South Africa’s energy crossroads

In his latest After the Bell column, Stephen Grootes captures a feeling many of us share: being assailed by headlines about distant conflicts that have a direct, painful impact on our pockets. As the Iran-Israel crisis roils global markets, South Africans are left watching the fuel price ticker with a sense of helplessness.

If you had the power to decide SA’s energy strategy today, what would you prioritise?

  • :shovel: Drill for our own oil/gas to ensure energy independence.
  • :battery: Shift to renewables and EVs to break the fossil fuel cycle.
  • :construction_worker: Use domestic gas temporarily while building green infra.
  • :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed: I don’t care about the source, just the cost and stability.
