90-day deadline for South Africa to solve its petrol crisis

South Africa has been given a 90-day deadline to produce a public plan to address its fuel reserve crisis, which has seen the country's domestic refining capacity collapse in recent years, leaving only 6.9 million barrels - enough for just 30 days of refining at current capacity. The Automobile Association of South Africa is pushing for a comprehensive review of the fuel crisis, including a public review of the basic fuel price formula and a re-examination of transport allowances.
