Policy uncertainty over nuclear build partly led to Necsa crisis, MPs told

Policy uncertainty over South Africa’s nuclear build programme contributed to the crisis the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) and its entities currently finds itself in, MPs heard on Tuesday. The board of Necsa and its entities were briefing Parliament’s energy portfolio committee about the state-owned company which faces uncertainty after the Auditor General last week alerted MPs to the fact that Necsa’s ability to keep operating is in question after it received a negative audit opinion in 2017/18, a mere year after it received a clean audit.
