So, if you thought we had energy problems, there are now con artists selling fake ‘biofuel-producing plants’ in Kwa-Zulu Natal. That was the warning from the KZN provincial government today. The province has urged people to beware of buying alien plants from people claiming they will ‘buy back the vegetation’s by-products’ to be used as fuel. They are lying.
Some pretty enterprising conmen are flogging trees to unsuspecting folk for between R50 and R500 and promising to come back in a year to buy the seeds, flowers, bark and leaves to make snake oil bio oil.
Talk about preying on people’s ignorance. Shame.
