South Africa Plans Massive Oil Boost As US & Iran Battle Over Control Of Hormuz | Firstpost Africa
In response to escalating geopolitical conflicts and vulnerabilities along the Strait of Hormuz, South Africa’s Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has published a draft policy to bolster its strategic fuel reserves. This marks the nation's first major stockpiling initiative since the apartheid era. The ambitious plan mandates a 60-day state-held emergency reserve managed by the newly formed South African National Petroleum Company, totaling roughly 36 million barrels. Additionally, private licensed fuel wholesalers and importers must maintain a 21-day commercial reserve. This policy emerges as a critical shield for the economy, which has suffered from major domestic refinery closures and an illegal 2015 reserve sell-off. Officials warn that a severe fuel shortage could cost the country up to $ 60 million per day. The National Treasury is actively developing the necessary funding mechanisms. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.TIME STAMPS:
