JOHANNESBURG: South African Energy Minister Jeff Radebe signed the first of a series of renewable energy contracts worth 55.92 billion rand ($4.72 billion) on Wednesday, in the first major investment deal under President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The signing went ahead after a South African court dismissed a last-minute legal challenge by a metalworkers’ union and group which has lobbied for ousted president Jacob Zuma in the past.
