Households using paraffin will be hit hard, having to pay R3.55 more for a litre.
On top of the emergency interventions, the fuel price is also in a much better position due to the stronger rand versus the dollar since mid-March
Last week, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced a temporary emergency intervention to reduce the general fuel levy by R1.50 to help cash-strapped consumers.
The publication spoke to motorists who say it’s ridiculous to pay this much for fuel, however, they have little choice but to pay up.
“We don’t have a choice and we need to pay but it’s tough, very tough,” one motorist said.
The reduction in the general fuel levy will be in place until the end of May.
