🛢️Brent Crude is trading at USD 72 per barrel right now.
Yet South Africans are still paying R25+ per litre at the pumps?
This makes zero sense.
The Basic Fuel Price is directly linked to international crude + Rand strength. With oil this low, motorists deserve much bigger relief - not crumbs while taxes, levies and margins eat the rest.
Where is the transparency? Why the disconnect between global prices and what we pay? How much lower could it be without the extra taxes/levies?
Time to cut the unnecessary burdens on ordinary South Africans. Fuel is the lifeblood of the economy - lower it properly.

Government invested R18 billion in pension funds in 23 companies and lost 100% of its money https://t.co/fVS3IER5qs— Parliament intervene and appoint an Adhoc Committee to investigate these looters . LaMasela are looting worker’s pension with impunity .
To be very clear, I don’t haťe working but I haťe the concept of working 7-8 hours a day and then going home to only about 5 hours to yourself, which includes catching the bus, cooking, and getting ready for the next day. This is not life.
Workdays SHOULD be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There's no reason for people to spend most of their lives at work.
Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. That's why everyone is so miserable today.
The ANC government has abused this thing called TAX just to enrich themselves and their close associates!! @sarstax
For Example:
Pensioners shouldn't be taxed at all (These are the most vulnerable)
Why are we being taxed almost 50% of our income and still expected to pay tax for everything else we buy?
