The Western Cape High Court set aside Western Cape provincial Department of Environmental Affair's decision to permit the construction of a pebble bed modular reactor at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, north of Cape Town. Judge Ben Griesel ruled that Environment Affairs director-general Chippy Olver was bound to permit the non-governmental organisation Earth Life Africa and other interested parties "an opportunity of addressing further written submissions to him".
