Join Open Secrets and Currency for the launch of Open Secrets’ new report: The Corporations and Economic Crime Report Vol. 4: The Oil and Gas Majors.
Fossil fuel giants like Total, Shell, and Impact Oil and Gas, are doubling down on drilling off South Africa’s coast, with the full backing of the South African government. This is despite South Africa’s climate commitments, the significant environmental, economic, and health risks associated with oil and gas exploration and production, and the resistance of local communities.
This scramble for fossil fuels not only lines the pockets of elites, but flies in the face of South Africa’s promises to reduce carbon emissions, combat climate change, and pursue sustainable economic development.
Currency’s Rob Rose will host a crucial conversation with Open Secrets’ Luvano Ntuli and Michael Marchant, alongside Priyanka Naidoo from Green Connection, to uncover how these corporations are pushing for expansion and profits, despite fierce resistance.

The Corporations and Economic Crime Report (CECR) is a publication series that explores the most egregious cases of economic crimes and corruption by private financial institutions. In doing so, we aim to highlight the key themes that link corporate criminality across these periods of time, focusing on the role of the private sector, a critical blind spot in the discourse around economic crime.
