Panic at pumps as stations run dry

15 Jul 2011
It was panic at the pumps across the Tshwane region, with filling stations starting to run dry as the fuel and metal industry strikes dragged on on Thursday. Long queues formed at the dwindling number of garages that could help drivers with petrol as worried motorists filled their vehicles, uncertain how long the strike might last. According to the Fuel Retailers Association, at least 150 service stations in Gauteng and 50 in KwaZulu-Natal were without petrol on Thursday.
