The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources says there’s no immediate risk of fuel shortages in South Africa.
The department’s message follows alarms raised about impending global fuel shortages.
The escalating conflict in the Middle East is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets and has sent crude oil prices soaring.
To look at South Africa’s fuel market and supply outlook, we are now joined by the Director for Fuel Pricing Mechanism at the Department of Mineral & Petroleum Resources, Robert Maake, and Energy economist Lungile Mashele.

Why don't we get oil from Nigeria
Trump is lunatic. Why he moved his stupid nevys 1000 km away front the gulf. He is skared himself. Old stupid man.
Can I believe this very very big shot?
Go Pres Trump you are the best in History
The goverment should take actions to give us the lowest price for fuel and not hijacked the prices
🤣🙄 – Really – When did Trump say he wasn't interested in ending the war because the USA was making money?
it's kind of ironic that the anc having pushed their support for the Iranian regime hasn't seen us receiving an uninterupted supply, and we're able to bank on the infrastructural investments of the 'old South Africa'
Why not building a SASOL 3?
Why can't South Africa negotiate with Iran to allow South african ships carrying oil to pass….The Chinese & Indian ships carrying oil is allowed to pass.
Our brilliant thieving anc government sold off our oil reserves years ago and stole the money.
For some reason this guy gives me the feeling of his hiding something 😂😂😂
Please drill so we can be energy independent.
We have natural gas and possibly oil.
They always say that until we are head over heals with the problem
The Department does not know what it is doing, and THEY ARE NOT PREPARING!
We have to unite Africa especially south Africa stop disturbing black people, stop oppression on black people
Most people don’t know the real reason behind this conflict. I explained it in 8 minute on my channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eABvcCud62I&t=1s
Who signed the Paris Climate accord that brought the stupid environmental laws that closed the refineries? The ANC. Who brought us all the nationalisation policies which prevents companies from getting licenses to operate without bribing all the comrades? The ANC. Go sit in a meeting for a water license, a mining license, try that, see how corrupt the cadres are.
who cares 😂😂😂😂😂what you lot fools think😂😂😂😂
you lot could not build a 2 story house in a 100 years 😂😂😂and that ANC cadre mannas😂what a yoke
Now they have an excuse for the CBDC Digital Enclosure
The "Sobering" truth is that as of March 2026, the South African grid is facing a Mathematical Paradox: for the first time in history, the total contribution from the country's 8 million taxpayers (R845 billion) is no longer enough to even cover the salary bill of the 1.3 million public sector workers (R853 billion).
The government are the biggest profiteer of fuel in south Africa cut the fuel tax go look at how much tax is on fuel all to fund anc pockets
IF THERE IS NO SHOTAGE OF FUEL IN SOUTH AFRICA WHY THE FUEL PRICES GOES UP
ANC is conceiving new plans to rob us through fuel
