Do we have a full or 10 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: do we not? Because what government is telling us, and 11 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 2: remember we spoke to the Director General at the Energy 12 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Department about a week ago. What they're telling us seems 13 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 2: to be different to what you are telling us on 14 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: the ground. So I really want to try and figure 15 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: out what the situation is on the ground. What are 16 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: you experiencing, because it looks like South Africans are once 17 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 2: again being warned about potential full shortages, their concerns ranging 18 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: from supply disruptions and refinery challenges to logistical delays that 19 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: could affect the availability of petrol and diesel across parts 20 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: of the country. So we're already starting. It looks like 21 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: we're already starting to see any signs of strain with 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: some filling stations. As you've heard on eyewitness news, some 23 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: filling stations running out of certain grades of fuill even 24 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: others are still not available, which means you might find 25 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: petrol but not diesel, or you may find one grade 26 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: but not the other, which then forces you as a 27 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: motorist to shop around or adjust on the sport. So 28 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: are you one of those that got to a petrol 29 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: station and you were told to try at the next 30 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: what's the situation on the ground, what are you experiencing? 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: Please share that with us on one one eight eight 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: three oh seven oh two.

Kimi Antonelli from Mercedes won 47 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: the race. He really looks set to win the championship 48 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: this season if he continues on this winning streak. He 49 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: dropped down six positions on the opening lab, which is 50 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: quite stressful, but he still managed to recover and win 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: the race. He is such an incredible driver. And remember 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: he's only nineteen years old. Can you believe it? But 53 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: he's really doing well. But yeah, Mercedes really has a 54 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: pretty fast card this season.

Yesterday he confirmed that he's 58 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: considering retiring from Formula One at the end of the season. 59 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: What do you think about that?

Hi Clement, good morning. I'll 79 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: get a good weekend. 80 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 5: Yes, some petrol stations have already started hiking crisis. There's 81 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 5: an astron on Ribby Street and I've been using their 82 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 5: petrol station for almost like ten years because the diesel 83 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 5: is usually cheaper than most The last time that diesel 84 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 5: was like eighteen seventy something per later, and about two 85 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: weeks ago I went to fill up and they're already 86 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: hiked to twenty four ninety nine. 87 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 2: So they hiked mid month. 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 5: And they're potentially going to hike it again on Wednesday. 89 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 5: So I just started going to the filing station that's 90 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 5: closest to me because then the price they actually was like, 91 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 5: it's just Assul filling station and there is about twenty 92 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 5: one rant something and I've been able to fill up 93 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 5: all the time. There's no limits yet at that, but 94 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 5: years other petrol stations have been filling up. There's also 95 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 5: an Astronomy Delta fading park. They also hided up their 96 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: prices in late months before the official hike. 97 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: Thank you, Jess. 98 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 6: Good morning, Clement. I don't want to say where we are, 99 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 6: but we are in an agricultural area. We ran out 100 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 6: of diesel on Monday already, and the local suppliers up 101 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 6: to his price to twenty six rand eighty I think 102 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 6: it is now it's close to twenty seven rand a liter. 103 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 6: It's really expensive. Due to people doing work with their tractors, 104 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 6: they need containers, and I think there was some panic 105 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 6: buying happening. Anyway. 106 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: Sure, good morning guys. Something. 107 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 7: I've just stopped here at Shell San Dan's Gardens on 108 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 7: Katherine street in Santon. I was able to full a 109 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 7: full tank. My tank was on reserve and they allowed 110 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 7: me to full. It came to almost forty leters. So 111 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 7: everything good here. But they are also concerned about the 112 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 7: amount of traffic at the pumps tonight and tomorrow. So 113 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 7: I guess it is working here in Sentin. 