The former president has reportedly even claimed that Russia would have been ‘understanding’ in the event we couldn’t repay the R1 trillion.this week that he had been correct to push as hard as he did for a nuclear deal with Russia to go through.
One of the first steps President Cyril Ramaphosa and his choice of energy minister, Jeff Radebe, took after coming to power in the wake of Zuma’s resignation was to put the brakes on further talk of nuclear with Brics partner Russia, citing affordability concerns. Radebe has, however, said that nuclear remains an important consideration in trying to secure South Africa’s energy security.
In his interview with Karyn Maughan, Zuma in effect admitted to having been deeply committed to Russia’s nuclear energy company Rosatom. They would have built South Africa’s first new nuclear power plant, or plants, since democracy because the then president had made “very serious comparisons” among the countries offering nuclear, and Russia was “offering more things”, he said.
