Ityala lika Shell kwiNkundla yoMgaqo-siseko

The Wild Coast community and civil society organisations, including Natural Justice and Greenpeace Africa, are challenging an SCA order in the Constitutional Court. They argue that the order allowing Shell to seek a decision on renewing its exploration rights is unfair and fails to protect human rights, cultural beliefs, and the environment. The challenge seeks to ensure that any exploration is subject to proper environmental permission and meaningful consultation with local residents.

• Community members and civil society organisations argue that the SCA order allowing the Minister to decide on Shell's request to renew exploration rights is unfair, unequal, and contrary to the law.
• The legal challenge asserts that the SCA order fails to protect the lives, cultural rights, and spiritual beliefs of the affected people, and it does not specify the necessary procedures for conducting research, including required environmental permits.
• The applicants contend that the SCA order improperly allows Shell to rectify a previously failed consultation process after the right had been unused for over ten years.
