We firmly believe in the continuing growth of the South African economy and look forward to playing our part in supporting the growing energy demands of the market.”

We are excited to form this strategic alliance with a global energy company such as Montfort. Their expertise in supply and trading, together with their commitment to invest in the logistics and supply chain in South Africa, will enable us to have a strong presence in the market, and further strengthen our capabilities to supply the best fuels at the maximum value.”
