Self-Destruction Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Reading the News; the State Capacity Research Project is an
academic research partnership between leading researchers
from four Universities in South Africa

'In 2014 Zuma made an arrangement with Putin for a deal in
which 8 nuclear reactors for power generation would be built
in South Africa. But he didn't mention it in his Government
Caucus or seek Parliamentary approval. Hence the Western
Cape high court has ruled it was unlawful.

Zuma acted outside his authority, he's not supposed to unila-
terally engender such schemes. The Russians are equally at
fault in thinking the arrangement was cut and dried because
it was ‘Presidentially Approved'.

Yet the Russian Nuclear deal, which will cost the tax payer and
make South Africa liable for all accidents when the reactors leave
Russian borders, is guaranteed to bring about escalating costs
until it will be impossible to finish installing it while the country
keeps on paying the debt for NOTHING in return except general
mayhem, just as fracking in the Karoo is going ahead - yet there
is no water and even worse - chaos is left in fracking's wake -
the Shadow State destroys just as the Congo was destroyed -
Africa will return to the hunter-gatherer state while criminals
will enjoy endless war…

The speech of a Russian lecturer and activist, Vladimir
Slivyak, about Russian nuclear reactors as a solution to
the South African crisis, was not encouraging.

Under the agreement, if anything goes wrong with the nuclear
reactors, Russia has ZERO% liability for the consequences.
And Russia has a track record for things going wrong with their
reactors. In the 6 decades USING nuclear to create energy,
there were several incidents. Chernobyl was the only one that
caused waves as it affected so many other countries, it could
not be hidden - 60% of the radioactive dust landed outside
Soviet territories. Even now Germany cannot hunt animals in
certain forests because of the contamination.

The state nuclear regulator, Rostekhnadzor, said 39 incidents
had occurred in 2013 - reasons: 'mismanagement, defects in
equipment and design errors'.

The South African build will cost R1-trillion and more & then
ENDLESS cost of LOOKING AFTER the nuclear waste.

There is enough evidence nuclear energy is a dying industry.
Most countries are looking towards sustainable energy sources,
& the only ‘new-build' reactors are happening in China & Belarus.
Even RUSSIA is REDUCING their nuclear energy quota.

In this dying industry there are too many unanswered questions
for South Africa to go down this path - but the world knows that
corruption is always present in the nuclear industry.
