Quo vadis Nersa?

With the awarding of a pipeline license to Transnet, Nersa is fast establishing itself as a mouthpiece of the Cabinet and the DME. There is manifest confusion about who actually awards licences that Spigot can only surmise that Nersa is a puppet of the DME and the Cabinet. So what real value does it have when it simply endorses decisions already made higher up? It leaves the Act, with its laudable and lofty aims of competitiveness and free enterprise in the sector in tatters. Viva socialist centralization! Viva Nxocina! Viva National Interest! Viva!
