Update (1548ET): As the worst violence in years plagues South Africa, the country’s largest oil refinery, Sapref, has shuttered operations “due to the civil unrest in the country and disruption of supply routes in and out of Kwazulu-Natal,” the company said.
“Due to the civil unrest in the country and disruption of supply routes in and out of Kwazulu-Natal, suppliers of materials critical to SAPREF operations communicated the suspension of deliveries to the refinery due to safety concerns for their staff and damages to their vehicles on the roads,” the statement read.
