South African Ministers Announce Fuel Levy Cut to Ease Price Hikes
South Africas finance and minerals ministers have unveiled a two-part plan to alleviate fuel price increases linked to the US-Iran conflict. The immediate action involves reducing the general fuel levy, effective from April 1 to May 5, 2026, lowering petrol prices by 2.10 rand per liter and diesel by 2.93 rand per liter. This move will cost the government approximately 6 billion rand in lost revenue for that month. The ministers aim to provide swift relief on fuel bills while maintaining stable supplies. The levy cut will be reviewed monthly for the next two periods, with adjustments as needed. The government is also preparing additional support for households and businesses, with further details forthcoming.
