INEQUALITY CRISIS: Despite geopolitical resistance, President Cyril Ramaphosa has sought to use South Africa’s G20 presidency to place the threat posed by inequality on to the global agenda. A taskforce established by Ramaphosa, and led by Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, has called for the creation of an international panel to tackle inequality, warning that extreme wealth disparities disrupt democracy and cause economic instability. “The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it’s time we recognise that we face an inequality emergency too,” Stiglitz asserts.

There is growing concern, however, about Nersa’s capacity to make decisions that will be supportive of the transition. Recent court cases and settlements have brought to the fore the problems at the regulator and have also highlighted the urgent need for its capabilities and its capacity to be beefed up.
