Petrol runs out in Soweto
Consumers will no longer be able to buy petrol and diesel in containers
Meanwhile, consumers will no longer be able to buy petrol and diesel in containers after government enacted the prohibition of such sales.
The Fuel Retailers Association has welcomed this decision, saying it has been flagging the sale of fuel in containers as a hazard.
It has given assurance that there are sufficient fuel reserves in the country.
However availability at some service stations, in hot spot areas that were hit by the violent looting, paints a different picture.
