Russia-South Africa nuclear deal: DA demands answers .
[Africa Report] South Africa's opposition, the Democratic Alliance (DA), says a recent nuclear deal between Russia and the African nation must be opposed to "the bitter end".Zille 'n bitter einder ? DA leader, Hellen Zille says the nuclear co-operation deal between the two countries - announced by Russian energy company, Rosatom - was a political rather than an economic one and must be fought. Early this week Rosatom announced a multi billion rand deal to supple South Africa with nuclear reactors. Addressing a press conference in Cape Town Zille said: "We must stop this corrupt undercover agreement that will be disastrous for SA". Zille described the Russia nuclear deal is a "mega arms deal in the making" and that her opposition to it was a "fight that must be taken on if we are to prevent future generations footing the estimated R1 trillion bill for a deal ten times the size of the arms deal". Ag the irony. But Hellen my dear, I thought the only bitter einders were Boers. Enjoy your chickens home to roost. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-09-28 |
