The EFF criticises South Africa's new state-owned petroleum company, claiming it serves elite interests rather than benefiting citizens.

The Economic Freedom Fighters has expressed distrust about South Africa’s new state-owned petroleum company, saying the people of South Africa will not benefit from it.
