The Just Transition, Energy democracy and climate justice

For many years, scientists and NGO’s have warned about the dangers of climate change, especially what is referred to as “global warming”. In recent years we have directly experienced extreme ...weather such as long droughts and destructive floods.

Governments and NGO’s have met regularly in international Conferences of Parties or COP meetings in attempts to address climate change, but it seems that to date, very little progress has been made and scientists are now predicting an ecological disaster that will negatively affect the poorest people worst. With the USA now ruled by the Trump regime, are we facing a disastrous future and if so, what can we do about it?

Historically, South Africa’s economy was built around mining, agriculture and cheap black labour. Since the late 1980’s the mining industry has shrunk and thousands of workers were laid off, many ...banished to the former homelands of Apartheid South Africa and neighbouring countries. Many have since struggled to survive and relied on retirement and other benefits due to them. However, this was not forthcoming, leaving many miners and other workers and their widows destitute. In today’s show we assess the progress of these workers in accessing their long overdue benefits and we talk to representatives of the Unpaid Benefits Campaign (UBC).Show More
