South Africa: Rosatom MOU's Clear Indication of Government Bias in Nuke Deal

press release

The DA will today write to the Minister of Energy, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, to request the full details of the two memoranda of understanding (MOU) signed with Russian State Nuclear Energy Corporation (Rosatom) at the Brics Summit earlier this week.

The DA believes that signing MOU's of this nature, while a competitive bid process is underway, smacks of gross impropriety on behalf of Minister Joemat-Pettersson and can be seen as nothing more than a crude attempt by the Zuma administration to bolster Rosatom's bid over potential rivals.