114 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, thank you so much for that. Please keep 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: keep sharing your experiences. What are you seeing on the ground, 116 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: because there seems to be a mismatch. The Department of 117 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: Energy tells us non need to panic, don't panic, buy 118 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: diesel or well because it's all going to get sorted soon. 119 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: So we're not at a point where we're running out. 120 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: But what we're hearing is happening at petrol stations. It's 121 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: a completely different story. So please keep sharing your experiences 122 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: with us, and maybe that also helps our government listening 123 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: to what you're experiencing on the ground to know how 124 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: to better respond. Colin, Oh, that's Colin. Now, who's calling 125 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: us from Pretoria? Colin high shop shop man, go ahead, sweet? 126 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 8: Isn't it a case of fearmongering? Obviously if people go 127 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 8: to a garage and they say we'll put up the tank, 128 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 8: and then the guys turn around and say, now you 129 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 8: can only have half. You're obviously going to think there 130 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 8: is a shortage, But isn't it because the guys are 131 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 8: being unscrupulous and saying, Okay, I'm not going to give 132 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 8: you half a tank because the other half. Let me 133 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 8: keep it until the past increase and then I can 134 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 8: make more money. 135 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 136 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, because I was changing to my brother in law 137 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 8: yesterday and he knows of a couple of places that 138 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 8: store diesel, and then they're basically resellers. They've all filled 139 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 8: up their underground tanks with I don't know how many 140 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 8: hundreds of thousands of liters as soon as the clock 141 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 8: strikes over to the next month at the end of 142 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 8: the in the beginning of the week, I mean in 143 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 8: the middle of the week. Now they've made an extra 144 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 8: one hundred and sixty thousand per tank, but doing nothing 145 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 8: just by keeping the decal back. 146 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: Wow, Colin, I think you're onto something there, my friend, 147 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. 148 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 8: You guys must check it out. 149 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it really sounds like it. I mean, it 150 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: really makes commercial sense for these petrol station, doesn't it. 151 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: And that's why maybe you start seeing this rationing of 152 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: diesel of these other grades of petrol. Okay. What we'll 153 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: also try to do is get the Department of Energy 154 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: because that's really, really, really really could get out of control. 155 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: A lot of people seem to be concerned, but petrol 156 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: stations as well are either one trying to ration because 157 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: they don't want to run out too quick. Oh, as 158 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: Colin says, possibly because they're waiting for the price to 159 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: go up so they can make extra money and more 160 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: money from from selling you that. Bija, you are in 161 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: so it to what are you seeing your side?

So what 171 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: does this mean? So, as I said, we're going to 172 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: try and get a hold of the Energy department. We'll 173 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: try to get an association as well that represents these 174 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: petrol stations to try and get a sense of what's 175 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: happening on the ground, because if really we are entering 176 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: a period where rationing has begun, where legitimately we need 177 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: to be concerned, then our government needs to lead on 178 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: that front, because otherwise we are all going to panic 179 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: if there is no messaging, if there's just word of 180 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: mouth of oh, petrol is running out. So what you 181 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: need is a government that possibly even call out a 182 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: press briefing, speak to the citizens of this country and 183 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: explain what kind of measures you're going to be putting 184 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: in place. Are we at a point where we need 185 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: to worry and what do they need to do? Assure 186 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: us that you've got this under control. Otherwise, yeah, we 187 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: are going to get to a point where people end 188 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: up panic buying. It's twenty one minutes now after nine o'clock. 189 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: Let's go to your what'sapps on seven seven or two 190 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: one seven or two, your voice, your station. 191 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: Your underline of the toll with clements and seven eighteen. 