No to oil and gas exploration
Many corporations such as Shell, SASOL, Eni and Total Energies are flocking to the South African coastline to explore for oil and gas.
The South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) along with activists from the KZN coastline picketed against TotalEnergies Oil and Gas Exploration recently.
Civil society and fisherfolks expressed their shock and horror after Fisheries, Forestry and Environmental Affairs Minister Barbara Creecy gave permission for TotalEnergies to sink holes in the sea between Cape Town and Cape Agulhas as part of a search for oil and gas.

The impacts of this are immense and affect not only the marine life but surfers, swimmers, traditional healers, ocean lovers and users and fisherfolk who rely on the ocean for their livelihoods
SDCEA stood in solidarity with subsistence fishers and small-scale fishers in coastal communities whose livelihoods are most at risk from the potential negative impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
Multi-location pickets were held at Cuttings beach, Amanzimtoti beach, Umgababa beach, Blue Lagoon and Kingway Total Garage to say no to oil and gas exploration, no to fossil fuels, no to fish kill and yes to clean healthy oceans.- Supplied
