With a week to go before the expected record fuel price hike, demand for diesel has surged in parts of Gauteng with reported bulk buying and stockpiling in some areas.
Motorists are bracing for steep increases in April, with projections of up to R4.74 for petrol and more than R7 for diesel, according to data from the Central Energy Fund.
At a petrol station in Roodepoort on the West Rand on Sunday, motorists joined long queues to fill up their vehicles while others brought containers to buy diesel in bulk.
