Le Ntlanganiso iKhethekileyo yeKhabhinethi ibiqhutywa ngonxibelelwano lwevidiyo ibibanjwe phambi kokuqala kwe-Lekgotla yeKhabhinethi.
A. Izigqibo zeKhabhinethi
1. Ukwandiswa kwexesha lesiCwangciso seCandelo lezeHaydrojin (i-HSRM)
1.1. IKhabhinethi ikuvumile ukwandiswa kwexesha le-HRSM liqhube leminyaka ilishumi izayo. I-HSRM izalisekisa isiCwangciso-qhinga saseMzantsi Afrika seHaydrojin esavunywa yiKhabhinethi ngowama-2007 ukulungiselela ilizwe ukufika kwexesha lokusebenzisa ngamandla ihaydrojin kuqoqosho. I-HSRM yakhela kule misebenzi sele yenziwe kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo yokulungiselela uMzantsi Afrika ukuba usuke kwisigaba sokuphanda nokuphuhlisa uye kwesokuvelisa nokushishina.
1.2. I-HSRM idibanisa iintlobo zobuchwepheshe obusebenzisa ihaydrojin kumacandelo ohlukeneyo ezoqoqosho futhi ikhuthaza nohlumo loqoqosho oluza kuxhanyulwa ngumntu wonke. Yenza uMzantsi Afrika ube lilizwe elinecandelo lezehaydrojin elinamathuba amaninzi futhi yandisa nenani lamazwe angaphandle anokuthenga ubuchwepheshe obenziwe ngehaydrojin.
1.3. Amaphulo okuveliswa kweemveliso kunye nezixhobo zokusebenza ezenziwe ngehaydrojin kweli aza kuncedisa kumalinge okudala imisebenzi nakuphuhliso lwezakhono, futhi enze neenguqu kuqoqosho eziza kuxhanyulwa ngabo babehlelekileyo ngaphambili, ingakumbi amanina nolutsha.
1.4. I-HRSM ikwancedisa nakumaphulo okuphungula isisi esiyingozi (i-GHG) kokusingqongileyo. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, iza kunceda kumalinge okuvelisa amandla ombane ohlaziyekayo aza kugalelwa kumbane wesizwe, kwaye ikwenza neziphakamiso eziza kunceda icandelo leziThuthi eziziGadla eziKhulu, elilelona candelo ligalela i-GHG eninzi kokusingqongileyo.
1.5. Onke amahlakani afanelekileyo aquka amasebe karhulumente, amaziko emfundo ephakamileyo, icandelo labucala kunye namabhunga ezenzelulwazi abe negalelo kwinkqubo yokuqulunqa esi sicwangciso. Sisebenza njengomkhombandlela wokuqinisekisa ukuba kukho ukuhambelana nokusebenzisana phakathi kwabo bonke ubuchwepheshe obunxulumene nehaydrojin kunye nophuhliso lwezakhono zeli lizwe. Olu xwebhu luza kupapashwa kwiwebhusayithi yeSebe lezeNzululwazi noYilo ethi: www.dst.gov.za.
2. IsiVumelwano esiHlonyelweyo sokuKhuselwa ngokuBonakalayo kweeMveliso zeNyukliya (i-CPPNM)
2.1. IKhabhinethi ikuvumile ukungeniswa kwe-CPPNM ehlonyelweyo ePalamente ukuze yamkelwe, ngokweCandelo 231(2) loMgaqo-siseko weRiphabhlikhi yoMzantsi Afrika wowe-1996 elithi: “Isivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe siyibophelela iRiphabhlikhi kuphela emva kokuba sivunyiwe ngesigqibo esenziwe kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho yesiZwe nakwiBhunga leSizwe lamaPhondo”.
2.2. Ezi zilungiso zenziwe yi-International Atomic Energy Agency (i-IAEA) ziphucula elona qondo liphantsi lehlabathi lokukhusela amaziko kunye neemveliso zenyukliya ezisetyenziswa kumaphulo oxolo. UMzantsi Afrika njengelungu le-IAEA utyikitye esi sivumelwano waza wasamkela ngokusesikweni ngowama-2007.
2.3. Ezi zilungiso kwesi sivumelwano ziphucule ukhuseleko lwesizwe lwamazwe asityikityileyo, kuquka nezinto ezifunekayo zokukhuselwa ngokubonakalayo kwamaziko enyukliya kunye neemveliso zayo.
2.4. Sinika uluhlu lwamatyala afana nokuthengwa kunye nokuthunyelwa kumazwe angaphandle kweemveliso zenyukliya kungakhange kukhutshwe amaphepha-mvume kuqala. Siphucula intsebenziswano phakathi kwamazwe asityikityileyo malunga nokwabelana ngolwazi olunxulumene nokusetyenziswa kweemveliso zenyukliya kumaphulo angekho mthethweni.
