SAPRA Official - South African Petroleum Retailers' Association

The South African Petroleum Retailers Association (SAPRA) strives for sustainable growth and profitability of Petroleum Retailers in a difficult trading environment. When SAPRA takes on challenges facing the industry, we do so in an inclusive way as the benefit and results impact all retailers in the country. Current and emerging Petroleum Retailers face many challenges. This sector is burdened with daunting legal and regulatory compliance, coupled with day-to-day operational challenges. SAPRA helps retailers with many of the challenges and interpretation of the sometimes-confusing industry semantics. This year in particular saw us focus on a strong communication strategy and business rescue initiatives to help retailers navigate through turbulent times. SAPRA acts as the conduit for Petroleum retailers to channel concerns in an organised manner. History has shown that our collaborative approach yields good results, and we will continue to develop this model.
