Energy department reviewing court ruling on nuclear deals─── 08:45 Thu, 27 Apr 2017
Cape Town - The Energy Department is reviewing the Western Cape High Court's decision to set aside South Africa’s nuclear deals with Russia, and other countries after it's ruled them unlawful and unconstitutional.
eNCA reports that Earthlife Africa, and the Southern African Faith Communities Environment Institute, asked the court to review the deals.
They argued former Energy Minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, failed to follow due process before she signed them.
The court agreed, finding proper parliamentary procedure had been flouted in the deal reportedly worth over R1 trillion.
Civil society groups have hailed the judgment a victory against corruption.
