From the links you posted, "Total, the operator of the licence, now plans to acquire 3D seismic data before drilling as many as four more exploration wells there. But it cautions that the operating environment offshore is tough.
“The region is quite difficult to operate,” Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne said on a conference call. “Huge waves, the weather isn’t very easy."
How can you claim a discovery was "confirmed" when they haven't even finished seismic data collection let alone drilled a single exploration well? I'm guessing you don't know a lot about the oil and gas business? BTW, even if this turns out as they hope is predominantly a gas find, not an oil find. A bit of a difference there, again for those of us with more than a passing familiarity with the field.
This is a long long long way from putting any money into the SA economy, not to mention the fact that oil money turns into a curse as often as not with these type of finds (how's Nigeria and Venezuela's currency doing again?). Just trying to inject some realism into some over-hyped hyperbole being spouted here.