192 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 10: High Clement and the team. With regards to a diesel 193 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 10: price in South Africa, retainers, they've got their right to 194 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 10: increase or decrease the diesel price in their stations. Unlike 195 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 10: petrol is regulated by a government, but diesel is it's 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 10: it's it's different. So those people are those filling stations 197 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 10: that are increase their prices, they're not actually breaking the law. 198 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 10: Diesel is regulated at the station level. So if ever, 199 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 10: and you'll see diesel, it's a different price in other 200 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 10: in different stations. Yeah, so it's they're not actually breaking 201 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 10: the law. But patrol is regulated by at the government 202 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 10: level level from a report thanks high element. 203 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 11: So the government keeps saying that there's no fu shortage, 204 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 11: and I had I experienced it yesterday when I went 205 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 11: to go fill lab and a local petrol stations and 206 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 11: then there are eight pumps in total, but only two 207 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 11: are working and they only had grade ninety three and 208 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 11: anomally use ninety five. So I had to then put 209 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 11: in ninety three because then I was analys I was 210 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 11: going to be driving around and I already had very 211 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 11: limited patrol and the point I wanted to fill up, 212 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 11: but I had to just put in. 213 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 4: Hundred trands of their amount because I. 214 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 11: Don't know even the effect of all what the difference 215 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 11: between any that's a car. But yeah, so that's the 216 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 11: situation on the ground. But different. 217 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 12: So yet I lament on the issue of patrol or diesel. 218 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 12: Here in Blue Fintain, we've got one outlet that normally 219 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 12: sells petroleum, so that will be your diesel and your paraffin. 220 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 12: So this has been an issue of long que since 221 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 12: from last week. But today when I passed, the Q 222 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 12: was saving more than what I saw last week. It's very, very, 223 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 12: very long, so you can see that there's a big, 224 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 12: big issue in terms of the diesel, in terms of 225 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 12: the paraffine that people are looking for before the real 226 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 12: increment happens. 227 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure on other. 228 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 12: Glague if they've already hiked their places, but so fast 229 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 12: we could I have in anything or I haven't seen anything. 230 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. 231 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 12: Can I just thank you comment, your voice, your station. 232 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: Your open line. 233 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: On seven teen morning, Clement, I'm sure Louis, I don't 234 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: regrest living now they've got the. 235 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 13: Fastest cous on track now argueable the fastest COSM track 236 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 13: at the moment, I'm sure you regrets. He hasn't said 237 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 13: it out loud, but he's plain to see he's struggling. 238 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: That fair nor nobody. That's the thing. Hey, and I 239 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 2: suppose that's a beauty of Formula One.

So if you're leaving Ferrari to go to 243 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: my Cities, you're leaving Mercedes to go to McLaren. Whatever 244 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: team you go with, it could be a big gamble 245 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: either you join a team that's gonna have a fast 246 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: car or possibly one of the slowest cars. But I 247 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: hear you, I bet, I bet he's regretting because that's 248 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: Mescedi's car is bloody fast. Hey, especially on the straight, 249 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: it's just so fast. And if they perform consistently at 250 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: the rate they're performing now, I'm telling you Mercedes really 251 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: is on pole to become the constructors Championship. But also, 252 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: Kimmi Antonelli, that's the youngest ever leading man on the 253 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: leaderboard who could win the twenty twenty sixth Formula One Championship. 254 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him because he actually deserves it.

You've already heard what WN is reporting. 310 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: They've gone and visited a number of petrol stations, So 311 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: it looks like we may sit potentially with a problem 312 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 2: in front of us. Government tells us we have enough 313 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 2: stock in the country to avoid a shortage, but then 314 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 2: experts have actually been warning even before a week ago 315 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: that if this conflict is prolonged, government may be compelled 316 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 2: even at some point to reintroduce drastic conservation measures. Is 317 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: that even an option. Government was telling us we are 318 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: not there yet, but at this rate things are going. 319 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: They may need to just communicate, you know, more effectively. 320 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: Maybe call it press briefing, but make sure that you 321 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: just just share as much information as you can to 322 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: avoid a situation where we as the citizens, cost the 323 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: problem ourselves with the panic buying, because there's just not 324 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: clarity on what our situation really is.

