The claim
US$8.8-billion climate finance pact is responsible for the recurrent power outages in South Africa
Rating
Fikile Mbalula’s claim linking the closure of coal-fired plants to the current load shedding in South Africa is not supported by the facts. The power crisis in South Africa is a result of various factors, and the transition from coal, while a contributing factor, is not the sole cause of the current load shedding.
