The deputy-director general of Petroleum and Petroleum Products Regulation, Tseliso Maqubela, said the crude losses would impact on the 2.7 million litres of petrol a year that Sapref produced.
“When the riots broke out, there was an impact on the movement of the workers to and from Sapref which constituted 35% of the South African refinery capacity. “The supply and logistic disruption of highways to and from posts on Durban posed a threat to the mining industry as it was difficult to transport explosive materials used in the mines,” said Maqubela.
He said the impact on the disruption to the mineral sales would be clear when the department reported its July statistics, but added that jobs had been affected in the sector. He believed, however, that those jobs would be recovered once the fuel stations had recovered.Cash in-transit operations were suspended to and from the retail service stations, said Maqubela.
“The estimated cost of the damage to the retail service station is R281 127 million and about 1 579 jobs were impacted temporarily.”
