Fear of countrywide fuel shortages – Food security may be jeopardisedThe fear of countrywide fuel shortages may not be completely unfounded.
Food security could also be jeopardised, because it is currently planting time in the summer-sowing areas. Seeing as both agriculture and the generation of electricity depend on diesel, shortages could result in the two being weighed up against each another.Thus far, petrol sales are predominantly being restricted.
