Western Cape govt assures enough fuel supply to meet demand


The Western Cape Government says there is a sufficient supply of fuel in the province to meet demand.  
This follows rising concerns about the impact of the Middle East conflict on fuel supply in the province.  
Premier Alan Winde says there is no cause for concern as there is more than enough fuel in reserve.  
He has called on fuel suppliers to immediately release full orders of fuel and warns that authorities will not tolerate any unethical practices.  
“We have received isolated reports of shortages, and we have Agri Western Cape that’s also received some shortages, specifically in the Garden Route and the West Coast District. We are having a look at this.  
“We are asking the fuel supply industry to check it out. We’re also going across the Agri system to check and see what it is. We just also want to put out a message that says it is unethical for suppliers to delay the delivery of fuel or to hoard or to hold back fuel supplies,” Winde says.
