greenpeace disrupts his Indaba speech

Greenpeace Africa last week disrupted Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe’s opening speech at the Africa Energy Indaba in Cape Town by staging a silent protest in front of the podium. Five protestors held up yellow placards that declared ‘Coal = Corruption’, ‘Coal = Loadshedding’ and ‘Gwede Stop Blocking Renewables’.
