Beard shared the reality of the situation, saying that the riots have caused the rand weakening considerably in the past few days. He proposed that the petrol price could increase considerably due to the weakening of the rand, and he said it could even go up by 80c a litre.
He also advised that South Africans not leave their homes if they don't need to, conserve as much as you can, and stay safe.
