Difícil encontrar um país com mais sol e ventos, e o melhor: durante o ano todo. Mesmo assim, a África do Sul tem uma das matrizes energéticas mais 'sujas' do mundo, dependente do carvão. A gigante emergente do continente africano ilustra o quanto a transição para uma economia de baixo carbono é, ao mesmo tempo, vetor de desenvolvimento e de redução de emissões de gases de efeito estufa. Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI a Joanesburgo (África do Sul)Há anos, o país convive com as consequências do colapso das usinas a carvão, responsável por mais de 80% do mix energético sul-africano. As infraestruturas antigas e com manutenção deficiente são incapazes de responder à demanda crescente da maior economia do continente. Os apagões viraram rotina e motivaram um movimento da sociedade civil e das empresas por fontes renováveis, em busca de autonomia da rede nacional de energia."Depois do Covid, começou a ser diário, em vários períodos do dia: duas horas de manhã, duas de tarde, duas de noite. Depois, por todos esses problemas de manutenção e outros problemas externos, os cortes passaram a ser de quatro horas a cada vez. Você ficava praticamente o dia inteiro sem energia", lembra a mineira Marília, que vive há mais de 17 anos em Joanesburgo.Marília conta que os load sheddings, como são chamados os apagões regulares programados pela companhia nacional Eskom, levaram inicialmente a uma corrida por geradores a diesel ou gasolina. Mais recentemente, é a procura por instalações particulares de painéis solares que virou moda – pelo menos para quem pode pagar.A casa onde ela mora é equipada com painéis fotovoltaicos que geram energia para atender às principais necessidades, como os eletrodomésticos ou a televisão, durante os apagões. Os equipamentos, de vários tamanhos, também transformaram a iluminação do jardim ou o sistema de alarme da residência autossuficientes em energia."Está virando uma coisa comum. Cada vez mais, você está precisa ficar independente do governo, já que a companhia elétrica não está aguentado", constata. "As pessoas têm painéis, mesmo pequenos como esses nossos, mas que resolvem."Transição em Sowetto e 'pobreza energética'Mas essa realidade que o país começa a viver está longe de beneficiar a todos. A cerca de 50 quilômetros dali, no bairro de Sowetto, na periferia de Joanesburgo, a instalação de painéis fotovoltaicos ainda é um privilégio raro.O restaurante Sakhumzi é um dos poucos estabelecimentos com geração própria sobre os telhados – um investimento feito há quase 10 anos. “Não temos energia suficiente no país, então pensamos que para podermos oferecer uma boa experiência para os nossos clientes, nós teríamos que investir em uma solução de energia renovável, no caso, a solar, que não seja ligada à rede convencional. E essa também é a nossa contribuição para a conservação da Terra”, relata Lebongang Makola, um dos gerentes do local."Já chegamos num ponto em que podemos ver os impactos negativos se não cuidarmos da nossa 'Mãe Terra'. É muito importante para nós, cidadãos, pensarmos nas ideias para podermos renovar os recursos limitados que nós temos, porque se nós esgotarmos os nossos recursos, vamos ter um enorme problema", acrescenta ele.O restaurante é parada obrigatória dos turistas que visitam o emblemático bairro onde viveu o líder antiapartheid Nelson Mandela. O estabelecimento ainda não é totalmente autônomo em energia, mas a ampliação do número de painéis, num futuro próximo, deve levar o Sakhumzi a ser cada vez menos atingido pelos apagões generalizados. "O impacto na conta de luz é claro: ela é bem mais baixa que a dos nossos vizinhos, afinal dependemos menos da rede nacional de energia. E ter energia de reserva nos permite continuar a ter luz por vários dias, quando o país tem blackouts", afirma Makola.A desigualdade do acesso à energia não é de agora, e se perpetua: na construção das infraestruturas sul-africanas, o regime do apartheid teve a política deliberada de deixar de fora os subúrbios e as zonas rurais ocupados pela população negra. Até hoje, ainda são essas as áreas que mais sofrem com os apagões, na comparação com bairros ricos como o Sandton, em Joanesburgo, onde os cortes são bem menos frequentes.O geólogo e gestor de investimentos Clyde Mallinson não tem nenhuma dúvida: vive no lugar mais abençoado do mundo para se tornar uma potência na energia do futuro, o hidrogênio verde, graças ao sol e ventos abundantes e constantes na África do Sul. Ele estima que o país poderá triplicar a oferta de eletricidade