Our journalists have gone and 335 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: visited a number of petrol stations, which shows that there 336 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: are certain grades of petrol that are not available in 337 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: some instances. Diesel has been increased. In some instances, diesel 338 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: is not found at some of the petrol stations and 339 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 2: because those stations have decided to just ration their diesel 340 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: for whatever reason. Colin called Alien suggested it could be 341 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 2: because they're actually waiting for the price to go up 342 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: so they can sell it at a more expensive price. 343 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: What are you seeing though on the ground, Because we've 344 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: had the energy Department on the show about a week ago. 345 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 2: They've indicated that there's no reason to be panic buying, 346 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: so you don't need to rush to the petrol stations. 347 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 2: Even though we told their cues at some of the 348 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: petrol stations, government says, don't worry. We haven't reached that 349 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: stage yet. We have enough stock in the country to 350 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: avoid a shortage. That's the messaging that's come from government, 351 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: But a number of experts have worn that the minute 352 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: this conflict prolongs and government realizes that the shortages may 353 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: start quickly quickly getting to our pockets in terms of 354 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: that effect, then they are going to make a number 355 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: of announcements. In fact, some experts are warning that we 356 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: could be dealing with a situation where the closing service 357 00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: at petrol stations after six pm or on weekends that 358 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: gets affected, or you dropped the national speed limit or 359 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: and this echos steps taken before. Remember the many years 360 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: ago there have been cases where when this crisis reaches us, 361 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: the speed limit then gets reduced to about eighty kilometers 362 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: per hour. So there are a number of options that 363 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: government can look at when they want to introduce drastic 364 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 2: conservation measures. But we are not there yet. My worry 365 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: is we are going to push ourselves there by panic 366 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 2: buying when government consistently says do not worry. So what 367 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: are you seeing on the ground? Oh one one eight 368 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: eight three oh seven oh two. We're taking your whatsaps 369 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: as well on seven two, seven oh two one seven 370 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: oh two. I'm also asking about your reflections of the 371 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 2: Japanese Grand Prix yesterday. It was also a weekend of jazz. 372 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: If you're a jazz lover like myself, you probably attended 373 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: the Montreal Jazz Festival like I did, or you went 374 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: and attended the Cape Town Jazz Festival. How did you 375 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: find it either of the two jazz festivals? Your calls 376 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: and What'sapp's coming through? Level? You are in Kugar's doll. 377 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: What do you want to say about this issue of 378 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: panic buying? Good morning? 379 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 17: How are you, Kellen? 380 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: I'm al right, Level, go ahead. 381 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 18: Yeah. 382 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 17: I was listening to the guys and their phone in 383 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 17: and trying to make sense. 384 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 19: Of what they're saying. 385 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 17: Firstly, I was under the impression that petrol stations they 386 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 17: don't make money from petrol or diesel. They make money 387 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 17: from what they sell. So if the guys are going 388 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 17: to keep the diusit the patrol outside and customers can't 389 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 17: buy because that's you're waiting for the press to go up. 390 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 17: I don't think it makes sense because if they don't 391 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 17: make money from that product, how is it going to 392 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 17: make a difference that there are things I can pay 393 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 17: five friends more. Oh that's number one, number two in 394 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 17: terms of clinic buying. You're just gonna be ideal if 395 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 17: somebody that works at the petrol station was able to 396 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 17: have an input on this one. Because normady, I'm going 397 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 17: to make an example myself. Normally I would buy diesel 398 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 17: for five hundred a week. I know it will cover 399 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 17: me for my trip for a week. But since I 400 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 17: understood that there's gonna be prices that are gonna go up, 401 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 17: I make sure I'm maintaining my tank on full tank 402 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 17: instead of buying five thound a week. So question is 403 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 17: how many of us are doing that now? And if 404 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 17: I'm a petrol station and I normally have