The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, has warned petrol stations in South Africa about the concerning trend of selling contaminated diesel. Random testing will be increased to tackle diesel adulteration.

The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, has warned petrol stations in South Africa that more random testing will be carried out following a concerning trend of stations selling contaminated diesel.

The DMRE uncovered at least 70 filling stations across the country selling contaminated diesel watered down with illuminating paraffin. This is because paraffin is not subjected to the sizeable taxes and levies that apply to fuel, and unlike petrol, diesel prices are not regulated. Focusing more on diesel samples than other fuels will achieve the foregoing extension to cover more service stations.
