Archbishop Thabo Makgoba has appealed to the South African
government to scrap plans for developing nuclear energy and
instead to spend the money on education, training and other
development initiatives.
The
archbishop said in a statement issued from the church's Synod
of Bishops today:
“The
Synod of Bishops has revisited the resolution adopted by the
church's Provincial Synod last September, in which the church
expressed its opposition to the expansion of nuclear energy
and urged the government to pursue the path of renewable
energy initiatives.
