JOHANNESBURG, 14 AUGUST 2026 – South Africa’s Constitutional Court has delivered a decisive victory for Wild Coast communities, ocean justice and environmental rights, by setting aside the exploration right that would have allowed Shell and Impact Africa to search for oil and gas off the Wild Coast, and closing any renewal route.

The precedent-setting judgment, authored by Justice Narandran “Jody” Kollapen and handed down today, sets aside a previous Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling that had granted energy giants an opportunity to remedy unlawful exploration rights through renewal applications. The court ruled decisively that corporate financial investments cannot override constitutional violations or procedural injustice.

Delivering the majority judgment, Justice Narandran “Jody” Kollapen emphasised that economic development cannot steamroll community rights and cultural heritage:

“The enquiry cannot be reduced to a formal balancing exercise that treats cultural, religious, spiritual and environmental concerns as merely competing interests against economic development…A just and equitable remedy should therefore not allow speculative or corporation-centred economic benefits to outweigh procedural justice where communities’ livelihoods, cultural identity and environmental interests are directly at stake.”

South Africa’s coastline is a hotbed for oil and gas exploration activities that directly impact communities’ environments, livelihoods, heritage, and cultural practices. This judgment sets a critical precedent by establishing that procedural injustice and the failure to consult local communities cannot be cured after the fact, ensuring that human rights, ocean protection, and precautionary environmental law take strict priority over fossil fuel expansion. In reaching its decision, the Court drew on the July 2025 International Court of Justice advisory opinion on states’ climate obligations, underscoring that climate change must be weighed in decisions of this kind.

Civil Society & Community Reactions

Reflecting on the monumental ruling, Eugene Perumal, Governance and Legal Advisor at Greenpeace Africa, stated:

“14 August 2026 will go down as a historic day following this landmark judgment by the Constitutional Court. This ruling vindicates the affected grassroots communities of the Wild Coast, civil society organisations, and our legal representatives who fought tirelessly together.

The apex court firmly rejected Shell’s assertion—supported by the SCA—that the fundamental requirement for meaningful public participation could be applied retrospectively via the backdoor to cure a fatal illegality. While the minority judgment considered the multi-million dollar corporate investment, the majority correctly recognised that legitimising such an illegality would undermine our Constitution. The message from the Constitutional Court today is clear: people and their constitutional rights come before corporate profits.”

Adding to the significance of the ruling for frontline populations, Sherelee Odayar, Oil and Gas Campaigner at Greenpeace Africa, emphasised:

“For too long, frontline communities have been forced to bear the brunt of corporate exploitation without their consent. Today, the Constitutional Court affirmed that public participation is not a box-ticking exercise, but a mandatory protection of community dignity, cultural heritage and coastal livelihoods.”

We, as communities, did not know that we had the power to challenge the government until we met and worked with them. Without their support, the oil and gas would probably have already been drilled in these oceans, because even some of our own leaders—the people we look to in the areas where we live—were turning against us and offering our oceans to companies, saying that the oil and gas should be drilled. But because of the unity between coastal communities and our legal representatives, that did not happen. We say: Amandla! Power to the rights of communities! Amandla!” said Sazise Maxwell Pekayo, Applicant and Kei Mouth fisher

“Today’s judgment in the Constitutional Court is an important and historic victory not only for coastal communities, but for all South Africans who care about the environment, the rule of law, and the future of our children. Beyond the technical legal arguments, this case has always been about whether the interests and profits of multinational corporations override the rights of communities to effectively participate in decisions that will affect their livelihoods, their rights to a healthy environment, and their cultural and spiritual rights. The court affirmed that the right to public participation is not just about following a procedure and ticking boxes, but rather that it is about  placing the dignity of our people at the centre of developmental decisions that will affect them.” said Delme Cupido, Hub Director at Natural Justice.

The case was brought to the Constitutional Court by indigenous coastal communities, small-scale fishers, and environmental advocacy groups including Sustaining the Wild Coast, Natural Justice, Greenpeace Africa, and All Rise Attorneys for Climate and Environmental Justice. The applicants successfully argued that the original exploration right granted to Impact Africa (and later transferred in part to Shell) was unlawful due to a lack of meaningful public consultation and a failure to consider communities’ constitutional rights.

Yaoundé, 14 August 2026 — As Cameroon celebrates the extraordinary journey of the Indomitable Lionesses, who transformed an unexpected opportunity into a place in the final of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Greenpeace Africa believes their remarkable story carries a powerful lesson beyond football.

Just as the Lionesses seized a second chance and inspired an entire nation, Ebo Forest also deserves a second chance.

The Ebo forest is rich in primates, featuring four nocturnal species (Galagoides thomasi, Arctocebus calabarensis, Sciurocheirus alleni, and Perodicticus edwardsi) and ten diurnal species, including two African great apes (Gorilla gorilla spp. and Pan troglodytes ellioti), one drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus leucophaeus), one mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus), one colobus (Piliocolobus preussi), and five guenons (Allochrocebus preussi, Cercopithecus nictitans, C. mona, C. erythrotis, and C. pogonias). The Black and White monkey (Colobus guereza) is nowadays considered locally extirpated, and five other species are becoming rare or very rare.

Home to exceptional biodiversity found nowhere else on Earth and the ancestral homeland of the Banen people, Ebo remains under continued pressure from industrial logging despite its immense ecological, cultural and global importance. For Greenpeace Africa, the determination shown by the Lionesses reflects the resilience of the communities who have spent decades defending one of Cameroon’s most valuable forests.