maybe ten 405 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 17: loads a week of diesel, now people are feeling their 406 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 17: tanks because they don't want to run out, then the 407 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 17: petrol station will be able to say I am bringing 408 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 17: in more tanks than I normally do, or I am 409 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 17: running out because I normally sell this much, but right 410 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 17: now I'm selling more than I normally sell. So I 411 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 17: think you might be a number of things that are 412 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 17: causing this problem. And yees, partially, it might also be 413 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 17: as buying more than we normally buy and then petrol 414 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 17: stations running out because they don't normally stock as much 415 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 17: as they do because you're afraid of the fire friend 416 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 17: in or the landrente increased that you guys are talking 417 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 17: about on the radio or the government is talking about. 418 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 17: I don't think it makes sense for any petrul station 419 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 17: to say I'm going to hook the patrol or the 420 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 17: dignit and wait for the price increase. 421 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 18: I don't know. 422 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no level. Thank you so much for that contribution. 423 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: It's so fascinating. You know, in school you study about 424 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 2: you know, supply and demand in your economics, and you 425 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: are now seeing it literally in full action. Hey, economics 426 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: at full play is basically what we're seeing here. What 427 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: is it going to lead to? Are we going to 428 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: cause challenges by panic buying already? And what do we 429 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: do because in the absence of any effective messaging from government, 430 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: people are going to panic And as I say, said, 431 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: government has been communicating. I'm just not sure if they've 432 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: done so effectively. I mean on a crisis like this, 433 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: where there's a world, I mean there's a world that's 434 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: currently taking place which is proving to bring about a 435 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 2: number of disruptions. You want to call you call it 436 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 2: press briefing. Make sure you over communicate, rather over communicate 437 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: than ensure an absence of your own narrative and your 438 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: messaging a government, because people then are going to find 439 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: other ways to sort themselves out. U Bague. You are 440 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: in Pretoria. Good morning, good one in plement. 441 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 9: How are you? 442 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: I'm all right, man, go ahead, excellent. 443 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 20: I think what we're witnessing right now is just a 444 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 20: reflection of a rational market as a consumer pump, and 445 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 20: the pump is when you want this money. So think 446 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 20: of a business as a rational actor. They're going to 447 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 20: hold onto their stocks until the price goes up so 448 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 20: that they make an extra. 449 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 2: It's just simple. 450 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 20: It's we're all rational actors when it comes to money 451 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 20: and the economy. Think of as rational actors. 452 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: Too, just as we are as consumers. Hey, yes, sir, yeah, 453 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: no true, Thank you so much for a col man. 454 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 2: That's that's exactly what's taking place. Yeah, what's ups on? 455 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 2: Oh seven two seven or two and seven or two 456 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: morning Clement. 457 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 21: So just Russell here, just an update from the UK. 458 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 21: So we filled up my wife's car on Saturday afternoon 459 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 21: at a local Tesco garage and effectively they were out 460 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 21: of different grades of fuel there as well, so it 461 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 21: doesn't seem to be just an essay problem. Not sure 462 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 21: they were just area in but I don't think so, 463 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 21: because it's the first time we've ever experienced that in 464 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 21: the UK. We've been here for nearly four years now, 465 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 21: so and we live in Scotland. So and then just 466 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 21: on the Formula One very quickly. I don't think any 467 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 21: driver would ever turn down a draft for Ferrari, So Lewis, 468 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 21: I don't think we'll ever regret moving to Ferrari, and 469 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 21: then on the Mercedes thing as well. If he didn't 470 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 21: leave Messides, he probably wouldn't be there now anyway, because 471 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 21: they do move along with team to move along with 472 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 21: younger drivers as well, so chances are yeah, if you 473 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 21: get your opportunity, you'll always trivel Ferrari. 