Did I mention that southern Africa is feeling
the brunt of climate change? That storms are more intense, wind
stronger, and rain heavier here? I can only imagine what awaits those
of us in the "potential high impact zones" while plans are
created and designed, then Environmental Impact Assessments written,
submitted and responded to and then, eventually, implemented.
Moreover, today's South African government and local officials are getting a handle on just how neoliberalism works... something business and industry has known about and benefited from for decades. And as the neoliberal direction becomes more defined and more entrenched here so, too, do officials see and benefit from the wildly exciting profits generated at the cost of people and communities. Hotspots...oops, I mean potential high impact zones be damned.
