Diesel dependency – SA’s last shield for energy security now at...
South Africa faces two main energy security risks: electricity reliability and diesel dependency. The Strait of Hormuz crisis has shown a critical shift. Diesel is no longer a guaranteed “last line of defence”. If an external shock, such as the Strait of Hormuz closure, occurred during load-shedding, pressure would rise sharply.
