Two leading environmental organisations, Earthlife Africa (ELA) and the Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI), say government must respect the rules and commit to following the timeframes, after the state once again failed to submit answering affidavits in the court case regarding its nuclear energy agreement with Russia.
 
The two organisations argue that Energy Minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, acted unconstitutionally in not submitting the government’s nuclear deal with Russia to Parliament.
 
In their affidavit, they claim that legal documents indicate that South Africa did sign a nuclear deal with Russia.