“The Lionesses have reminded every Cameroonian that setbacks do not define our future. They believed in themselves, they persevered, and today they have inspired an entire nation. Ebo Forest deserves that same opportunity. We still have the chance to choose protection over destruction and to leave future generations a forest they can be proud of.” declared Richard Ndi,  Forest & Biodiversity CampaignerGreenpeace Africa

Stretching across approximately 140,000 hectares in Cameroon’s Littoral Region, Ebo Forest shelters globally threatened wildlife including gorillas, Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees, drills and numerous endemic species. Beyond its extraordinary biodiversity, it is also the ancestral home of the Banen communities, whose culture, identity and livelihoods remain inseparable from the forest. Despite repeated public concern, logging concessions continue to threaten this globally significant ecosystem.

For Banen traditional leaders, the future of Ebo is by far more than protecting trees.

“For the Banen people, Ebo is not just a forest. It is our history, our cultural identity, and a sacred heritage bequeathed to us by our ancestors. Just as the Lionesses never gave up on their dream, we will never give up on protecting this forest. We remain hopeful that Cameroon will choose the path of courage by granting Ebo the lasting protection it deserves.” declared His Majesty Victor Yetina , traditional Leader of the Banen People

Greenpeace Africa stresses that protecting Ebo is not incompatible with development. On the contrary, safeguarding one of the Gulf of Guinea’s richest forests strengthens Cameroon’s commitments to biodiversity conservation, climate resilience and community-centred development while protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.

“Great nations are distinguished not only by their sporting victories, but also by the decisions they make to protect their natural heritage. While we applaud the Lionesses for bringing glory to Cameroon, we also call on our leaders to take another historic step: giving the Ebo Forest a second chance by cancelling the permits granted to Greenfield SA, an agri-industrial palm oil company in Cameroon. By protecting Ebo today, Cameroon will protect its natural heritage, its communities, and its future.” concluded Richard Ndi.

As the nation rallies behind the Indomitable Lionesses ahead of the WAFCON final, Greenpeace Africa extends its heartfelt congratulations to the team for their extraordinary achievement.

May their courage, determination and resilience continue to inspire Cameroon on and off the pitch.

And just as the Lionesses proved that a second chance can change history, Greenpeace Africa calls on the Government of Cameroon to seize this historic opportunity to secure lasting protection for Ebo Forest—for nature, for communities and for generations to come.

Commenting on the government consultation on changing the ZEV mandate published today, Greenpeace UK’s head of politics Ami McCarthy (they/them) said:

“Any watering down of this policy would be a wrong turn for drivers, energy security, our climate and the economy. Electric vehicles are way cheaper to run than petrol and diesel cars, they don’t need foreign oil and the market is booming worldwide. Both the Iran war and this summer’s extreme weather have shown once again why we’re better off cutting our dependence on fossil fuels. This mandate is one of the most powerful policies we have to bring down planet-heating emissions, which is the only way to stop more deadly heatwaves in future. Burnham can’t fulfil his promise of tackling the cost of living crisis and reindustrialising Britain without the green economy. So why put on the brakes now?”

Reacting to the siege of three Palestinian families’ homes by Israeli settlers in the village of Qusra, southeast of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, said:  

The horrors unfolding in Qusra are far from an isolated incident. They reflect the relentless escalation and expansion of an accelerating and well-documented pattern of coordinated and strategic settler terror, enabled, backed and funded by the State of Israel, with the aim of displacing Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.  

Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International.

“The horrors unfolding in Qusra are far from an isolated incident. They reflect the relentless escalation and expansion of an accelerating and well-documented pattern of coordinated and strategic settler terror, enabled, backed and funded by the State of Israel, with the aim of displacing Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.  

“The three families under siege have been threatened, harassed and attacked by Israeli settlers from nearby outposts for several months. They have been confined to their homes since Sunday 9 August, are running out of food, and lack access to basic necessities, including running water. The homes targeted in these attacks are located in Area B of the West Bank, supposedly under Palestinian administrative control and Israeli military control, according to the classification of the Oslo Accords. Yet Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances trying to deliver food and water to the homes were also attacked by settlers. Despite these violent attacks, Israeli forces allowed the settlers to remain close proximity to the Palestinian families’ homes. 

“For far too long, the world has ignored the immense, unfathomable suffering of Palestinians being uprooted and erased from land they have inhabited for generations. The international community must stop treating such incidents as ‘isolated’ and instead hold Israel accountable.”  

Sources in Qusra told Amnesty International that the Israeli military forced two of the besieged families, in addition to six neighbouring families, to evacuate their homes for several hours on Thursday and used them as military outposts. As one resident put it, “instead of removing the attackers, the Israeli forces removed the attacked families, while allowing the settlers to stay all this time”. 

“Israel, as the occupying power, has a legal obligation to protect the Palestinian population under its control and not to stand by or worse, stand with settlers – while they lay siege to Palestinian homes and cut off families’ access to healthcare, electricity and water for days on end,”  

“States must end any form of direct and indirect support for Israel’s unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and its brutal system of apartheid, including its illegal settlement enterprise. This includes banning trade and investment that contribute to the maintenance of Israeli settlements, as well as ending any cooperation and assistance to entities and individuals involved in the settlement enterprise. States should also show no further hesitation in imposing targeted sanctions on senior Israeli officials allegedly responsible for international crimes, including the crimes against humanity of apartheid, and forcible transfer of Palestinians in the unlawfully occupied West Bank. It is imperative that States demonstrate unequivocal resolve by increasing protective measures for Palestinian communities at risk of displacement and using all their diplomatic and political leverage to secure the return of forcibly displaced Palestinians to their homes. Failure to act would further embolden Israel and state-backed Israeli settlers to continue their unlawful and violent actions against Palestinians, who are left unprotected and without any recourse to justice.”
