As the petrol price goes up again this evening in South Africa due to the conflict in the Middle East, questions are again being raised over why Africa is not selling oil internally?

To get a perspective on this issue, Thami Ngubeni spoke to Visvin Reddy, National Convener of People Against Petrol and Paraffin Price Increases and also member of parliament for the Umkhonto we Sizwe Party
