We are aware that some motorists, especially kombi drivers, skip queues and cause violence at fuel stations. We urge them to desist from such behaviour. We appeal to all motorists to exercise patience and to respect each other in fuel queues. All those who commit offences at service stations are not immune to arrest and prosecution. They will be arrested. Such cases must be reported to the police to allow the law to take its course. Most operators seek our services when they foresee violence upon receiving fuel deliveries. We encourage them to continue doing so to prevent cases of violence.
