Slowly, slowly with those nukes, Big Brother.

The government is in a mad dash to cover South Africa with nuclear-powered electricity plants at the same time as the nuclear industry is fostering a PR campaign to greenwash the technology.

Nuclear plants are dangerous. That's why we have laws to regulate them.

The government must immediately comply with the letter and spirit of these laws and allow public participation in choices that could poison us for tens of thousands of years.

With all due respect to faceless engineers and bureaucrats, nothing man builds can ever be declared 100percent failsafe and the potential victims should be allowed to assess the risk.
