The propaganda over the search for gas in the Cape is not to be believed, writes RALPH KRALL by e-mail.
The authorities have lobbied every Tom, Dick and Harry to give their opinion about how good it will be for South Africa to allow firms like Shell to poison the delicate fauna and flora of the Karoo.
What is it that people don’t understand?
Just Google “fracking” and that will be enough to put the fear of God into every South African.
You don’t have to be a scientist like Prof Maarten De Wit to understand that this will be the point of no return.
I always wonder how much people are being paid to even suggest that fracking for gas is good for the people of the country when it means that the earth will be poisoned by toxins that will seep into the water table for hundreds of kilometres in all directions.
Companies like Shell say say fracking for gas is done better these days and more carefully.
What a load of balony. Poison is poison no matter how carefully they try disguise it or how much money they dangle in front of ignorant government officials.
