SA’s biggest refinery, SAPREF will pause refinery operations no later than the end of March 2022 for an indefinite period.

The Automobile Association (AA) asks citizens to limit all non-essential travel, warns of looming fuel price shock.

SAPREF – the largest crude oil refinery in SA- announced that is temporarily shutting down its operations because of the ongoing violence in KZN. The Durban-based refinery produces 35% of the country’s fuel supply.

At least five hours of ‘highly toxic poisoning’ emanated from the South Durban refinery this week, environmentalists have alleged.
