South Africa’s largest refinery has been temporarily shut down as the country struggles with mass looting and the worst violence in years, an industry official said.
A 50/50 joint venture between BP and Shell, SAPREF has a nameplate capacity of 180,000 barrels per day and accounts for around 35% of the refining capacity in Africa’s most industrialised economy, a net importer of petroleum products.
