Yesterday, concerns arose that Cape Town motorists may fall victim to the fuel worker strikes that are plaguing other parts of the country, prompting many people to fill up their tanks before Western Cape pumps started to run dry. However, the Fuel Retailers Association has said today that it does not foresee major shortages impacting the province.
A strike by Ceppwawu workers this week, means fuel is still not reaching filling stations in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. While there have apparently not been any official reports of the strike affecting the Cape’s fuel supplies, there was news circulating on Twitter last night that certain Cape Town stations in Hout Bay and Fish Hoek had run out of petrol.
For the record, there was plenty of fuel at the Shell Parktown Service Station in Gardens earlier today. Let us know if you know of any affected stations.
