These are the two messages uniting civil society in a demonstration on 1st September, to coincide with second anniversary celebrations of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD+2). The demonstration will call on government to play a stronger role in increasing access to and affordability of energy services, coupled with development of local industries in renewable energy technologies. "Two years after the WSSD, millions of South African households are still without access to affordable and safe energy, " says Richard Worthington, branch co-ordinator of Earthlife Africa Johannesburg, which is organising the demonstration.
