Cape Town - It is uncertain how long the current shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will continue.
Due to a shortage of LPG Afrox is currently giving priority to big industrial companies and hospitals, spokesperson Simon Miller told Fin24.
The situation was caused by unforseen problems at four local refineries and coastal areas are expected to feel the impact the most.
Afrox is a member of the Linde Group, a global gases, engineering and technology company.
Miller told Fin24 that the situation is improving day by day.
"We expect normalisation in about two to three weeks. One cannot bank on it, but that is what we are expecting," he said.
Afrox is expecting usage to increase during winter and is looking at building up stock.
He said consumers must also remember that Afrox is currently in a strike situation with the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers Union (Ceppwawu).
This is adding to the supply problem and consumers should check about availability of stocks at their local suppliers.
