#KZNshutdown WATCH: Scores of motorists are queuing at South Coast Ultra City (Umgababa). This is one of the few fuel stations that are operational (in eThekwini) following #looting sprees that have affected various businesses in KZN. @NkoRaphael

More motorists appear to be joining these lengthy queues. Petrol attendants have told EWN that no one is allowed to purchase fuel costing more than R500 in a bid to ensure fairness. However, there are fears that not all motorists will get fuel here today. @NkoRaphael

WATCH: It’s been less than 5 mins since a van selling bread has been stationed here. A loaf of bread is going for R20.00 each but some people are buying in bulk. @NkoRaphael #ProtectSouthAfrica #KZNshutdown

Ntokozo, a woman from nearby Illovo, has bought 5 loaves of bread, retailing at R20,00 each. @NkoRaphael #ProtectSouthAfrica #KZNshutdown

Ngcebo Buthelezi says he plans to buy bread for R20,00 and resell it for R50,00. @NkoRaphael #ProtectSouthAfrica #KZNshutdown

Thabi Mtshali feels disappointed after not being allowed to purchase fuel using a container. Workers here say they have been given strict instructions not to sell to anyone using fuel containers amid fears of petrol being used during the looting. @NkoRaphael #SaveSouthAfrica

#ShutdownSA This motorist has been left frustrated after being refused to purchase petrol using a water container. He says he needs petrol so he can be mobile again. @NkoRaphael #ProtectSouthAfrica #KZNshutdown

WATCH: Some locals who spent the night guarding the garage from being looted are at pains, explaining to other commuters that they reached an agreement with the owners of the petrol station that petrol will not be sold to people using containers for safety concerns. @NkoRaphael

#ShutdownSA #ProtectSouthAfrica This woman, a community member, was among those who spent the night protecting the petrol station. She has backed the decision not to sell fuel to those using containers. @NkoRaphael

These ladies say they have been stuck in the queue for over 2 hours. They say will be in trouble if fuel runs out before they get a chance to refuel. @NkoRaphael #ShutdownSA #SaveSouthAfrica

Snenhlanhla Dube says she has been told that fuel at this petrol station has completely run out. @NkoRaphael #SaveSouthAfrica #ShutdownSA