até 2035 graças aos parques solares e eólicos que, pouco a pouco, começam a se espalhar pelo país – por enquanto, quase sempre por iniciativa privada. Uma análise do potencial global de geração de energia solar do Banco Mundial confirma que o país oferece uma “oportunidade única” neste setor. "A transição para as renováveis não é um custo, é uma economia. A questão é como nós vamos distribuir essa economia com justiça, e não como vamos financiá-la", salienta. "Custa menos do que produzir energia de carvão, petróleo, diesel e nuclear. É mais barato, e é um investimento que volta. Então, não tem uma verdadeira razão para ainda não estarmos fazendo isso em larga escala."De quebra, essa revolução deve cortar os custos da luz pela metade e poderá tirar 10 milhões de habitantes de uma situação de pobreza energética, garante o especialista. São pessoas que têm dinheiro suficiente para comida, mas não para pagar o uso regular de luz em casa."A transição energética nos oferece uma oportunidade de reduzir a desigualdade. Se você apenas tira as pessoas da pobreza energética, já é ótimo. Mas se você as leva para um pouco mais acima, você gera empreendedorismo", observa. "As pessoas podem produzir comida, podem ter um espaço de trabalho de no pátio. É mágico. A magia acontece se você tem um pouco de energia a mais – e não quando você só tem o suficiente para atender às suas necessidades básicas."Quem pode, banca renováveis com o próprio bolsoNa Universidade de Joanesburgo, o astrofísico Hartmut Winkler mostra o estacionamento coberto por painéis fotovoltaicos como apenas mais um exemplo do que já se torna ‘o novo normal' de grandes empresas, shoppings e até bairros de classe média: aproveitar cada grande espaço exposto ao sol para recuperar a energia."Nós chegamos num ponto em que a energia solar realmente ficou mais barata, assim como a eólica, então o maior problema é a intermitência. Ela precisa funcionar em conjunção com baterias especificas, alternativamente com gás, talvez, e os preços das baterias ainda estão meio caros. Esses têm sido os verdadeiros obstáculos", assinala. "Mas como o país entrou nessa crise energética, já que muitas as usinas a carvão quebraram, tivemos grandes investimentos recentes em energia solar".A crise energética freia o crescimento sul-africano, abala a confiança de investidores no país e afeta a atividade econômica no dia a dia, o que aumenta os custos de produção e do consumo. Em setembro, ao final de uma primeira Cúpula Africana do Clima, os dirigentes do continente pediram ajuda da comunidade internacional para ajudar a África a expandir o potencial excepcional que existe na região. "Nós temos uma situação maluca: até as minas de carvão estão construindo plantas solares nos seus terrenos. A energia solar está acontecendo e vão vejo ela voltando atrás. O maior problema agora é que leva tempo para instalar. Não tem painéis suficientes sendo fabricados na China ou em qualquer outro lugar que os produz", aponta o professor. "E o outro problema é que precisa de pessoas para instalar, e não temos pessoal suficientemente treinado para fazer isso aqui. Eu acho que essa é uma área potencial interessante de crescimento e para a geração de empregos."Clyde Mallinson relembra que, que apesar dos benefícios evidentes, governo sul-africano inicialmente não viu essa revolução energética com a maior das boas vontade. As usinas a carvão são a base econômica em muitas regiões e empregam 100 mil pessoas no país – onde o desemprego passa de 30%.Além disso, os recursos necessários para a expansão das renováveis ainda estão longe de serem alcançados Um estudo da Universidade de Stellenbosch que amparou a Comissão Presidencial do Clima, criada para promover o setor no país, estimou o custo do projeto em US$ 250 bilhões em 30 anos.Neste contexto, a Eskon – que no fim de 2022, só conseguia gerar a metade da sua capacidade devido às infraestruturas deficientes – chegou a tentar proibir que uma cidade rural continuasse a usar um pequeno parque eólico que os habitantes haviam construído, em busca de independência da rede nacional."Do ponto de vista do governo, eles estão preocupados porque se tem gás ou outra fonte fóssil, eles têm direito a royalties. Eles taxam. Se é carvão, eles taxam. Mas como eles vão fazer para taxar a luz do sol, a energia solar?", observa o Mallinson. "Esse é um dos maiores problemas: o governo ainda não entendeu como ele vai extrair renda do vento e do sol, da mesma forma que ele tira dos combustíveis fosseis", salienta o consultor. 

