Nene's fracking announcement 'a double-edged sword' | News Article

Cape Town - The anti-fracking lobby group, Treasure Karoo Action Group, says pronouncements by the Finance Minister on funding for fracking, represents a double-edged sword.

Yesterday, Minister Nhlanhla Nene, allocated 108 million rand for preparations for shale gas mining and research.
 
The group's Jeannie le Roux says to some extent it's good that government realises how much still needs to be done and how little is understood about fracking before the country's in a position to consider allowing hydraulic fracturing.

Le Roux says they want clarity from the Minister on what the money will be used for.
