A lack of public consultation on the issue is one of the top concerns of those opposed to fracking.

Shabangu says consultations will begin soon, but with exploration licences set to be granted in the near future, many feel consultation now is too little too late.

Treasure Karoo Action Group chairperson Jonathan Deal says input should have happened before the moratorium was lifted.

Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu today briefed the media on the soon to be released government hydraulic fracturing investigation report.
