Oil discovered in South Africa

This video explores the oil and gas discoveries in South Africa. TotalEnergies previously discovered two huge gas fields off the South African coast in 2019 and 2020. Its current area of interest covers 10,000km and is located between Cape Town and Cape Agulhas, in water depths between 700 metres and 3,200 metres and Kinetiko Energy, an Australian gas company also discovered gas in the Mpumalanga province. We explore how South Africa plans to balance unemployment, just energy transition, load shedding, and economic prospects of this discovery.

Ahh. More for the ANC to sell to other countries while we continue to pay more for fuel. There goes what fish we still have.

Hope they develop local companies. Not getting looted by outsiders

[AngeloXification]

This is major bad news if the ANC stays in power

South African journalism at its best. World class stuff dude. Factual. Visual. Clear, concise English. I dare you not to keep going.

I don't understand why South Africa chose to receive only 20% of the proceeds from their own oil. Shell should actually come and mine this oil for a fee and get remunerated for that if they are interested, but we should keep our oil and do what we please with it.

Shell should go and mine it's own oil in France and keep it.

Wonderful news, however, who will benefit, the common peoples of South Africa, or the corrupt ANC thieves and Shell.

The ANC will pocket all that revenue and the country wont see a cent

Ohhh sheeeet... someone said OIL??? you know who's coming(back)!!! (The Western imperial colonialists USA, UK, France, etc)

When I went to Mossel Bay in 1984, I saw the oil drilling rig being assembled.
Later, the media gave us news of oil was found.

Oooowwe the gravy train just got bigger.

[alfskea]

Jo ! More to steal 😂 I sure they are gleefully rubbing their hands together!

[theboomletgroup]

South Africa is one of the most under-Mined countries in the world statistically. These finds dont actually surprise 😍😍🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️💪🏾💪🏾🇿🇦

[MariaTrollip]

Im 60 now and I was 6 when I lived with my grandparents in mosselbay. There was already a oil drill when we arrived there

[Veryberry-ew]

Patiently waiting to see how the ANC is going to enrich themselves this time around

[peterlbaldwin]

Amazing..!! To think that South Africa, for more or less the last century, has desperately sought the treasured "Black Gold", vital to run a modern economy, without success. The nearest they came in the past was with the "Oil from Coal" plants at Sasolburg I believe, although nowhere near enough to make the country self sufficient. Now, with the advances of modern technology, the longed for valued resource has been discovered in seemingly viable quantities. Let us just pray that the resources Are genuinely used to better the lot of everyday South Africans and not squandered or spirited away into offshore bank accounts by corrupt politicians..!!!

Well narrated and great visual story telling thank you to the team and Mr. Lepota

[crispinswainstonharrison]

It’s good for all to understand that the biggest exporter of oil in the world is Venezuela. One of the poorest countries in the world.

[SimpliCityCampLife]

Ha, now the cANCer can enrich themselves even more😂

[percyradebe]

Well done brother for clearly explaining the concepts and your visual skills are impeccable. 👏
