Show Notes

South Africas finance and mineral resources ministers unveil plans to combat escalating fuel prices, including a temporary cut to the general fuel levy. The move aims to alleviate the impact of a Middle East conflict on fuel costs, with petrol, diesel, and paraffin prices increasing. The levy reduction, effective from April 1 to May 5, 2026, will save households and key economic sectors from immediate financial strain. The government plans to recoup lost taxes without overspending, with a review of fuel pricing and additional support packages in the pipeline.
