Despite stated plans to rebalance its energy mix, South Africa’s minister of mineral resources, Susan Shabangu, Tuesday, outlined coal’s importance to the country’s future.

“There can be no doubt of the critical role coal will continue to play in our country’s energy landscape – long into our nation’s future” said Shabangu at the inauguration of Sasol Mining’s first major replacement mine since starting operations over six decades ago.
