"As a matter of principle, you will not go down a path that is going to rein in the current consumer," SA Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa explained, answering a question from Sputnik Africa, ignoring that "safety issues" are also important. 📈 Referring to the lessons learned from previous projects such as the Koeberg nuclear power station, David Nicholls, chairman of the Nuclear Energy Corporation of SA, emphasized that "this is a long-term business, and security breeds security".
