An appeal by SA’s government on a High Court ruling that it act against air pollution caused by Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. and Sasol Ltd. will be heard on Monday.
High Court Judge Colleen Collis in March last year said that Barbara Creecy, the environment minister, had a legal obligation to prescribe rules to implement and enforce anti-pollution regulations and had unreasonably delayed in doing so. 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.
Together Eskom and Sasol emit more than half of SA’s greenhouse gases. The country is the 14th biggest source of the climate-warning emissions, according to Global Carbon Atlas. Eskom produces more than 80% of SA’s power from coal-fired plants.
