Civil society points to procedural missteps in govt’s decision on exploration right for oil, gas

Non-profit organisation Natural Justice expressed optimism that the courts will see the flaws in government’s decision-making process on exploration rights for oil and gas and rule in favour of environmental justice. The Green Connection and Natural Justice have filed a supplementary founding affidavit, reinforcing their legal challenge against TotalEnergies EP South Africa (TEEPSA) and the government’s approval of exploratory oil and gas drilling in Block 5/6/7.
