There is no credit here for the Karoo anti fracking group. They seem to have to angles. One that there should be no fracking therefore no exploration and two that there is nothing there anywhere. They may or may not be right in the second but the only way to know is to pour millions into exploration which would be wasted if nothing there as Shell did in which case Shell and SA are the losers ( nothing to be gleeful about). But on the first if they are so sure it is a waste why oppose the exploration. 
The Karoo group are a disgrace. For purely selfish reasons, wrapped up in pseudo scientific waffle, they oppose what can only e good for SA if feasible.
