BOL to launch rural mobile filling stations

In an interview with BusinessWeek, BOL Chief Executive Officer, Willie Mokgatlhe said the development of mobile filling stations in rural areas would mitigate the challenge of accessibility of fuel specifically in remote areas and facilitated involvement of citizens in the oil industry.

Mokgatlhe said citizens would have the opportunity to operate mobile filling stations in their communities, adding that this initiative augmented benefits for the communities in which the filling stations operated. He said the benefits of this initiative included employment creation and provision of services such as automated teller machines (ATMs) and convenience stores.
