South African Mineral Resources Minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi said he would prefer that the country’s laws on oil and gas exploration be split from mining legislation.

“The key thing is to try to separate the oil and gas from your traditional mining, in other words, have a separate bill for that,” he said in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “If I could achieve that I would be very happy. We must check the legal position to see if that can be done.”
