AfriForum, TKAG win appeal to set aside petroleum exploration, production regulations

AfriForum and the Treasure the Karoo Action Group (TKAG) have succeeded in their appeal to have Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, and Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy set aside the regulations on petroleum exploration and production. The regulations were promulgated in 2015 and allow for fracking to proceed in South Africa.
