In a statement condemning the current attacks on foreign nationals, Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, as well as Deputy Minister Thembisile Majola said that among the potentially transformative and life changing energy projects is the Great Inga Hydropower Scheme located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The project is destined to produce electrical power for a number of countries within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region including South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi, Namibia and Angola in the long run.