3. Ukutshintshwa kweziko lophehlo-nyukliya i-SAFARI-1
3.1. IKhabhinethi ikuvumile ukwakhiwa kweziko lezinto ezininzi lophehlo-nyukliya eliza kuthatha indawo yeli ziko lophehlo-nyukliya likhoyo ngoku libizwa ngokuba yi-SAFARI-1 leQumrhu loMzantsi Afrika laMandla eNyukliya (i-NECSA). Eli ziko laqala ukusebenza ngonyaka we-1965 kwaye lifanele ukuphelelwa lixesha ekupheleni konyaka wama-2030.
3.2. I-SAFARI-1 lelinye lamaziko aphambili amane ehlabathi avelisa i-radioisotopes yezonyango esetyenziselwa ukunyanga izigidi zabantu abagulayo ngonyaka. Ikwanceda nesizwe ngophando ngezenzululwazi, uphuhliso kunye noyilo kwezonyango, ezolimo, inzululwazi ngezidalwa zakudala-dala (i-paleontology), kunye nezenzululwazi ngobomi.
3.3. Olu tshintsho luza kuqinisekisa ukuba uMzantsi Afrika uhlala ulelinye lamazwe aphambilli kula macandelo kwaye uyabuxhamla obu buchwepheshe butsha bukhoyo. Eli phulo liza kukhokelwa ngamasebe afanelekileyo aze u-NECSA yena abe lelona liphambili.
4. INgxelo ngeziNtsha yesi-4 yoMzantsi Afrika kaNyaka-mbini
4.1. IKhabhinethi ivumile ukuba kungeniswe iNgxelo ngeziNtsha yesi-4 kaNyaka-mbini yelizwe – enika ingcaciso ngezamva nje malunga namalinge eli lizwe okuphungula umonakalo kunye nokuziqhelanisa notshintsho lwemozulu – kwisiVumelwano sesiCwangciso-sikhokelo soGuquko lweMozulu seZizwe eziManyeneyo (i-UNFCCC).
4.2. Le ngxelo inike ingcaciso ngemigaqo-nkqubo esele iqalisiwe ukuphunyezwa kwakunye namanyathelo athatyathwe lilizwe ukuphungula isisi se-GHG. Ikwanika nengcaciso ngezintsha ngamalungiselelo asele enziwe okutshintshela kuhlobo loqoqosho oluvelisa isisi esincinci esiyingozi kokusingqongileyo njengoko kucacisiwe kwiPhepha eliCacisa uMgaqo-nkqubo wamaNyathelo eSizwe okuLwa uTshinsho lweMozulu.
4.3. UMzantsi Afrika uzibophelele uza kufaka isandla kumalinge ehlabathi okuphungula umthamo wesisi se-GHG kwiinkqubo zawo eziphambili zophuhliso. Njengelizwe elatyikitya i-UNFCCC, uMzantsi Afrika ulindeleke ukuba ungenise iingxelo ngezintsha rhoqo.
5. IsiCwangciso seSizwe sokuLwa uTshintsho lweMozulu (i-NDC)
5.1. IKhabhinethi ivumile ukuba ungeniswe kwi-UNFCCC umlinganiselo ohlaziyiweyo wowama-2030 we-NDC wokunciphisa umonakalo wotshintsho lwemozulu. UMzantsi Afrika uwuphungule umlinganiselo wesisi esiyingozi kokusingqongileyo ozakuwukhupha ngowowama-2025 wasuka ku-398 waya kutsho ku– 510 Mt Co2-eq waza owama-2030 wasuka ku-350 waya kutsho ku– 420 Mt Co2-eq.
5.2. NgokwesiVumelwano i-Paris Agreement onke amazwe atyikitye esi sivumelwano kufuneka angenise ii-NDC rhoqo emva kweminyaka emihlanu. UMzantsi Afrika wangenisa ii-NDC yawo yokuqala kwi-UNFCCC ngeyeDwarha ngowama-2015, apho wawuthembisa ukuba isisi se-GHG oza kusikhupha siza kuba phakathi kuka-398 no-614 Mt Co2-eq ngowama-2025 nangowama-2030. IsiVumelwano i-Paris Agreement sifuna nokuba amaqonda obushushu emhlabeni athotywe ngama-degrees Celcius amabini kuze kwenziwe namalinge okuba ehle nge-1.5 ye-degrees Celcius.
5.3. Onke amazwe atyikitya esi sivumelwano ayelindeleke ukuba ahlaziye imilinganiselo yawo yowama-2015 ngowama-2020 ukuqinisekisa ukuba iyahambelana nophando lwezenzululwazi lwakutsha nje. Le milinganiselo mitsha kufuneka izithathele ingqalelo iingxelo zakutsha nje zeQela looRhulumente abaHlukeneyo loTshintsho lweMozulu, futhi ihambelane neyamahlakani onke afaka isandla kumalinge esizwe.
