Electricity issues a major constraint on investment – Mantashe

South Africa’s Mineral Resources and Energy Minister, Gwede Mantashe, has urged continued foreign investment into the country’s resources sector, saying that the government is actively working to address electricity issues, which have constrained economic growth. Speaking on the sidelines of Paydirt’s African Downunder conference, in Perth, Mantashe told Mining Weekly Online that until the question of electricity pricing in South Africa was sorted, economic growth would not be sustainable.
