"Greenpeace today urges the South African government to learn from the lessons of Fukushinma and to stop the use of nuclear in South Africa’s energy mix. Almost a year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster thousands of Japanese are still reeling from the devastation and displacement as a result. This remains sad reminder that nuclear power is dangerous and will only lead South Africa to a deadly energy future.
As part of activities to remember the March 11th 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Greenpeace Africa is hosting a survivor of the nuclear tragedy from the 27 February to 2 March 2012. Evacuee Ms Ayako Oga is a long-time resident and farmer from the village of Okuma Machi, around 7.5 kilometres from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Ms Oga was forced to leave her home and abandon her dream to live and farm in the countryside as she knows she may never return home."
