Independent fuel retailers say loyalty cards are pushing them out of business
DURBAN – Independent fuel retailers are planning to approach the courts to force the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) to protect small fuel traders from unfair competition unleashed by established companies in the industry.
The retailers’ body, Fuel Retailers Association (FRA) this week said the rise of loyalty cards was pushing small retailers out of the business.
Chief executive Reggie Sibiya said the FRA wanted the courts to order the government to intervene.
