Show Notes
South Africas fuel prices are set to skyrocket, with petrol reaching over five rand per liter and diesel over ten rand, starting Tuesday midnight. This drastic increase, due to global oil shocks, is causing concern for workers and families who already spend over fifty percent of their pay on transport and electricity. The Motor Industry Staff Association is urging the government to temporarily cut fuel levies to alleviate the burden, as delays could lead to a brutal double squeeze on households. The situation risks job losses in the retail motor trade and could widen socio-economic cracks.
