Even if the retail fuel industry is deregulated, to prevent large-scale job losses the government will not allow fuel stations to become self-service

Official notes that government will not allow petrol attendants to be done away with in the retail fuel sector as this would put thousands out of workDeregulation of the retail fuel industry will happen over time and will come with restrictions, the department of mineral resources & energy has said. It would include preventing service stations from doing away with petrol attendants by converting to a self-service model.

Maqubela said the record fuel prices in SA were not because of levies and taxes but were due to the high price of oil, and that the outlook for lower oil prices was bleak. In a new round of sanctions against Russia, announced by the EU earlier in June, the region said it would cut Russian oil imports by sea, or about two-thirds of imports from Russia.