474 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 22: Good morning, Clement, Good morning Clement. This is uncle Charles 475 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 22: from Pretoria. Clement. I'm working at tracking industry. So what 476 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 22: I've realized is whenever my drivers have to go and 477 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 22: refuel where we usually refill, that girl told that there 478 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 22: isn't diesel. We had to even drive to as far 479 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 22: as Joe back from Pretoria to go and refill the 480 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 22: truck day. So now I'm asking myself that if you 481 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 22: are saying it's the supply that's affected and not the 482 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 22: total availability of petrol, then how a feeling station not 483 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 22: getting at that diesel because it only started recently. Now, 484 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 22: it only started recently. Word from the government might be 485 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 22: that it is you're not affected. I'm not sure if 486 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 22: it's because of panic buying, but I think I think 487 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 22: it is that it affecting, affecting us the side. The 488 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 22: situation is not as relaxed as they say. 489 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 23: Morning Morning, Mary Major morning and your team they are Clement, 490 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 23: but may we you know, we're struggling. Yeah, around mid 491 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 23: and I remember I was a just share on Saturday. 492 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 23: I wanted ninety five, it was not there and I 493 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 23: was empty. I ended up putting on ninety three, which 494 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 23: do not even last younger because I'm a poor driver. 495 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, government would. 496 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 23: Always saying something different from what we see on the ground. 497 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 23: Remember they don't always see what we see when because 498 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 23: they are always in their blue cars, they don't see 499 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 23: the surf, the suffering that we go through, the challenges 500 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 23: that we meet, they don't meet them. I mean, this 501 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 23: is not new. This is not only about patrol.

Jessica hear from the 526 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 4: East Grand So last night at around a PM, I 527 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 4: did attempt to fill up my car and this was 528 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 4: at a PEP garage in the Rainfall area and I 529 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 4: was told that they did not have any petrol at all. 530 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 25: They only had diesel. Yeah, so I currently am sitting 531 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 25: at about three days worth of petrol. But I'm currently 532 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 25: at a a BP, not a BP, but a total 533 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 25: garage in the Claypool area and they do have petrol. 534 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 25: So yeah, it seems to be inconsistencies across the different garages. 535 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 26: By morning, Clement, it's to Touania from term Liza. I 536 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 26: think I agree with the other callous. I think the 537 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 26: garages are holding back on the patrol so they can 538 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 26: celitrate a higher price when it goes up. And our 539 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 26: bituaried as well was having the transport industry. So this 540 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 26: is really going to hit us. 541 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 2: Hart Man, play me moreman. 542 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 27: Floris here from the beautiful Western Cape and welcome to 543 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 27: our province.

Reginald, you are in Malder's drift. 555 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 8: Good morning morning, Temanzon. 556 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 19: Just some insights. Do you work in the trucking industry 557 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 19: and all that. So, based on the information that we've received, 558 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 19: there is tankers at the harbor, but they're not ready 559 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 19: to supply the chains as obviously the new price has 560 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 19: not been affected as yet. So from a transportation logistics area, 561 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 19: the bolt suppliers are running out but from a passenger perspective, 562 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 19: for the general consumer, there is still fuel around. They 563 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 19: definitely feel around, it's just on. 564 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 24: A bulk and logistics perspective. 565 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: I see. Okay, cool, but are those still you're saying 566 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: that those are still stuck at the harbor. 567 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 19: Yes, so they already at the harbor, but they're not 568 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 19: supplying fuel ads yet due to the new fuel profsing 569 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 19: adjustments because leaderships were loaded at the new right instead 570 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 19: of the previous right. 571 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: I see, I see, Reginald, thank you so much for 572 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 2: that calling us from Malta's drift, and also just check 573 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 2: to my guest after ten o'clock and get them to 574 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: expand more on that. Reginald is in the trucking industry 575 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 2: and says the price adjustments, the issue there is that 576 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 2: you know there's full, but that bulk supply is actually 577 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 2: what's not available yet. But as a consumer, fuel is 578 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 2: in supply, so there haven't been lots of challenges there. Jr. 579 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 2: You are in Centurre and I'm told you own a 580 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 2: petrol station.
