As the Southern Africa Oil and Gas Conference draws to a close, South Africa’s Deputy Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Phumzile Mgcina, says one of the biggest challenges facing the country’s petroleum sector is persistent opposition from environmental lobby groups, which she argues continues to hinder oil and gas development initiatives.

The conference brought together industry leaders, policymakers and investors to discuss the region’s energy future and explore opportunities within Southern Africa’s oil and gas sector, including investment prospects, regulatory reforms and the role of hydrocarbons in the energy transition.
