It follows audio clips and messages being circulated on social media - warning of a shutdown of petrol stations on Friday.

Newswatch has contacted several service stations from the south of Durban to west Durban and the north coast.

All of the filling stations contacted say they've received no directive to shut their doors and will be operating as normal.

Organisers of the National shutdown, People Against the Petrol Price Increase say they want people to stay at home, not use the roads and not fill up with fuel - in protest against the rising fuel prices.

The organisation's Visvin Reddy says the protest will be driven by people.
