BN@10: SA’s imminent oil and gas boom - Lorimer shares latest facts on nation’s untapped treasure

The most astonishing part about this hugely bullish keynote to the BizNews@10 event is that it was delivered by a politician without incentive to discuss the country’s immediate economic potential. James Lorimer is the official opposition’s shadow minister of Mineral Resources and a hot favourite to land the portfolio’s cabinet position should the Multiparty Charter for SA prevail in the 2024 national election. Yet here he is, telling the BizNews tribe that a massive oil and gas resource is about to be unlocked, catapulting the country’s economic prospects. I guess his journalistic background kicked in - news as good as this cannot be kept under wraps. - Alec Hogg
