The Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF) has taken the first steps to sell a portion of SA's crude oil reserves by calling for bidders to register for pre-approval ahead of the bidding day.
The proceeds of the sale – which it is hoped will be around R6 billion – will be used to plug the hole in the national revenue fund left by the reduction of the fuel levy in April and May. The SFF said in a tender issued in mid-August that it would sell five cargoes of 950 000 barrels each.