Deux mois après l'obtention d'un prêt du FMI, le Ghana se débat toujours avec la vie chère. Les 3 milliards de dollars accordés à Accra par l'institution de Bretton Woods n'a encore que des effets limités. Le Ghana, frappé de plein fouet par la double crise du Covid et de la guerre en Ukraine, a vu la spirale inflationniste stoppée nette. Pour autant, pour les consommateurs, la vie reste extrêmement chère et beaucoup sont surendettés.  De notre envoyé spécial à Accra,À Makola, haut lieu du commerce au Ghana, l'effervescence est quotidienne. Mais les visages sont ceux des jours tristes. L'inflation est repartie à la hausse en mai dernier, plus de 42% sur un an. Maria est l'une des centaines de vendeuses de produits alimentaires, et attend, désespérément, un client. « Vous voyez mon pain et mon beurre. Avant, c'était 1,50 cédi maintenant, c'est 20 cédis. Je passe des heures sans vendre, et ça me fatigue trop ! », déplore-t-elle.Lui aussi est un homme essoré par la crise économique ghanéenne. Mickael Blay est un commerçant installé depuis des années sur le grand marché du vêtement de seconde main. Les 3 milliards de dollars de prêt du FMI, il en a bien évidemment entendu parler, mais l'impact est minime selon lui. « 1 dollar vaut 11,4 cédis ghanéens. Donc rien n'a changé. Le cédi a même augmenté. Les effets du prêt du FMI ? Non, non, non, il n'y a eu aucun changement pour notre quotidien. Écoutez-moi bien : du fait de la crise, il y a moins de monnaie en circulation. Les prix restent très hauts. Au niveau monétaire, ça ne va pas, et la tension est toujours très forte », assène-t-il.Aucune marge de manœuvreMais au niveau macroéconomique, Accra et le FMI insistent pour dire que ces 3 milliards de dollars doivent viabiliser la dette du Ghana. En attendant, le taux d'endettement des ménages ghanéens explose. À Kantamanto, plus grand marché d'Afrique de seconde main, sur les 30 000 commerçants, seuls 20% réalisent des bénéfices. L'immense majorité, comme Mickael Blay n'a aucune marge de manœuvre. « On est endettés. Tout le monde l'est ici. On va voir les banques pour leur demander un prêt histoire d'avoir une avance de trésorerie. Mais les taux d'emprunt sont si hauts, 35% », regrette-t-il. « Juste pour les intérêts, je rembourse 800 cédis par mois, 9600 sur un an. C'est trop ! Et que se passe-t-il, quand tous vos revenus passent dans le remboursement de vos prêts ? Je suis père de famille. Tss, la vie est vraiment dure ces temps-ci. »À 40 ans, Mickael Blay et sa femme, employée de banque, ont décidé de ne pas avoir un deuxième enfant. Conséquence aussi de la vie chère au Ghana.

