Show notes

This week, Michael Avery was joined by Niall Kramer, the newly appointed national spokesperson for the Offshore Petroleum Association of South Africa (OPASA), to unpack the country’s high-stakes push for offshore oil and gas exploration - a move hailed by some as a pathway to jobs and energy security, and criticised by others as a step backwards for climate action. They explored what’s driving the renewed interest in offshore drilling, the potential economic upside, and the environmental and legal challenges that sit at the heart of the debate.
