An appeal by South Africa’s government on a High Court ruling that it act against air pollution caused by Eskom and Sasol will be heard on Monday. The so-called Deadly Air case, brought to court in 2019 by groundWork, an environmental-rights organisation, and Vukani Environmental Justice Movement in Action was seen as a key test of the government’s resolve to deal with some of the world’s worst air pollution.
“The order breaches the separation of powers.” The Highveld Priority Area, is a key industrial zone which includes much of northeastern Mpumalanga province and part of the central Gauteng region. It’s the site of most of Eskom’s fleet of 14 coal-fired power plants and a petrochemical complex owned by Sasol. A Greenpeace study conducted in 2018 showed Mpumalanga had the worst nitrogen-dioxide emissions from power plants of any area globally.