Le Ghana vit sa pire crise économique depuis une génération. Le pays est en défaut de paiement depuis le 19 décembre, l'inflation dépasse les 40 % en rythme annuel. Dans les rues d'Accra la morosité règne. De notre envoyée spéciale à Accra, Les effets de la crise sont visibles partout dans la capitale. La circulation jadis saturée est devenue fluide, les marchés sont presque vides et les boutiques désertées. Face à l'inflation qui dépasse les 40 %, il a fallu trouver des parades. Beaucoup de Ghanéens se sont mis à sauter des repas, ou à troquer les transports en commun contre la marche. Ousmane Mohammed Awni, qui dirige un garage dans le quartier de Nima, raconte comment la situation s'est dégradée. Quand vous allez au marché, les prix changent tous les jours. J'ai dû réduire toutes mes dépenses. J'avais fait installer l'air conditionné, mais à cause du prix de l'électricité, je ne peux plus. J'avais 5 ou 6 apprentis à la fois, mais maintenant, je travaille seul. Je ne pouvais plus me permettre de payer leurs salaires. Tous les commerçants souffrent de la dévaluation vertigineuse de la monnaie locale, le cedi, qui a perdu la moitié de sa valeur face au dollar. Au grand marché de Makola, un vendeur de vêtements, dénommé Lord, tient l'une des rares boutiques en dur. L'air découragé, il est assis les bras ballants devant sa marchandise, que personne ne s'arrête plus pour regarder. « Les vêtements que je vendais à 70 cedis avant la crise, je les vends maintenant à 100 cedis. Si vous n'augmentez pas vos prix, vous ne pouvez pas survivre », explique Lord. « La dévaluation est trop importante, c'est devenu très difficile de faire des affaires. Tout ce qu'on peut faire, c'est prier pour que la dévaluation cesse et qu'on puisse reprendre les affaires. » La grogne monte et les manifestants descendent dans la rue Le Ghana a passé mi-décembre un accord de 3 milliards de dollars avec le FMI... Une décision impopulaire dans un pays fier de sa souveraineté monétaire. Mais pour Mohammed Seidu Lansah, journaliste et essayiste ghanéen, il était inévitable qu'il souffre plus de la crise économique mondiale que ses voisins francophones. On ne peut pas comparer notre économie à celle des anciennes colonies françaises en Afrique de l'Ouest. Grâce au contrôle qu'exerce la France sur leurs économies, ils peuvent mieux gérer l'inflation. Eux ne sont pas isolés dans la région. La France n'a qu'à produire de la monnaie, et quand il y a de l'inflation, ils la retiennent. Ils produisent, ils retiennent, ainsi de suite, c'est comme ça qu'on garde l'inflation sous contrôle. Et dans la population, la grogne monte. Des centaines de manifestants sont descendus dans la rue le mois dernier pour dénoncer l'incurie des autorités et appeler à la démission du président Akufo-Addo et de son ministre des Finances. Rappelant au passage que les deux hommes sont cousins, ce qui ne manque pas de nourrir les accusations de népotisme.

The story AN OUTPOST OF P[ROGRESS deals with two European men, named Kayerts and Carlier, who are assigned to a trading post in a remote part of the African Jungle. There they take part in ivory trading, hoping to financially benefit the company as well as themselves. With no specific tasks or important things to be done, they both become increasingly isolated and demoralized as time goes by. At one point in the story, the native Makola, serving as Kayerts's and Carlier's bookkeeper, initiates an exchange of slaves for ivory. Initially Kayerts and Carlier are stunned and scandalized by the idea, yet eventually they accept the deal and aid Makola for his huge profit. Both men are plagued by disease and grow very weak physically towards the end of the story. Finally, a seemingly trivial matter – sugar – sparks an irrational, uncontrolled and violent conflict between them, and ends tragically. Symbolocally- their plight in this story reflects that of the downfall of British colonialism- and that’s what makes this story so powerful.
