Show Notes
South Africas government implements a temporary fuel levy cut, reducing petrols levy by three rand per liter and diesels by ninety-three cents, from April 1st to May 5th, 2026. This move aims to alleviate the impact of global oil price surges due to Middle East tensions. However, trade unions and groups like Cosatu and Outa argue that the cut is insufficient, as workers are already burdened by high transport costs and remaining price hikes still sting. The government plans to review the situation monthly and is open to further discussions to protect the economy and citizens from the financial strain.
