Introducing Working Toward a Nuclear-Powered Africa With Princy Mthombeni from Fissionary. Follow the show: Fissionary In much of Africa, the question isn't how to optimize the grid. It's how to build one at all. Princy Mthombeni grew up in a rural South African village without electricity until she was 14 and that experience shapes how she talks about energy today. As founder of Africa4Nuclear, Princy makes the case that nuclear isn't just a power source for the continent; it's a path to jobs, medicine, clean water, and so much more. Jordan talks with Princy about which African countries are moving fastest on nuclear, why the "just energy transition" framing misses the mark for developing nations, and why South Africa's own 40-year nuclear success story deserves way more attention than it gets.
