THE complete disruption caused by the fuel crisis last week was totally unacceptable. I was stuck in a traffic jam on my way home from work, deliberately caused by lorry drivers and taxi drivers. I was unable to visit relatives and friends because they had made sure deliveries of petrol were unable to get to stations. So, I had to conserve what petrol I had for travelling to and from work.

Nobody has a job for life these days and I am sorry if the current fuel prices affect these people's business but this sort of anarchy puts everybody's jobs and livelihood at risk.
