Lance Greyling, Shadow Minister of Energy
I have today written to the Minister of Energy, Ms Dipuo Peters, to request that she conduct a ministerial inquiry into the recent security breach at the Pelindaba nuclear facility. The investigation should establish the threats to nuclear security and make known to the public what measures are being implemented to prevent further breaches. The need for an investigation is strengthened by the fact that the incident occurred on 28 April but was only reported to the regulator on 1 June.
