and it's paula cuts continue to intensify south africa. more and more, most school seems like part of the solution. got a bill, it's john is back for intentional. we heard from of south african political commentator who says the biden administration is trying to subjugate the african continent with threats to punish the countries for their ties with russian by didn't explained to you and discipline. so that's again government to make it to delight, to much more on the side of the natural address. the americans are concerned about the new the globe. well, joe political, elena zation, which is lead better action for the nation, including china. then that this, that leaves that africa will dance to adela june. the americans are playing. we are fairly happy that this has not been the general response of the african people in african states are now russian president, vladimir putin has blamed the west for its energy crisis, calling for sanctions on the north stream. 2 gas pipeline to be lifted. he made these comments at the shanghai cooperation

many of them associated with south africa's colonial past. and their colonial past obviously paved the way for the implementation of a parties. i must mention at the same time though, that the queen was friends with the iconic freedom lead and nelson mandela. and she was seen as part of the soft power that put pressure on the apartheid government and bought about its demise. having said that, though, the queen paid little attention to africa. she seldom mentioned africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this a sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on the ground here, amongst many africans shoes, becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese personages in ping or russian president vladimir putin. not the queen is also feeling on the ground that with the passing of the queen, the commonwealth itself might become irrelevant. so with the queen now gone, you have issues of mere colonialism. issues of africa's pover

but while the country is being pushed to ditch fossil fuels, european imports of south africa code, we're up to 720 percent in the 1st half of 2022. absolutely, there's been so much politics involved in energy decisions worldwide. very foolish politics. africa is not europe. it's time the african countries started to make their own decisions for their own circumstances. many african countries about a dozen. they'll have formerly notified the international atomic energy agency that they wish to pursue nuclear as a future. and that is small modular reactors for their circumstances. we are building them in south africa. we would love to have interaction with many countries to install such reactors and not try to follow your appeal models. one and relations can be poised out of common endeavor, aspiration of fear. but for some, i'm a, was a political party. the ruling african national congress was, is a friend, a partner, and accommodate that supported the during the liberation movements in time of colonialism. and it's paula cuts continue to intensify south africa. more and more . moscow see

power stations, which provide 80% of the power in south africa currently tomorrow. hmm. it's a vision and a goal towards which we can strive. this is not a south african trend--"let's move away from coal"--it's a global trend, so, you know, one can try all one likes to hang on to a dying industry, but you can't fight a wave. you have to ride the wave, and the wave of the future is not coal. for me, you know, it's better that they ride the wave instead of being left out to sea, looking for the next wave while the winners are having cocktails on the beach.

south africa is one of the largest produces and exporters of coal in the world. and one of the countries under increasing pressure from the west to turn its back on the black rock and go green. even despite calls like this, the excitement of moving from coal to renewables is becoming a mis. many think that renewables are the so called savior, and we know that it is not. germany has learned that painfully. that's all good and, well, some might say, but only if europe practices what he preaches in the 1st 5 months of 2022 europe, but more called from south africa than it did in all of 2021. and while that was happening, the unit price per ton of coal went up at least $5.00 times in the last several months. and that's no surprise because with winter fast approaching and all the sanctions imposed on russia, the top calls supplier to the continent. europeans are going to need more help from more countries in order to fight the elements. and when one considers the fact that the green energy sector is not big enough to warm all europeans this winter, many people say tha
