Meanwhile, Bobby Peek, director of GroundWork, Friends of the Earth South Africa warned that “the environmental and social cost of this development will impact on all South Africans as three major water catchments, the Limpopo, Vaal and Senque Rivers are all going to have their water diverted for Medupi and future power stations. (….)Not only is this area going to be a sacrifice zone, the entire country will, and the World Bank knows this but chooses to ignore it. They will be held accountable.”

Já, o diretor de Groundwork Amigos da Terra África do Sul, Bobby Peek, alertou que “o custo ambiental e social deste desenvolvimento impactará em todos os sul-africanos porque as três maiores fontes de água, os rios Limpopo, Vaal e Senque, serão desviadas para tornar possível Medupi e outras usinas futuras”. “O Banco Mundial sabe que todo o país será atingido mas ]prefere ignorá-lo. Terá que prestar contas”, afirmou Peek.
