Good news about cellphone towers in South Africa
Dion George, minister of forestry, fisheries, and the environment, has unveiled a new National Web-Based Environmental Screening Tool, which he says will slash delays in environmental approvals for new infrastructure and renewable energy projects.
While the department didn't specifically name mobile network infrastructure, De Rebus reports that environmental authorisation is required for cellphone towers or other sites that haven't hosted such infrastructure.
