Diesel tanker stolen from Pinetown logistics company, amid fuel security concerns

Nkomazi Logistics confirmed to the POST on Monday that the tanker had been stolen. They image, which quickly gained traction online, prompted questions about fuel security and criminal activity linked to the ongoing fuel crisis. The incident comes as South Africans brace themselves for a steep fuel price increase, driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and a weakening rand. Commenting on the social media post about the theft, Louw Bertus said: "This kind of crime will increase in the future with rising fuel prices. Nobody will turn down an opportunity to buy this fuel at a greatly reduced price from the thieves in order to save money."
