Imagine going through the immense effort of completely rebuilding our South African energy systems, but not taking care of #EnergyPoverty. What a massive societal failure that would be. Please guys, let's #LeaveNoOneBehind.

A #JustEnergyTransition is NOT about commerce exploiting a South Africa caught between a Rock&HardPlace.- its about empowering every South Africa so that ALL can profit from self-generation & consumption. #REIPPP as it has been is neither fair nor just.
