Draft National Strategy on Sustainable Development and Action Plan 2010-2014: Invitation for written representations or comments (Gazette No. 33184 – Notice 393)
Buyelwa Patience Sonjica, Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, hereby publishes a draft national strategy on sustainable development and action plan that will operate between the years 2010 and 2014, in the schedule below.
I think the policy is perfect and in order but whether we have the mechanisms to ensure that these policies are put into practice remains to be seen. I am personally very happy to see the strategy for a Carbon Tax Scheme in place rather than a Carbon Trading Scheme given the simplicity of the former and the failure of the latter in the EU. However, whether sufficient regulations are put into place which will enforce these policies remains to be seen.
