Umthombo wemikhumbi uthi i-Engen inciphise ukuhanjiswa kukaphethiloli eGqeberha naseThekwini ngenxa yengxabano yaseMiddle East ephazamisa imizila yemikhumbi.
Kulindeleke ukuthi intengo kaphethiloli inyuke ngoMbasa ka-2026, kanti uphethiloli uzonyuka ngo-R2.78 bese udizili unyuke ngo-R5.03 ilitha.
Abanikazi abathathu bendawo edayisa uphethiloli abavela ezindaweni ezahlukene bathi abakazitholi izaziso ezisemthethweni mayelana nokunciphisa ukuthengiswa kukaphethiloli. Kepha bakholelwa ukuthi ukushoda kungenzeka uma ukungqubuzana kwe-Middle East kuba kubi kakhulu.
Umthombo owazi kahle ukuhamba kwemikhumbi ogwini olusempumalanga yaseNingizimu Afrika uthi i-Engen inciphise ukuthengwa kukaphethiloli eGqeberha naseThekwini.
Umnikazi we-Engen, uVivo Energy, ubengeke akuqinisekise lokhu kodwa uthe inkampani isibhekile isimo futhi iyaqinisekisa ukuthi amakhasimende asengawuthola uphethiloli, kubika iMyBroadband.
Le mpi iphazamise izimakethe zikawoyela emhlabeni jikelele kanye nezindlela zokuthumela imikhumbi. Imikhumbi elinganiselwa ku-120, okuhlanganisa namathangi kawoyela, okwamanje ibambeke eduze kweStrait of Hormuz, kanti eminye imikhumbi engu-100 ilindile ngaphandle kwenye indawo.
Imvamisa, cishe amaphesenti angu-20 kawoyela otholakala emhlabeni wonke adlula kule ndawo. Eminye imikhumbi igwema umzila ngemuva kwemibiko yokuqhuma kwamabhomu nokuhlasela kwe-drone.
INingizimu Afrika ithembele kakhulu ekuthengisweni kukaphethiloli ohluziwe ovela eMiddle East. Ngo-2024, cishe amaphesenti angu-69 kaphethiloli nodizili wezwe avela e-Oman, e-United Arab Emirates, u-Bahrain naseSaudi Arabia.
Nakuba ukuthunyelwa kwe-Oman kwamanye amazwe kungathinteki kakhulu, amanye amazwe ehlangene ahlinzeka cishe ngo-40% kaphethiloli ohlolisisiwe waseNingizimu Afrika. I-India yiyona yodwa umphakeli omkhulu ngaphandle kwesifunda, ebalwa cishe ngo-27% ezinto ezithengwayo.
Izintengo zikawoyela sezivele zingaphezu kuka-$100 umphongolo ngamunye. Ukwenyuka kwentengo kaphethiloli okukhulu kulindeleke ngoMbasa ka-2026.
NgokweCentral Energy Fund, uphethiloli ungase ukhuphuke cishe ku-R2.60 kuya ku-R2.78 ilitha, kanti udizili wona ungase unyuke ngo-R4.91 uye ku-R5.03 ilitha.
Esithombeni esingenhla: Imoto egaraji likaphethiloli.
