Suid-Afrikaners staal hulle vir \u2019n moontlike brandstofskok in April. Indien verwagte prysstygings \u2019n werklikheid word, sal dit na verwagting die skerpste styging in brandstofpryse in die land se geskiedenis wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens die prys van ru-olie, wat sedert die begin van die voortslepende milit\u00eare konflik in die Midde-Ooste met sowat 40% gestyg het, en die rand\/dollar-wisselkoers, kan die pryse van diesel en petrol moontlik onderskeidelik met R7 en R4 per liter styg.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDie brandstofprys raak elke aspek van die lewe, selfs toerisme.

Vrese dat die land selfs moontlik binnekort \u2019n ernstige brandstoftekort in die gesig staar, word nou deur sommige kenners geopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weslander het by sakekamers en landbouorganisasies gaan kers opsteek oor die impak van di\u00e9 verwagte prysstygings op Weskussers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gary Badenhorst, voorsitter van die Weskus Sakekamer, hou die vinnig-stygende prys van Brent-ruolie beduidende gevolge in vir plaaslike ekonomie\u00eb in die Saldanhabaai-gebied, wat afhanklik is van vervoer, nywerheid, vissery en hawebedrywighede. \u201cEk is \u2019n veteraan van die bedryf en het nog nooit ervaar wat nou op ons afstorm nie,\u201d s\u00ea Badenhorst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy verduidelik dat Saldanha \u2019n hawe- en nywerheidsdorp is waar ekonomiese bedrywighede afhanklik is van die vervoer van goedere per pad, see en spoor. \u201cWanneer brandstofpryse styg, neem kostes van goedere en dienste toe. Dit raak logistieke kostes direk en lei tot verhoogde skeeps- en visserybedryfskostes. Kleinhandelaars betaal meer vir aflewerings, boere en produsente betaal meer om produkte te vervoer, en ekstra kostes word weer aan verbruikers oorgedra. Taxi-tariewe en pendelkostes neem toe, en gesinne het uiteindelik minder beskikbare en besteebare inkomste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Badenhorst se kommer oor die verwagte prysstygings word ook gedeel deur ander sakekamers in die Weskus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Johnny Da Silva, voorsitter van die Velddrif Sakekamer, is besighede uiters bekommerd oor die verwagte brandstofpryse. \u201cBrandstof is nie net \u2019n vervoersaak nie. Duurder diesel en petrol raak uiteindelik die pryse van alle produkte en dienste in die dorp,\u201d s\u00ea Da Silva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy beklemtoon dat die land se afhanklikheid van ingevoerde energiebronne kommerwekkend is. \u201cDit beteken dat internasionale onstabiliteit vinnig \u2019n plaaslike sakeprobleem word. Ek ondersteun dus hernieubare energiebronne soos sonkragprojekte, wat die gebied se afhanklikheid van wisselvallige globale brandstofmarkte kan verminder tot voordeel van besighede, werksgeleenthede en verbruikers in Velddrif.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Stoan Bartel, voorsitter van die Sakekamer in St Helenabaai, is di\u00e9 sakekamer ook uiters bekommerd oor die moontlike uitwerking van \u2019n skerp brandstofstyging op plaaslike ondernemings en die bre\u00ebr ekonomie. \u201cDaar is \u2019n risiko dat voortgesette brandstofprysstygings aktiwiteite in die plaaslike ekonomie negatief kan be\u00efnvloed. Stygende vervoerkoste plaas weer druk op verbruikers, wat weer lei tot \u2019n afname in besteding in sektore soos eetplekke, kleinhandel en toerisme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die verwagte dieselprysstyging is ook slegte nuus vir die land se landbou-, bosbou-, vissery- en mynbousektore.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDie visbedryf in die Weskus gaan veral geraak word deur duurder dieselpryse. Foto: Danie Hefers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Volgens SP Tredoux, streekbestuurder van Agri Wes-Kaap in die Weskus, is die moontlike styging kommerwekkend vir die landbou. \u201cBoere word reeds tans lamgel\u00ea deur verskeie faktore in die ekonomie, en diesel is een daarvan. Bek- en Klouseer is reeds \u2019n uitdaging, terwyl die huidige hittegolf wat skaapboere se lammers raak, ook eise aan boere stel. Melkplase gebruik diesel vir hulle kragopwekkers wanneer nodig. Indien die moontlike styging realiseer, kan \u2019n boer wat sowat 100 000 liter diesel per jaar gebruik, \u2019n styging van meer as \u2019n halfmiljoen rand in sy dieseluitgawes verwag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tredoux noem dat die stygende koringprys en dieselrabat \u2019n ligpunt vir boere bied. \u201cBoere sal egter moet kyk waar hulle kan bespaar. Alles ry so op mekaar. Ons kan nie n\u00f3g houe vat nie. Om onder hierdie blou dak te boer, is nie maklik nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
