South Africa may introduce a petrol-price cap and ration the amount of fuel sold to motorists to mitigate the impact of rising oil prices stemming from the war in Ukraine. The measures being considered place South Africa among a number of other nations weighing steps to offset the impact of surging oil prices on their economies.
Refined fuel imports South Africa doesn’t produce crude and has been increasing fuel imports as it closes domestic refineries that won’t be able to meet evolving low-carbon standards. The government regulates fuel prices, which include a tax used to finance a fund to compensate those involved in accidents, along with other levies that make up about a third of what consumers pay. The National Treasury in the February Budget kept all taxes on fuel unchanged for the first time since 1990.
