Podcast: Up First from NPRPublished On: Sun Sep 17 2023
Description: South Africa has long been one of the world's largest consumers of coal. But the country is now in the midst of transitioning its energy supply from coal to renewable sources. But when a country moves away from a source of energy like coal what happens to the towns and communities that were built to support the coal industry.

Host Lesedi Mogoathe sent youth reporter Siya Mokoena and senior producer Dhashen Moodley to a coal mining town at the center of this transition to find out what happens to people who've built their lives around coal.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
