WHEN Nigerian political refugee Barry Wuganaale heard on television that Shell would be fracking for gas in the Karoo, he nearly choked on his dinner.
I was shocked. I didnt need to think twice about opposing this. South Africa has no experience of Shell operating upstream. You know them at the pumps here, but not drilling, Wuganaale said yesterday. I am from the Ogoni people in the Nigeria. We know Shell. What Shell has done to the Ogoni people and to the Nigerian state, I dont wish to be repeated on anyone.
